Calculate the volume of chlorine required for the reaction with zinc weighing 13 grams; the reaction product is zinc chloride.

The reaction of zinc with chlorine is described by the following chemical reaction equation:

Zn + Cl2 = ZnCl2;

One mole of chlorine reacts with one mole of zinc.

Let’s find the molar amount of the substance contained in 13 grams of zinc.

Its molar mass is 65 grams / mol;

N Zn = 13/65 = 0.2 mol;

Find the volume of 0.2 mol of chlorine.

Under normal conditions, one mole of ideal gas takes up a volume of 22.4 liters.

Let’s define chlorine:

V Cl2 = 0.2 x 22.4 = 4.48 liters;
