Question

Interpret the following equation for a chemical reaction using the coefficients given: CO(g) Cl2(g) COCl2(g) On the particulate level: _________ of CO(g) reacts with _________ of Cl2(g) to form _________ of COCl2(g). On the molar level: _________ of CO(g) reacts with _________ of Cl2(g) to form _________ of COCl2(g).

Answer 1

Answer:

On the particulate level: 6.02 * 10²³ particles of CO(g) reacts with 6.02 * 10²³ particles of Cl₂(g) to form 6.02 * 10²³ particles of COCl2(g).

On the molar level: 1 mole of CO(g) reacts with 1 mole of Cl2(g) to form 1 mole of COCl₂(g).

Explanation:

The particulate level refers to the microscopic or atomic level of substances. It also involves the ions, protons, neutrons and molecules present in substances.

The molar level refers to the quantitative measure of substances in terms of the mole, where a mole represents the amount of substances containing the Avogadro number of particles which is equal to 6.02 * 10³ particles.

Equation of the reaction: CO(g) + Cl₂(g) ----> COCl₂(g)

From the equation above, I mole of CO gas reacts with 1 mole of Cl₂ gas to produce 1 mole of COCl₂ gas.

Since 1 mole of a substance contains 6.02 * 10²³ particles, on a particulate level, 6.02 * 10²³ particles of CO gas reacts with 6.02 * 10²³ particles of Cl₂ gas to produce 6.02 * 10²³ particles of COCl₂ gas.
