Question
The first synthesis of chlorine gas was achieved in 1774 by oxidizing Nacl(aq) and H2SO4(aq) with solid
manganese (IV) oxide, Mno2, as follows:
Nacl(aq) + H2SO4(aq) + MnO2(s) à Na2s04 (aq) + MnCl2 (aq) + H20 + Cl2(8)
In a pilot scale verification, 0.5 kg of MnO2 were reacted with 85% by mass H2SO4(aq), containing 0.5 kg
solute, and 80% by mass Nacl(aq), containing 0.5 kg solute. The products were sent to a separator where
gaseous products are separated from the solution. During the process of separation, 12% of water
produced vaporized. Assuming 100% completion, calculate the % compositions of the solution and the
gaseous streams.
AW: Na = 23
Cl = 35.45
H = 1 S= 32.1
O = 16
Mn = 54.9
