Answer : The correct answer for the Theoretical Yield is 48.93 g of product .

Theoretical yield : It is amount of product produced by limiting reagent . It is smallest product yield of product formed .

Following are the steps to find theoretical yield .

Step 1) : Write a balanced reaction between Al and Cl₂ .

2 Al + 3 Cl₂→ 2 AlCl₃

Step 2: To find amount of product (AlCl₃) formed by Al .

Following are the sub steps to calculate amount of AlCl₃ formed :

a) To calculate mole of Al :

Given : Mass of Al = 35.5 g

Mole can be calculate by following formula :

Mole = \frac{given mass (g)}{atomic mass \frac{g}{mol}}

Mole = \frac{35.5 g }{26.9 \frac{g}{mol}}

Mole = 1.32 mol

b) To find mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Al

Mole ratio is calculated from balanced reaction .

Mole of Al in balanced reaction = 2

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2.

Hence mole ratio of AlC; l₃ : Al = 2:2

c) To find mole of AlCl₃ formed :

Mole of AlCl_3 = Mole of Al * Mole ratio

Mole of AlCl_3 = 1.32 mol of Al * \frac{2}{2}

Mole of AlCl₃ = 1.32 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃

Molar mass of AlCl₃ = 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of AlCl3 can be calculated using mole formula as:

1.32 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{ mass (g)}{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}

Multiplying both side by 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}

1.32 mole  * 133.34\frac{g}{mol} = \frac{mass (g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}} *133.34  \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of AlCl₃ = 176.00 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Al is 176.00 g

Step 3) To find mass of product (AlCl₃) formed by Cl₂ :

Same steps will be followed to calculate mass of AlCl₃

a) Find mole of Cl₂

Mole of Cl_2 = \frac{39.0 g}{70.9\frac{g}{mol}}

Mole of Cl₂ = 0.55 mol

b) Mole ratio of Cl₂ : AlCl₃

Mole of Cl₂ in balanced reaction = 3

Mole of AlCl₃ in balanced reaction = 2

Hence mole ratio of AlCl₃ : Cl₂ = 2 : 3

c) To find mole of AlCl₃

Mole of AlCl_3 = mole of Cl_2 * mole ratio

Mole of AlCl_3 = 0.55  mole  * \frac{2}{3}

Mole of AlCl3 = 0.367 mol

d) To find mass of AlCl₃ :

0.367 mol of AlCl_3 = \frac{mass (g) }{133.34 \frac{g}{mol}}

Multiplying both side by

133.34 \frac{g}{mol}

0.367 mol of AlCl_3 * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}  = \frac{mass(g)}{133.34\frac{g}{mol}}   * 133.34 \frac{g}{mol}

Mass of AlCl₃ = 48.93 g

Hence mass of AlCl₃ produced by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Step 4) To identify limiting reagent and theoretical yield :

Limiting reagent is the reactant which is totally consumed when the reaction is complete . It is identified as the reactant which produces least yield or theoretical yield of product .

The product AlCl₃ formed by Al = 176.00 g

The product AlCl₃ formed by Cl₂ = 48.93 g

Since Cl₂ is producing less amount of product hence it is limiting reagent and 48.93 g will be considered as Theoretical yield .

What do astronomers use to calculate the age of the universe? Select three options.
sasho [114]

The answers are

The age of the oldest stars

How fast distant galaxies are moving away from us

Patterns of background radiation.

Explanation:

The Astronomers calculate the age of the universe by looking for oldest stars, and by measuring the rate of expansion of the universe and back to big bang.

The Astronomers used the techniques like the age of oldest stars, how fast the distant galaxies are moving away from us, patterns of background radiation and along with the Big Bang as reference point, they estimate that the universe may be approximately 12 billion years old.
