The limiting reactant is chlorine (Cl2).

<u>Explanation</u>:

Limiting reactant is the amount of product formed which gets limited by the reagent without continuing it.

2 Al + 3 Cl2 ==> 2 AlCl3 represents the balanced equation.

Number of moles Al present = 34 g Al x 1 mole Al / 26.98 g

= 1.260 g moles of Al

Number of moles Cl2 present = 39 g Cl2 x 1 mole Cl2 / 35.45 g

= 1.10 g moles of Cl2

Dividing each reactant by it's coefficient in the balanced equation obtains:

1.260 moles Al / 2 = 0.63 g moles of Al

1.11 moles Cl2 / 3 = 0.36 g moles of Cl2

The reactant which produces a lesser amount of product is called as limiting reactant.

Here the Limiting reactant is Cl2.

ziro4ka [17]

Answer:

Torrey's neighbour is incorrect because increase in kinetic energy is proportional to velocity. If the velocity increases so will the object's kinetic energy. Because the mass is constant, if the velocity increases, so does the kinetic energy.

Why should you always condition a buret before running a titration?.

Alex Ar [27]

Answer:

Conditioning two or three times will insure that the concentration of titrant is not changed by a stray drop of water.

Explanation:

"Check the tip of the buret for an air bubble. To remove an air bubble, whack the side of the buret tip while solution is flowing".

Svet_ta [14]

Statement 2 is correct.
solids moving into solution is a physical change as the core structure of the molecules remain the same. evaporation of water and crystallization of salt are both physical changes as well.
The water does not change it's H2O chemical makeup because salt was dissolved into it.

The following reaction, catalyzed by iridium, is endothermic at 700 K: CaO(s) + CH4(g) + 2H2O (g) → CaCO3 (s) + 4H2 (g) For the

arsen [322]

Answer:

A. Increasing the temperature will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

B. More CaCo3 will be formed.

C. CaCo3 will decrease and more react ants formed.

D. Less CaCo3 will be formed.

E. Iridium is a catalyst so there is no effect

Explanation:

A. Temperature will increase because it's an endothermic reaction.

B. Adding Cao will favor forward reaction and more CaCo3 formed.

C. Removing methane, more react ants are formed and CaCo3 decreases.

D. Irridi is a catalyst so it has no effect on the CaCo3 but only speeds its rate of reaction.
