Try it on paper first. A hint, the key idea and the worked solution are here when you need them.
A chemist heats of sodium chloride () with of concentrated sulphuric acid () at about . Then a further of sodium chloride is added and the mixture is heated to about . Find the volume of hydrogen chloride from the first stage at and . Find the mass of sodium hydrogen sulphate () after the first stage. Find the mass of sodium sulphate () after the second stage.

Work it out on paper first. It is fine to get stuck or make a mistake: that is how we learn. When you are ready, go through the solution one step at a time, and check each step against your own.
Step 1. Moles. NaCl: . H2SO4: .
Step 2. First stage. uses them 1 : 1, so of HCl forms. The volume is .
Step 3. The hydrogen sulphate. of NaHSO4 has a mass of .
Step 4. Second stage. uses the second of salt, and gives of Na2SO4. The mass is .
Answer: , and .
Check. Another of hydrogen chloride comes off in the second stage. Overall, 1 mol of H2SO4 and 2 mol of NaCl give 2 mol of HCl.

In an interhalogen compound or a xenon compound, count the lone pairs on the central atom. The number is the outer electrons minus the electrons used in bonds, divided by 2. The steric number is the bonded atoms plus the lone pairs. A weak acid with constant and concentration gives with , and .
