Benzenediazonium chloride, C6H5N2Cl, decomposes in water as shown in the following equation. C6H5N2Cl(aq) + H2O(l) → C6H5OH(aq) + N2(g) + HCl(aq) A solution of 0.0750moldm¬³ of C6H5N2Cl(aq) decomposes at a constant temperature of 50°C. The volume of nitrogen gas, N2(g), collected is recorded every 5 minutes for 45 minutes.
