A. Phenol (C6H5OH) is an aromatic compound and a colourless liquid widely used in household products and medicine. When it reacts with chlorine liquid (chlorine is a diatomic molecule), in the presence of a
catalyst, one of the aromatic hydrogen atoms attached directly to a C atom is replaced with a chlorine
atom, and liquid chlorophenol is formed. This replacement process is called chlorination
Write a balanced chemical equation for the chlorination reaction and explain how you balanced it. Note
that hydrogen chloride gas (HCI) is also a product of this chemical reaction and you should ignore the
presence of the catalyst in the equation.

The balanced chemical reaction equation for the reaction between aromatic phenol and chlorine gas in the presence of FeCl3 as catalyst is as follows;

C6H6O + Cl2 -------> C6H5OCl + HCl

An aromatic compound has 4n + 2 number of pi electrons. This condition is satisfied by phenol. Hence, phenol has the stability associated with aromatic compounds.

The reaction of phenol with chlorine in the presence of a catalyst such as FeCl3 is an aromatic electrophillic substitution reaction.

This reaction yields a chlorinated phenol (one of the aromatic hydrogen atoms attached directly to a C atom is replaced with a chlorine  atom and chlorophenol is formed).

A balanced chemical reaction equation is one in which the number of atoms of each element at the reactant side and the product side are equal. This condition is satisfied for the reaction;

C6H6O + Cl2 -------> C6H5OCl + HCl

personal, she chose to do it.

as given the equation is

2al + 6 hcl > 2 alcl3 + 3 h2(g)

as per equation two moles of aluminum reacts with six moles of hcl to give two moles of alcl3 and three moles of hydrogen gas

given: three moles of al are present and 7 moles of hcl

for three moles of aluminum nine moles of hcl will be required

however as 7 moles of hcl are present so the limiting reagent is hcl

hcl is going to decide the number of moles of product formed

when six moles of hcl are present = 3 moles of h2 are formed

when one mole of hcl is present == 3/6 mole sof h2 will be formed

when 7 moles of hcl are present = 3 x 7/ 6 moles of h2 will be formed = 3.5 moles of h2
