Reaction of O₂ with HCl is as follow,

4 HCl + O₂ → 2 H₂O + 2 Cl₂

Let suppose we are given with 1 mole of HCl gas, Then,

According to eq,

89.6 L (4 moles) of HCl when reacted produced = 44.8 L (2 moles) Cl₂ gas

So,

22.4 L (1 mole) of HCl will produce = X L of Cl₂ gas

Solving for X,

X = (22.4 L * 44.8 L) : 89.6 L

X = 11.2 L of Cl₂ Gas
