QUESTION:

Chlorine is produced from sodium chloride by the electrochemical chlor-alkali process. During the process, the chlorine is collected in a container that is isolated from the other products to prevent unwanted (and explosive) reactions. If a \(15.50-L\) container holds \(0.5950 kg\) of \(\mathrm{Cl}_{2}\) gas at \(225^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\), calculate

(a) \(P_{\text {IGL }}\)

(b) \(P_{\text {VDW }}\left(\text { use } R=0.08206 \frac{\mathrm{atm} \cdot \mathrm{L}}{\mathrm{mol} \cdot \mathrm{K}}\right)\)

ANSWER:

Solution 71P

Here, We have to calculate the pressure of chlorine gas by using ideal gas equation and vander waal’s expression.

Step 1 of 3

Let’s calculate the number of mole of Cl2

Number of moles of Cl2 = 

Given weight of chlorine = 0.5950 kg

Convert the Kg into grams.

1 Kg = 1000gm

So, the conversion factor is   

0.5950 kg   = 595 gm.

Moles of Cl2 =  = 8.39 mol

Therefore, moles of chlorine gas is 8.39 mol.
