Question

What volume of hydrogen gas, at 273 K and 1 atm, pressure will be consumed in obtaining 21.6 g of elemental boron (atomic mass = 10.8) from the reducti on of boron trichloride by hydrogen?

Options

A.67.2 L
B.44.8 L
C.22.4 L
D.89.6 L

Solution

No. of moles of boron = = 2
for BCl3
∴   1 mole of Boron = 3 mole of Cl
∴   2 mole of Boron = 6 mole of Cl
H2 + Cl2 → 2HC
⇒   3 moles of Hydrogen is required
= 3 × 22.4 = 67.2 Litre
