Chlorine can be prepared in the laboratory by the reaction of manganese dioxide with hydrochloric acid, HCl(aq) , as described by the chemical equation MnO2(s)+4HCl(aq)⟶MnCl2(aq)+2H2O(l)+ Cl2(g)

How much MnO2(s) should be added to excess HCl(aq) to obtain 185 mL Cl2(g) at 25 °C and 745 Torr ?

mass of MnO2:

0.605 g

Explanation:

First we calculate how many Cl₂ moles need to be produced, using the PV=nRT formula:

Inputting the data:

Then we convert 0.00696 moles of Cl₂ to MnO₂ moles:

Finally we convert 0.00696 moles of MnO₂ to grams, using its molar mass:

aquifers are bounded above and below by impermeable rock. the driving force of groundwater movement in confined aquifers is pressure, rather than gravity.
