Question

Turpentine, a hydrocarbon commonly used as paint thinner, burst into a flame when warmed and placed in contact with chlorine

0H16 + 8Cl2 → 10C + 16HCl

How many moles of Cl2 are required to react with 3.6 g C10H16?

Answer 1

Moles $C_{10}H_{16}=\frac{3 .6} {136.23 }=0.026moles$

Moles of $Cl_2=0.026×\frac{8}{16}=0.013moles$
