The bad smell of water containing hydrogen sulfide can be

Chapter 23, Problem 73QP

(choose chapter or problem)

The bad smell of water containing hydrogen sulfide can be removed by the action of chlorine. The reaction is

\(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}(a q)+\mathrm{Cl}_2(a q) \longrightarrow 2 \mathrm{HCl}(a q)+\mathrm{S}(s)\)

If the hydrogen sulfide content of contaminated water is 22 ppm by mass, calculate the amount of \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) (in grams) required to remove all the \(\mathrm{H}_2 \mathrm{~S}\) from \(2.0 \times 10^2 \mathrm{gal}\) of water. (1 gallon=3.785 \(\mathrm{~L}\).)
