Question 5
(a) Using the legend given, draw a particle diagram to represent two molecules of chlorine (Cl2) and two molecules of hydrogen (H2) mixed together in a closed container. Both substances are in the gaseous state. [1 point]
Legend: an atom of hydrogen; an atom of chlorine (see symbols in the original diagram).
(b) The mixture in (a) undergoes a chemical reaction and produces hydrogen chloride (HCl) gas. Assuming that all the molecules in (a) have reacted completely, draw a particle diagram (using the same legend) to show the arrangement of the hydrogen chloride molecules in the closed container.
