Chlorine gas (Cl2) can be prepared on a small scale according to the following balanced equation: MnO2(s) + 4 HCl(aq) -----> MnCl2(aq) + 2 H2O(l) + Cl2(g) If you perform this reaction with 10.0 grams of HCl and excess MnO2, what volume of Cl2, measured at 740 mm Hg and collected over water 27.0oC, can be obtained? (The vapor pressure of water at 27oC = 26.7 mm Hg)
