100 cm3 of oxygen is made to react with 50 cm 3 of hydrogen, and the whole reaction mixture was then passed through anhydrous calcium chloride. What is the volume of gas left?
5 cm3
25 cm3
50 cm3
75 cm3
100 cm3

Explanation

2H2 + O2 → 2H2O
2V3 1V3 2V
50cm 100 —
50cm 25cm3 50cm3
Volume of gas left = (100 - 25)cm3 of O2 = 75 cm3 of O2
