9.3 Exercise 20

Avg difficulty 2.5

The chlorofluorocarbon CCl2F2 can be recycled into a different compound by reaction with hydrogen to produce CH2F2(g), a compound useful in chemical manufacturing:
CCl2F2(g)+4H2(g)⟶CH2F2(g)+2HCl(g)\text{CCl}_{2} \text{F}_{2} \left(g\right) + 4 \text{H}_{2} \left(g\right) \rightarrow \text{CH}_{2} \text{F}_{2} \left(g\right) + 2 \text{HCl} \left(g\right)

(a) Outline the steps necessary to answer the following question: What volume of hydrogen at 225 atm and 35.5 °C would be required to react with 1 ton (1.000 ×\times 103 kg) of CCl2F2?

(b) Answer the question.
