Given:
Volume of NCl3 = 8 L
To Find:
The total volume of gases produced upon the decomposition of nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) into nitrogen and chlorine.
Calculation:
- No of moles in 8 L NCl3 = 8/22.4 = 0.357 moles
- The decomposition reaction of NCl3 is given as:
2 NCl3 (g) → N2 (g) + 3 Cl2 (g)
⇒ 2 moles of NCl3 decomposes to give 1 mole N2 and 3 moles Cl2.
⇒ 1 mole of NCl3 decomposes to give 0.5 mole N2 and 1.5 moles Cl2.
⇒ 0.357 moles of NCl3 decomposes to give 0.1785 moles N2 and 0.5355 moles Cl2.
- Total moles of gases produced = 0.1785 + 0.5355 = 0.714
- Total volume of gases produced = 0.714 × 22.4 ≈ 16 L
- So, the total volume of gases produced upon the decomposition of 8 L nitrogen trichloride (NCl3) is 16 Litres.
