If 2.44 moles of H2 are reacted with excess Cl2, how many moles of Hcl can be produced? Please explain.

H2+ Cl2>>2HCl

for each mole of H2, you get twice that number of moles of HCl.

So the answer is 4.88?

4.88 is not right. 4.88 moles is.

To determine the number of moles of HCl that can be produced, we need to consider the balanced chemical equation for the reaction between H2 and Cl2 to form HCl.

The balanced equation is: H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl

From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of H2 reacts with 1 mole of Cl2 to produce 2 moles of HCl.

Given that you have 2.44 moles of H2, we can conclude that 2.44 moles of H2 can react with an equal amount (2.44 moles) of Cl2 to produce twice the number of moles of HCl.

Therefore, the number of moles of HCl that can be produced when 2.44 moles of H2 are reacted with excess Cl2 is 2.44 x 2, which equals 4.88 moles of HCl.

To summarize, based on the balanced chemical equation, we can determine the stoichiometry of the reaction, which allows us to calculate the number of moles of HCl produced when a certain amount of H2 is reacted with excess Cl2. In this case, when 2.44 moles of H2 react, 4.88 moles of HCl can be produced.
