35.5 g of tetrachloroethane is added if 15 grams of chlorine is used with excess C_2H_2.

<h3>What is a balanced chemical equation?</h3>

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is  the same for both the reactants and the products.

Balanced chemical equation:

2Cl_2 (g) + C_2H_2 (g) → C_2H_2Cl_4(l)

In your case, 2 moles of chlorine gas are needed to produce 1 mole of tetrachloroethane, which implies that there's a 2:1 mole ratio between the two.

Calculating the mass of tetrachloroethane.

mC_2H_2Cl_4(l) = 15 g Cl_2 (g) X \frac{2 mol \;of \;Cl_2}{70 g \;Cl_2} X \frac{1 mol \;of \;C_2H_2Cl_4(l)}{2 mol \;Cl_2} X \frac{167.8 g \;C_2H_2Cl_4(l))}{1 mol \;C_2H_2Cl_4}

C_2H_2Cl_4(l) = 17.75 g

C_2H_2Cl_4(l) = 35.5 g

Hence, 35.5 g of tetrachloroethane is added if 15 gram of chlorine is used with excess C_2H_2

How does gravity affect the rain during a rainstorm?
Advocard [28]

Gravity is the force of attraction between two objects, and Earth's gravity pulls matter downward, toward its center. It pulls precipitation down from clouds and pulls water downhill. Gravity also moves air and ocean water. ... Gravity pulls denser air and water downward, forcing less dense air and water to move upward.
