What is the limiting reactant if 0.5 g Al is reacted with 3.5 g CuCl2?

Chemistry

DIA [1.3K]3 years ago

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

Chlorine (Cl) is 76% chlorine-35 and 24% chlorine-37. Determine the average atomic mass of chlorine. Show/Explain work.
Flura [38]

Answer:

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Explanation:

Given data:

Percent abundance of Cl-35 = 76%

Percent abundance of Cl-37 = 24%

Average atomic mass = ?

Solution:

Average atomic mass  = (abundance of 1st isotope × its atomic mass) +(abundance of 2nd isotope × its atomic mass)  / 100

Average atomic mass  = (76×35)+(24×37) /100

Average atomic mass =  2660 + 888 / 100

Average atomic mass  = 3548/ 100

Average atomic mass = 35.48 amu

Average atomic mass of chlorine is 35.48 amu.

Which of the following is an important application of hydrogen bonding
Andrews [41]

Hydrogen bonding is important because it is crucial to all life on Earth. Here are three reasons why hydrogen bonding is important. DNA has a double-helix structure because hydrogen bonds hold together the base pairs in the middle. Without hydrogen bonds, DNA would have to exist as a different structure.

What neutral element has the electron configuration described by the Aufbau diagram above.​
devlian [24]

Answer:

Aluminium.

Explanation:

The above electronic configuration can be written in a simplified form as shown below:

1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²3p¹

Next, we shall determine the number of electrons in the atom of the element as follow:

Number electron = 2 + 2 + 6 + 2 + 1

Number of electron = 13

Next, we shall determine the number of protons.

Since the element is in its neutral state,

The number of electrons and protons are equal i.e

Proton = Electron

Number of electron = 13

Proton = Electron = 13

Proton = 13

Next, we shall determine the atomic number of the element.

The atomic number of an element is simply the number of protons in the atom of the element i.e

Atomic number = proton number

Proton = 13

Atomic number = 13

Comparing the atomic number of the element with those in the periodic table, the element with the above electronic configuration is aluminium since no two elements have the same atomic number.
