Why is water sometimes called the ""universal solvent?"".

Chemistry
1 answer:
Marysya12 [62]3 years ago

Answer:

Water is called the universal solvent because more substances dissolve in water than in any other chemical. This has to do with the polarity of each water molecule. The hydrogen side of each water (H2O) molecule carries a slight positive electric charge, while the oxygen side carries a slight negative electric charge.

What is the limiting reactant if 0.5 g Al is reacted with 3.5 g CuCl2?
DIA [1.3K]
The balanced equation for the above reaction is 
2Al + 3CuCl₂ --> 2AlCl₃ + 3Cu
stoichiometry of Al to CuCl₂ is 2:3
limiting reactant is when the reactant is fully consumed in the reaction therefore amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present. 
number of Al moles  - 0.5 g  / 27 g/mol = 0.019 mol
number of CuCl₂ moles - 3.5 g / 134.5 g/mol = 0.026 mol
if Al is the limiting reactant 
if 2 mol of Al reacts with 3 mol of CuCl₂
then 0.019 mol of Al reacts with - 3/2 x 0.019 = 0.029 mol of CuCl₂
but only 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ is present 
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant 
and 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ reacts with - 0.026/3 x 2 = 0.017 mol of Al is required
but 0.019 mol of Al is present 
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant and Al is in excess
