Question:
Chlorine is prepared in the laboratory by treating manganese dioxide \((MnO_2)\) with aqueous hydrochloric acid according to the reaction
\(4 HCl (aq) + MnO_2(s) → 2H_2O (l) + MnCl_2(aq) + Cl_2 (g)\).
How many grams of HCl react with 5.0 g of manganese dioxide?

Solution and Explanation
1 mol [55 + 2 × 16 = 87 g] MnO2 reacts completely with 4 mol [4 × 36.5 = 146 g] of HCl.
∴ 5.0 g of MnO2 will react with = \(\frac {146\ g }{ 87 \ g} × 5.0\ g\) of HCl
= 8.4 g of HCl
Hence, 8.4 g of HCl will react completely with 5.0 g of manganese dioxide.

- Some CO\(_2\) gas was kept in a sealed container at a pressure of 1 atm and at 273 K. This entire amount of CO\(_2\) gas was later passed through an aqueous solution of Ca(OH)\(_2\). The excess unreacted Ca(OH)\(_2\) was later neutralized with 0.1 M of 40 mL HCl. If the volume of the sealed container of CO\(_2\) was \(x\), then \(x\) is ________________________ cm\(^3\) (nearest integer). [Given: The entire amount of CO\(_2\) reacted with exactly half the initial amount of Ca(OH)\(_2\) present in the aqueous solution.]
