Question

At the completion of the reaction, water is added to decompose any remaining acetyl chloride, eventually all the initial acetyl chloride produces HCl.  What would be the expected volume of hydrogen chloride gas obtained from the complete decomposition of 16.0 mL of acetyl chloride at 60oF and 790 mmHg?  Assume no HCl is trapped in the solution

At the completion of the reaction, water is added to decompose any remaining acetyl chloride, eventually all the initial acetyl chloride produces HCl. What would be the expected volume of hydrogen chloride gas obtained from the complete decomposition of 16.0 mL of acetyl chloride at 60oF and 790 mmHg? Assume no HCl is trapped in the solution

Explanation / Answer

C2H3ClO + H2O ? C2H4O2 + HCl

(16.0 mL) x (1.104 g/ml) / (78.4980 g/mol) x (1/1) = 0.2250 mol HCl

60 degrees F = 288.7K
PV = nRT
V = nRT/ P = (0.2250 mol) x (62.36367 L?mmHg/?K?mol) x (288.7) / (790 mmHg) = 5.1278 L HCl
