Answer:

1.75moles of Cl₂ are needed

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

2 LiBr (aq) + Cl₂(g) → 2 LiCl(aq) + Br₂(l)

2 moles of LiBr and 1 mole of chlorine produce 2 moles of lithium chloride and 1 mole of bromine.

Thus, when 3.50 moles of LiCl are produced, moles of chlorine needed are:

3.50 moles of LiCl × (1mol Cl₂ / 2mol LiCl) = 1.75moles of Cl₂ are needed
