Question

Write qc for the reaction of hydrogen chloride gas with oxygen gas to produce chlorine gas and water vapor.

Answer 1

Answer : When the Hydrogen chloride gas reacts with oxygen to form chlorine gas and water vapor the reaction can be as follows,

$4 HCl _{(g)} + O_{2} _{(g)} ----\ \textgreater \ 2Cl_{2} _{(g)} + 2H_{2}O _{(g)}$

$Q_{c}$ = [$[Cl_{2}] ^{2} [H_{2}O]^{2} / [HCL]^{4} [O_{2}]$.
