Solution

\[\ce{H2 + Cl2 -> 2HCl}\]

1 vol. : 1 vol. → 2 vol.

As 4 cm3 of hydrogen was left behind, hence, 36 − 4 = 32 cm3 of a mixture of hydrogen and chlorine exploded.

As, 1 Vol. of hydrogen requires 1 Vol. of chlorine

∴ 16 cm3 hydrogen requires 16 cm3 of chlorine

∴ Mixture is 20 cm3 (i.e., 16 + 4) of hydrogen and 16 cm3 of chlorine.
