When aluminum metal is made to contact with chlorine gas (Cl₂), a highly exothermic reaction proceeds. This produces aluminum chloride (AlCl₃) powder. The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is shown below:
2Al(s) + 3Cl₂(g) → 2AlCl₃(s)
Since it was stated that aluminum is in excess, this means that the amount of AlCl₃ produced will only depend on the amount of Cl₂ gas available. The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.906 g/mol. Using stoichiometry, we have the following equation:
(21.0 g Cl₂/ 70.906 g/mol Cl₂) x 2 mol AlCl₃/ 2 mol Cl₂ = 0.1974 mol AlCl₃
Thus, we have determined that 0.1974 <span>moles of aluminum chloride can be produced from 21.0 g of chlorine gas. </span>
Answer:
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
Explanation:
Fe → ²⁺
O → ²⁻
But Iron III is Fe³⁺
So we have Fe³⁺ and O²⁻, the formula for the oxide must be Fe₂O₃ so the equation can be:
4Fe + 3O₂ → 2Fe₂O₃
Answer:
4. trigonal planar symmetry.
Explanation:
The sp2 hybridization is formed with one s and two p atomic orbitals and form trigonal planar symmetry. In sp2 hybridization, there are same valence shell in both the orbitals and it gives three equivalent sp2 hybridized orbitals that are separated by 120 degrees giving trigonal planar symmetry.
Hence, the correct answer is "4. trigonal planar symmetry.".
