<u>Answer:</u> The limiting reagent is iron (II) chloride and the mass of sodium chloride formed is 21.2 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For iron (II) chloride:</u>

Given mass of iron (II) chloride = 23 g

Molar mass of iron (II) chloride = 126.8 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron (II) chloride}=\frac{23g}{126.8g/mol}=0.181mol

  • <u>For sodium phosphate:</u>

Given mass of sodium phosphate = 41 g

Molar mass of sodium phosphate = 164 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of sodium phosphate}=\frac{41g}{164g/mol}=0.25mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of iron (II) chloride and sodium phosphate follows:

3FeCl_2+2Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 6NaCl+Fe_3(PO_4)_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of iron (II) chloride reacts with 2 moles of sodium phosphate

So, 0.181 moles of iron (II) chloride will react with = \frac{2}{3}\times 0.181=0.1206mol of sodium phosphate

As, given amount of sodium phosphate  is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron (II) chloride is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of iron (II) chloride produces 6 mole of sodium chloride.

So, 0.181 moles of iron (II) chloride will produce = \frac{6}{3}\times 0.181=0.362moles of sodium chloride.

Now, calculating the mass of sodium chloride from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of sodium chloride = 58.5 g/mol

Moles of sodium chloride = 0.362 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.362mol=\frac{\text{Mass of sodium chloride}}{58.5g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of sodium chloride}=(0.362mol\times 58.5g/mol)=21.2g

Hence, the limiting reagent is iron (II) chloride and the mass of sodium chloride formed is 21.2 grams

Brut [27]

<em>List of metal or alloy that is best-suited include :</em>

<em>1) Block of an </em><em>internal combustion </em><em>engine is made of grey cast </em><em>iron </em><em>because it is </em><em>ductile </em><em>and hard enough to bear the loads.</em>

<em>2) Steam heat exchanger is made up of </em><em>stainless steel </em><em>material as it has high resistance to </em><em>corrosion </em><em>and has the capacity to bear high-</em><em>temperature </em><em>differences.</em>

<em>3) For jet engine </em><em>turbofan blades</em><em>, titanium alloys are being used because they can able to bear high pressure and high energy loads.</em>

<em>4) Tool </em><em>steel </em><em>is used to make drill bit material as it has high </em><em>tensile </em><em>and point strength.</em>

<em>5) </em><em>Aluminum alloys </em><em>are used for </em><em>cryogenic </em><em>applications as it is the best suited for work at low </em><em>temperatures</em><em>.</em>

Alloy, a metallic substance composed of two or more elements, as both a compound or a solution. The components of alloys are ordinarily themselves metals, though carbon, a nonmetal, is an essential constituent of metal.

Alloys, in trendy, are more potent and harder, less malleable, much less ductile, and greater corrosion-resistant than the alloy's predominant metallic.

An alloy is created with the aid of mixing metallic with another issue, both any other metal or a nonmetal substance. Metallic alloys are commonly made by means of melting the substances, mixing them collectively, after which letting them cool to room temperature, ensuing in a strong material.
