It is <u>true</u> that ionic compounds are formed from atoms that have opposite charges.

<h3>What are ionic compounds?</h3>

Ionic compounds are chemical compounds made up of ions held together by electrostatic forces termed ionic bonding.

The ionic compound formed is neutrally charged but consists of positively charged ions called cations and negatively charged ions called anions.

For example, the sodium ions attract chloride ions and the chloride ion attracts sodium ions. The result is the formation of an ionic compound with cation Na+ and anion Cl– ions.

Therefore, it is true that an ionic compound is made up of positive and negative ions.

If you start with 512 grams of aluminum and 1147 grams of copper chloride to make aluminum chloride and copper, what is the limi

Setler [38]

Answer:

Copper (II) chloride.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the described reaction which is also given as:

$2Al + 3CuCl_2 \rightarrow 2AlCl_3 + 3Cu$

For us to identify the limiting reactant we first compute the available moles of aluminium:

$n_{Al}=512gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}=19.0molAl$

Next, we compute the consumed moles of aluminium by the 1147 grams of copper (II) chloride by using their 2:3 molar ratio:

$n_{Al}^{consumed}=1147gCuCl_2*\frac{1molCuCl_2}{134.45gCuCl_2}*\frac{2molAl}{3molCuCl_2} =5.69molAl$

Thereby, we can infer aluminium is in excess since less moles are consumed than available whereas the copper (II) chloride is the limiting reactant.

Best regards.
