Question
Chlorine has a strong tendency to combine with a single hydrogen atom to form HCl. Look in the periodic table and list at least three other elements that you would expect to combine with hydrogen the way that chlorine does.
Step 1
Chlorine is in the 17th group (also known as the Halogens) and in the 3rd period. Show more…

The gas hydrogen and chlorine do not react with each other even if kept together for a long time. However, in the presence of sunlight, they readily combine. What actually happens ?
Chlorine is prepared industrially by heating hydrogen chloride gas with oxygen gas. Assuming the only products are water and chlorine gas, write a balanced chemical equation for the manufacture of chlorine.
Chlorine has two natural isotopes: ${ }_{1} 7 \mathrm{Cl}$ and $\left.{ }_{1}^{3}\right\} \mathrm{Cl}$. Hydrogen reacts with chlorine to form the compound $\mathrm{HCl}$. Would a given amount of hydrogen react with different masses of the two chlorine isotopes? Does this conflict with the law of definite proportion? Why or why not?
