If you had excess aluminum, how many moles of aluminum chloride could be produced from 21.0 g of chlorine gas, cl2?

AleksandrR [38]3 years ago

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>

What is the molar mass, in grams, of a mole of an element equal to?
prohojiy [21]
Technically molar mass cannot be in grams, it is in grams per mole. and it refers to a specific number of molecules of a substance, therefore substances have different molar masses because the elements have different weights. for example having 10 water molecules would be a lot heavier than having 10 air molecules

Mrac [35]

Answer:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓

Explanation:

We identify the reactants:

CuBr₂ and Pb(CH₃COO)₂

The products will be: Cu(CH₃COO)₂ and PbBr₂

You may know these information:

Salts from acetate are soluble.

Bromide can make solid salts with these cations: Ag⁺, Pb²⁺, Hg₂²⁺, Cu⁺

PbBr₂ is formed, so this will be our precipitate

The equation is:

CuBr₂(aq) + Pb(CH₃COO)₂(aq) → Cu(CH₃COO)₂(aq) + PbBr₂ (s)↓
