Answer:
P is the limiting reagent
Explanation:
P = phosphorus = 30.97g/mol
Cl2 = Chlorine = 70.91g/mol
PCl3 = Phosphorus Trichloride = 137.33g/mol
P + Cl2 = PCl3
Left Side
P = 1
Cl = 2
Right Side
P = 1
Cl = 3
So equation needs to be balanced first
2P + 3Cl = 2PCl3
Left Side
P = 2
Cl = 6
Right Side
P = 2
Cl = 6
That's better.
Ok so we have 12.39g of P so we have 0.4 moles of it
We then have 52.54g of Cl so we have 0.74 moles of it
For every P we need 1.5 Cl so we have an excess of Cl
Answer:
(a) The arrangement of metals in a vertical column in the order of decreasing reactivities is called reactivity series. The reactivity series follows the order:
2 in front of H2. Technically nothing in front of O2 otherwise put a 1 then a 2 in front of H2O
2H20 + 1O2 —— > 2H2O
The answer is 0.001515, I hope this helps!
