are mixed.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:

\\

H

_2(g) +

Cl

_2(g) \rightarrow 2

HCl

(g) \\ \\

At STP (Standard Temperature and Pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

\\ \\

Given:

\\

• Volume of

H

_2 = 22.4

L

\\

• Volume of

Cl

_2 = 11.2

L

\\ \\

Calculate the moles of each gas:

\\

Moles of

H_2 = \frac{22.4 \ L}{22.4 \ L/mol} = 1

mol

\\

Moles of

{Cl}_2 = \frac{11.2 L}{22.4 \ L/mol} = 0.5

mol

\\ \\

According to the balanced equation, 1 mole of

H

_2

reacts with 1 mole of

Cl

_2

to produce 2 moles of

HCl

. \\ \\

Since

Cl

_2

is the limiting reagent (0.5 mol), it will determine the amount of

HCl

formed.

\\ \\

Using the stoichiometry of the reaction:

\\ 0.5

mol of

Cl

_2 \rightarrow 2 \times 0.5

mol of

HCl

= 1

mol of

HCl

\\ \\

Therefore, the moles of

HCl

formed is

1

mol.

\\ \\

This corresponds to Option 1.
