Expert Answer:
The chemical equation is given by:
1 mole Hydrogen H2 reacts with 1 mole chlorine Cl2 to form 2 moles of HCl.
Therefore, 1 vol H2 reacts with 1 vol Cl2 and forms 2 vol HCl.
H2 and Cl2 reacts in equal volumes.
As 4 cm3 H2 is left after the completion of reaction, the volume of gases reacting must be 16 cm3 H2 and 16 cm3 Cl2
Hence, the composition of mixture is:
16 + 4 = 20 cm3 of H2 and 16 cm3 of Cl2.
