Question

The reaction of hydrochloric acid with manganese(IV) oxide produces chlorine as shown in the reaction below:

4 HCl(aq) + MnO₂(s) → MnCl₂(aq) + 2 H₂O(l) + Cl₂(g)

Consider the scenario where 95.50 g of MnO₂is dissolved in a solution with 114.33 g of HCI

i. Identify the limiting reactant

ii. Calculate the theoretical yield of Cl₂in grams

iii. Calculate the actual yield of chlorine if the percent yield is 76.3 %
