How many moles of pcl5 can be produced from 23.0 g of p4 (and excess cl2)?

1 answer:

3 0

The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows
P4 + 10Cl2 —> 4PCl5
P4 is the limiting reactant. Stoichiometry of P4 to PCl5 is 1:4
The mass of P4 reacted = 23.0 g
Number of P4 moles = 23.0 g/ 124 g/mol = 0.185 mol
According to the stoichiometry the number of PCl5 moles produced are 4 times the amount of P4 moles reacted
Therefore PCl5 moles = 0.185 x 4 = 0.74 mol

List at least two chemical reactions that resulted in a yellow, orange, or red precipitate. For these reactions, list the possib

Katarina [22]

1) 0.2M ferric nitrate is added gradually to 1M sodium hydroxide. In result, a red precipitate appears. The precipitate is ferric hydroxide.
2) 0.2M potassium chromate is added gradually to 0.05M lead acetate. in result, a yellow precipitate appears. The precipitate is called potassium acetate.
The common between the two is that the colors originated from one of the reactants.

How many grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150. liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0. °C? Group

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer:

474 grams of chlorine gas are present in a 150 liter cylinder of chlorine held at a pressure of 1.00 atm and 0 °C

Explanation:

An ideal gas is a theoretical gas that is considered to be composed of randomly moving point particles that do not interact with each other. Gases in general are ideal when they are at high temperatures and low pressures.

The pressure, P, the temperature, T, and the volume, V, of an ideal gas, are related by a simple formula called the ideal gas law:

P*V = n*R*T

where P is the gas pressure, V is the volume that occupies, T is its temperature, R is the ideal gas constant, and n is the number of moles of the gas.

In this case:
