<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

Chemical reactions are only able to occur in one direction. Chemical reactions are only able to occur in one direction. True Fal
blagie [28]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

While chemical reactions can proceed in the forward direction , they can in fact also proceed in the backward direction too. The direction they would proceed depends majorly on the state of chemical equilibrium at that particular time for that particular chemical reaction.

It should be known that when a chemical reaction proceeds in the forward way, more products are formed and the reactants are used up. If however, the chemical reaction proceed in the backward way, more reactants are formed and the products are used up.

A practical example is in the case of an exothermic reaction. This is one in which heat is released to the surroundings as a result of the reactants being at a higer energy level compared to the product. Now, depending on the prevailing equilibrium constraint, the reaction could proceed forward or backward.

If for example, the temperature is decreased, this is a constraint being applied to the equilibrium state. The chemical reaction would take a shift and will favor the forward reaction and more of the products will be formed. And also of the temperature is increased, it is the backward reaction that is favored

According to the kinetic molecular theory, which statement describes an ideal gas?
djverab [1.8K]
The correct answer is option 3. There are no attractive forces between the gas particles in an ideal gas. For an ideal gas to be achieved, the molecules are far from each other as possible where no attraction or collisions happen with each molecule.
