answer : E) .54.0 grams
the balanced reaction is :
mass of HCl = 8.88 x 10^4 mg
                  Â
= 88.8 g
2KMnO4 (aq) + 16HCl (aq) -------------> 2KCl (s) + 2MnCl2
(aq) + 8H2O (l) + 5Cl2 (g)
                        Â
584
g                                                                                    Â
355 g
                        Â
88.8
g                                                                                       Â
??
according to balanced equation :
584 g HCl  ---------------> 355 g Cl2
88.8 g HCl -------------->Â Â ?? g Cl2
mass of Cl2 gas = 88.8 x 355 / 584
                         Â
= 54.0 grams
mass of chlorine gas = 54.0 grams
