how many liters of HCl gas is produced by a reaction of 18 L of H2 Gas with 18 L of Cl2 gas? (at same temperature and pressure?)

wouldnt it be 36 L since for ever 1 mole of H2 and Cl2 there are 2 moles of HCl?

H2+Cl2 <=>2HCl
For equal temperature and partial pressure you have moles H2=moles Cl2 and since the stoichiometry is 1:1, for 100% reaction you will have all of the H2 and Cl2 reacting giving a double amount of HCl, so yes the volume will be 36 L.

If the reaction is at constant temperature and pressure, the volume is identical to the coefficients. Therefore, just balance the equation and use it as a conversion factor.
H2 + Cl2 ---> 2HCL
If you have 18 volumes of H2 and 18 volumes of Cl2, then you will have 9 volumes of HCl, in this case, 9 liters of HCl.
