A reaction of 1 liter of chlorine gas (cl2) with 3 liters of fluorine gas (f2) yields 2 liters of a gaseous product. all gas volumes are at the same temperature and pressure. what is the formula of the gaseous product? (type your answer using the format co2 for co2.)

Respuesta :

When gasses are under the same conditions (same temperature and pressure),  the volume relationships between gasses, give the coefficients of the balanced equation. 

So,  
[tex]1Cl_2 + 3F_2 ---\ \textgreater \ 2 (Product)[/tex]

Now, we can find the product using this balanced chemical equation.

On reactant side, we have :
[tex]1Cl_2 + 3F_2 = 2Cl + 6F atoms[/tex]

Product will contain 
2Cl + 6F  atoms 
[tex]2Cl + 6F = 2(Cl + F_3) = 2ClF_3[/tex]

= 2(Product)

So, 
The formula of the product is =  [tex]ClF_3[/tex]
