The balanced equation for the above reaction is;
2K + Cl₂ ---> 2KCl
Stoichiomtery of K to KCl is 2:2
Potassium is the limiting reactant which is fully consumed in the reaction. The amount of product formed depends on amount of limits reactant present.
Number of moles of K reacted - 6.75 g/ 39 g/mol = 0.17 mol
Therefore number of KCl moles formed - 0.17 mol
Mass of KCl formed - 0.17 mol x 74.5 g/mol = 12.67 g
Answer:
the answer is electrons
Explanation:
electrons are responsible for the chemical bonding.
