Answer:

atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Explanation:

Let y be the atomic mass of X

Molar mass of O_2 is = 2×16 = 32 g / mol

X + O2 -----> XO_2

According to the equation ,

y g of X reacts with 32 g of O_2

24 g of X reacts with Z g of O_2

Z = ( 32×24) / y

But given that 24.0 g of X exactly reacts with 16.0 g of O_2

So Z = 16.0

⇒ (32×24) / y = 16.0

⇒ y = (32×24) / 16

y= 48.0

So atomic mass of X is 48.0 amu

Enter your answer in the provided box. Calculate the number of moles of CrCl, that could be produced from 49.4 g Cr202 according
Mrrafil [7]

Answer:

0.4694 moles of CrCl₃

Explanation:

The balanced equation is:

Cr₂O₃(s) + 3CCl₄(l) → 2CrCl₃(s) + 3COCl₂(aq)

The stoichiometry of the equation is how much moles of the substances must react to form the products, and it's represented by the coefficients of the balanced equation. So, 1 mol of Cr₂O₃ must react with 3 moles of CCl₄ to form 2 moles of CrCl₃ and 3 moles of COCl₂.

The stoichiometry calculus must be on a moles basis. The compounds of interest are Cr₂O₃ and CrCl₃. The molar masses of the elements are:

MCr = 52 g/mol

MCl = 35.5 g/mol

MO = 16 g/mol

So, the molar mass of the Cr₂O₃ is = 2x52 + 3x35.5 = 210.5 g/mol.

The number of moles is the mass divided by the molar mass, so:

n = 49.4/210.5 = 0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃.

For the stoichiometry:

1 mol of Cr₂O₃ ------------------- 2 moles of CrCl₃

0.2347 mol of Cr₂O₃----------- x

By a simple direct three rule:

x = 0.4694 moles of CrCl₃
