Question

When 1 mole of PCl3 is produced, how many grams of Cl2 are produced ? Enter as a number correct to 2 decimal places

Answer 1

`212.70` grams

Step-by-step explanation:

Weight of one mole of Cl2 in grams =
`70.9`

Weight of one mole of PCl3 in grams =
`137.33`

Weight of one mole of chlorine atom in grams =
`35. 453`

From one molecule of PCl3, three molecule of chlorine gas can be produced.

Weight of three molecule of chlorine gas

`= 3 * 70.9 \\= 212.70`grams
