Answer:

Charge on X = (+ 2)

Explanation:

Charge on one Cl = -1

So Charge on two Cl = -2

The molecule = Neutral = 0 charge

So, to make total charge = 0 , the X should have +2 charge

XCl2 = +2 -2 = 0

X = +2

Alkaline earth metals(Be , Mg , Ca , Sr) form such type of compounds.

Example :

$MgCl_{2}$

$CaCl_{2}$

During the chemical reaction given below 21.71 grams of each reagent were allowed to react. Determine how many grams of the exce

swat32

Answer: 16.32 g of $O_2$ as excess reagent are left.

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

$\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}$

$\text{Moles of} SO_2=\frac{21.71g}{64g/mol}=0.34mol$

$\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{21.71g}{32g/mol}=0.68mol$

$2SO_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2SO_3(g)$

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of $SO_2$ require = 1 mole of $O_2$

Thus 0.34 moles of $SO_2$ will require= $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.34=0.17moles$ of $O_2$

Thus $SO_2$ is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product and $O_2$ is the excess reagent.

Moles of $O_2$ left = (0.68-0.17) mol = 0.51 mol

Mass of $O_2=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.51moles\times 32g/mol=16.32g$

Thus 16.32 g of $O_2$ as excess reagent are left.
