(b) When the concentration of sodium chloride solution is high, the gas that collects

in test tube P is mostly chlorine. The equation for its formation is:

2Cl− o Cl2 + 2e−


In one experiment, the volume of chlorine gas collected was 18 cm3.
(i) Calculate the amount, in moles, of chlorine gas in 18 cm3.
(The volume of 1 mol of a gas at room temperature and pressure is 24 000 cm3)
(2)

Amount = ......................................................................... mol


(ii) Calculate the quantity of electricity, in coulombs, needed to produce this volume
of chlorine gas.
(1 faraday = 96 500 coulombs)
(2)

Quantity = ............................................................................. C
(c) Chlorine reacts with potassium bromide solution. The equation for this reaction is:

Cl2(g) + 2Br−(aq) o 2Cl–(aq) + Br2 (aq)


This reaction can be described as both a displacement reaction and a redox reaction.
(i) Identify the element that is displaced in this reaction.
