1.	Chlorine is prepared in the laboratory by treating manganese dioxide (MnO_(2)) with aqueous hydrochloric acid according to the reaction : 4 HCl_((aq)) + MnO_(2(s)) rarr 2H_(2)O_((l)) +MnCl_(2(aq)) + Cl_(2(g)) How many grams of HCl react with 5.0 g of manganese dioxide ?
Answer» Solution :`4HCl_((aq)) +MnO_(2(s)) RARR 2H_(2)O_((l)) + MnCl_(2(aq)) + Cl_(2(g))` `4 xx 36.5 ""87` `87 g MnO_(2) = 4xx 36.5 g HCl` `5 g Mno-(2) = "" (?)` `= (4xx36.5 xx 5)/(87) = 8.39` gm HCl For COMPLETE reaction of 87 gm` MnO_(2)`, 8.39 g HCl
