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

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.

A small portion of a crystal lattice is sketched below. What is the name of the unit cell of this lattice? Your answer must be a

Nikolay [14]

This is an incomplete question, the given sketch is shown below.

Answer : The name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

Explanation :

Unit cell : It is defined as the smallest 3-dimensional portion of a complete space lattice which when repeated over the and again in different directions produces the complete space lattice.

There are three types of unit cell.

SCC (simple-centered cubic unit cell)
BCC (body-centered cubic unit cell)
FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

In SCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners.

$Z=\frac{1}{8}\times 8=1$

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 1

In BCC, the atoms are arranged at the corners and the body center.

$Z=\frac{1}{8}\times 8+1=2$

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 2

The given unit cell is, FCC because the atoms are arranged at the corners and the center of the 6 faces.

$Z=\frac{1}{8}\times 8+\frac{1}{2}\times 6=4$

The number of atoms of unit cell = Z = 4

Thus, the name of given unit cell is, FCC (face-centered cubic unit cell)

Find the ratio of the effusion rate of hydrogen gas to the effusion rate of krypton gas.

Zielflug [23.3K]

This problem could be solved through the Graham’s law of effusion (also known as law of diffusion). This law states that the ratio of the effusion rate of the first gas and effusion rate of the second gas is equivalent to the square root of the ratio of its molar mass. Thus the answer would be 0.1098.
