The mass of iron (III) oxide (Fe2O3) : 85.12 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
3.20x10²³ formula units
Required
The mass
Solution
1 mole = 6.02.10²³ particles
Can be formulated :
N = n x No
N = number of particles
n = mol
No = 6.02.10²³ = Avogadro's number
mol of Fe₂O₃ :
mass of Fe₂O₃ (MW=160 g/mol)
The balanced chemical reaction is
<span>2al + 3cl2 = 2alcl3
To determine the maximum amount of product, we need to determine which is the limiting reactant. Then, use the initial amount of that reactant to calculate the amount of the product that would be produced. We do as follows:
7 mol Al (3 mol Cl2 / 2 mol Al) = 10.5 mol Cl2
8 mol Cl2 ( 2 mol Al / 3 mol Cl2) = 5.3 mol Al
Thus, it is Cl2 that is the limiting reactant.
8 mol Cl2 ( 2 mol AlCl3 / 3 mol Cl2) = 5.3 moles of AlCl3 is produced</span>
