Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(A) Zero J

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

1 mole of \(\mathrm{H}_2\) reacts with 1 mole of \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) to produce 2 moles of HCl.
Hence, 100 mL of \(\mathrm{H}_2\) would react with 100 mL of \(\mathrm{Cl}_2\) to produce 200 mL of HCl.
\(\mathrm{V}_1 =100+100=200 \mathrm{~mL}=0.2 \mathrm{dm}^3 \)
\( \mathrm{V}_2 =200 \mathrm{~mL}=0.2 \mathrm{dm}^3 \)
\( \mathrm{W} =-\mathrm{P}_{\text {ext }} \Delta \mathrm{V}=-\mathrm{P}_{\mathrm{ext}}\left(\mathrm{~V}_2-\mathrm{V}_1\right)\)\(\left(\because 100 \mathrm{~J}=1 \mathrm{dm}^3 \text { bar }\right).\)
\( \mathrm{W} =-1(0.2-0.2) \)
\( =\text { zero } \mathrm{J}\)
