How many moles of the product fecl3 do you make, when 8moles of fe react with excess cl2

2 answers:

7 0

To figure out questions related to reacting moles/masses, the first step is always to write a complete balanced equation.

2Fe (s) + 3Cl2 (g) → 2FeCl3 (s)

Since Cl2 is the excess reactant, and Fe is the limiting reactant, we can simply find the number of moles of the product by comparing the mole ratio of the limiting reactant to the mole ratio of the product from the equation.

From the equation, mole ratio of Fe:FeCl3 = 2:2 = 1:1, the number of moles of product is exactly the same as the number of moles of the limiting reactant, which makes it 8 moles.

Note that if the mole ratio is not 1:1, you have to do some calculations to make sure the no. of moles is balanced at the end. Which means, if the mole ratio happened to be 1:2, the no. of moles of the product would be 8x2=16 instead.

So, your answer is 8 moles.

Which of the following is a balanced equation? Select one: a. A b. B c. C d. D

Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Explanation:

Balanced equations have the same number of elements on both sides. If the number of elements are equal to each other for every element in the equation on both sides, then the equation is balanced.

Important concept : The big number before an element or compound represents how many molecules of that compound or element there are in a reaction. To find the number of atoms of each element you multiply the coefficient by the subscript ( small number ) which represents the number of atoms of that element in each molecule. Ex. 3H2O. There is a coefficient of 3 meaning that there are 3 molecules of H2O. There is a subscript after H meaning there are 2 atoms of hydrogen in each molecule. To find the total number of atoms we multiply the subscript of hydrogen by the coefficient of the whole molecule. 3 * 2 = 6 , so there are a total of 6 atoms of hydrogen in 3H2O

A) Cu + 2AgNO3 ==> CuNO3 + 2Ag

1 Cu 1

2 Ag 2

2 N 1

3 O 3

The amount of nitrogen atoms is different on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation

B) CCl4 + O2 ==> CO2 + 2Cl2

1 C 1

4 Cl 4

2 O 2

The number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation therefore this is the balanced equation, however lets check the other answer choices just in case.

C) 2K + H2SO4 ==> K2SO4 + 2H2

2 K 2

1 H 4

1 S 1

4 O 4

The number of Hydrogen atoms are different on each side of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

D) 2Al2O3 ==> 2Al + 3O2

4 Al 2

6 O 6
There are a different amount of aluminum atoms on both sides of the equation therefore this is not a balanced equation.

What is the difference between an atom and an element?

Travka [436]

Answer:

A particular atom will have the same number of protons and electrons and most atoms have at least as many neutrons as protons. An element is a substance that is made entirely from one type of atom

Explanation:

so In simple terms an atom contains Protons and Electrons and can be found in an Element, but an element comprises of atoms which come together to form up that particular Element
