Answer

H2+Cl22HCl
1 vol:1 vol2 vol

To calculate the amount of hydrogen used

Cl2:H2
1:1
4:x

⇒ x = 1\over 1 × 4 = 4 lit

Remaining hydrogen = 6 – 4 = 2 lit.

To calculate the amount of HCl :

Cl2:HCl
1:2
4:x

⇒ x = 2\over 1 × 4 = 8 lit

Hence, after reaction 8 lit of HCl is formed which dissolves in water and 2 lit of hydrogen is left.

∴ 2 lits. of hydrogen is left.
