Answer:
709 g
Step-by-step explanation:
a) Balanced equation
Normally, we would need a balanced chemical equation.
However, we can get by with a partial equation, as log as carbon atoms are balanced.
We know we will need an equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s <em>gather all the information</em> in one place.
M_r: 30.07 236.74
C₂H₆ + … ⟶ C₂Cl₆ + …
m/g: 90.0
(i) Calculate the moles of C₂H₆
n = 90.0 g C₂H₆ × (1 mol C₂H₆ /30.07 g C₂H₆)
= 2.993 mol C₂H₆
(ii) Calculate the moles of C₂Cl₆
The molar ratio is (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)
n = 2.993 mol C₂H₆ × (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)
= 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆
(iii) Calculate the mass of C₂Cl₆
m = 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆ × (236.74 g C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂Cl₆)
m = 709 g C₂Cl₆
The reaction produces 709 g C₂Cl₆.
