When aluminum (Al) reacts with chlorine gas (Cl2), aluminum chloride (AlCl3) is produced according to the balanced equation belo

w: 2Al + 3Cl2 → 2AlCl3 If 20 atoms of aluminum react with 45 molecules of chlorine gas, which reactant is limiting and how many more atoms/molecules would be required to use up all the reactants?

The balanced reaction shows for every 2 Aluminum we need 3 Chloride gas.

20 Al * (3 Cl / 2 Al) = 30 Cl
We have 45 Cl ... Which is more than enough for 20 Al
We have excess Cl
Then the limiting reagent =  Al

Answer : Aluminium atom is limiting reagent and 10 more atoms will be required.

Solution :

The balanced reaction is,

2Al+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3

According to the reaction, 2 atoms of aluminium react with 3 molecules of chlorine gas which means that 6 atoms of chlorine.

(1) Then 20 atoms of aluminum react with :

\frac{6}{2}\times 20=60 atoms of chlorine

60 atoms of chlorine = \frac{60}{2}=30 molecules of chlorine gas

(2) Now 45 molecules of chlorine gas will react with :

Number of atoms of chlorine in 45 molecules of chlorine gas = 90 atoms

Now 90 atoms of chlorine will react with : \frac{2}{6}\times 90=30 atoms of aluminium

From this we conclude that the aluminum is a limiting reagent and the chlorine is an excess reagent.

Number of aluminium atoms required = Number of aluminium required to consume chlorine - number of aluminium atoms given

Number of aluminium atoms required = 30 - 20 = 10 atoms of aluminium atoms.

A 29.2 mL sample of a 0.458 M aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution is titrated with a 0.337 M aqueous sodium hydroxide solution. W
Svetach [21]

Answer:

3.51

Explanation:

Before any sodium hydroxide has been added, the pH is that of the aqueous hydrofluoric acid solution.

HF is a weak acid that dissociates according to the following equation.

HF(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)      Ka = 6.76 × 10⁻⁴

We can find [H⁺] using the following expression.

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

where

Ca: concentration of the acid

Ka: acid dissociation constant

[H⁺] = √(Ca × Ka)

[H⁺] = √(0.458 × 6.76 × 10⁻⁴)

[H⁺] = 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ M

The pH is:

pH = -log [H⁺]

pH = -log 3.10 × 10⁻⁴ = 3.51

A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol
Kryger [21]

Answer:

0.44 moles

Explanation:

Given that :

A mixture of water and graphite is heated to 600 K in a 1 L container. When the system comes to equilibrium it contains 0.17 mol of H2, 0.17 mol of CO, 0.74 mol of H2O, and some graphite.

The equilibrium constant K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

The equilibrium constant  K_c=  \dfrac{(0.17 )(0.17)}{0.74}

The equilibrium constant K_c=  0.03905

Some O2 is added to the system and a spark is applied so that the H2 reacts completely with the O2.

The equation for the reaction is :

H_2 + \dfrac{1}{2}O_2 \to H_2O \\ \\ 0.17 \ \ \ \ \  \ \ \ \ \to0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.74+0.17

Total mole of water now = 0.91 moles

Again:

K_c=  \dfrac{[CO][H_2]}{[H_2O]}

0.03905 =  \dfrac{[0.17+x][x]}{[0.91 -x]}

0.03905(0.91 -x) = (0.17 +x)(x)

0.0355355 - 0.03905x = 0.17x + x²

0.0355355 +0.13095 x -x²

x² - 0.13095 x - 0.0355355 = 0

By using quadratic formula

x = 0.265  or   x = -0.134

Going by the value with the positive integer; x = 0.265 moles

Total moles of CO in the flask when the system returns to equilibrium is :

= 0.17 + x

= 0.17 + 0.265

= 0.435 moles

=0.44 moles (to two significant figures)
