If pressure and temperature are kept constant,the reaction of 38 mL of Cl₂ gas with 22 mL of CH₄ gas via the equation: Cl₂ (g) + CH₄ (g) → HCl (g) + CH₃Cl (g)
Will produce a total of ________ mL of products.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

According to Avogadro's law, equal volumes of gases at the same temperature and pressure contain equal numbers of molecules. The given reaction is a 1:1 reaction, meaning one molecule of Cl₂ reacts with one molecule of CH₄ to produce one molecule of HCl and one molecule of CH₃Cl. Therefore, the total volume of reactants (38 mL of Cl₂ + 22 mL of CH₄ = 60 mL) will be equal to the total volume of products, which is also 60 mL, assuming the reaction goes to completion under constant temperature and pressure.
