1.	In a reaction container, 100g of hydrogen and 100 g of Cl_2 are mixed for the formation of HCl gas. What is the limiting reagent and how much HCl is formed in the reaction ?
Answer» `H_2` is limiting reagent and 36.5 G of HCl are FORMED. `Cl_2` is limiting reagent and 102.8 g of HCl are formed. `H_2` is limiting reagent and 142 g of HCl are formed. `Cl_2` is limiting reagent and 73 g of HCl are formed. Solution :`underset(2g)(H_2)+underset(71g)(Cl_2) to underset(73g)(2HCl)` 2g of `H_2` reacts with 71 g of `Cl_2` 100 g of `H_2` reacts with `71/2xx100=3550g " of " Cl_2` Hence, `Cl_2` isthe limiting reagent. 71g of `Cl_2` produces 73 g of HCl 100G of `Cl_2` will produce `73/71xx100=102.8g` of HCl
