Its doesn't dissolve in water!
Answer:
65.08 g.
Explanation:
- For the reaction, the balanced equation is:
<em>2AlCl₃ + 3Br₂ → 2AlBr₃ + 3Cl₂,</em>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with 3.0 mole of Br₂ to produce 2.0 mole of AlBr₃ and 3.0 mole of Cl₂.
- Firstly, we need to calculate the no. of moles of 36.2 grams of AlCl₃:
<em>n = mass/molar mass</em> = (36.2 g)/(133.34 g/mol) = <em>0.2715 mol.</em>
<u><em>Using cross multiplication:</em></u>
2.0 mole of AlCl₃ reacts with → 3.0 mole of Br₂, from the stichiometry.
0.2715 mol of AlCl₃ reacts with → ??? mole of Br₂.
∴ The no. of moles of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = (0.2715 mol)(3.0 mole)/(2.0 mole) = 0.4072 mol.
<em>∴ The mass of Br₂ reacts completely with 0.2715 mol (36.2 g) of AlCl₃ = no. of moles of Br₂ x molar mass</em> = (0.4072 mol)(159.808 g/mol
) = <em>65.08 g.</em>
Rutherford's model shows that an atom is mostly empty space, with electrons orbiting a fixed, positively charged nucleus in set, predictable paths. ... It was after this that Rutherford began developing his model of the atom.
