In this problem Al metal is a limiting reactant as it is present in less amount as compared to chlorine gas, Hence, controls the formation of ALCl3. So, the amount of AlCl3 produced is 40.05 grams. Solution is as follow,
Answer: You forgot to zero the balance
Explanation:
Answer:
A) SiO2 is the limiting reactant
B) Theoretical yield= 72333.3g
C) % yield =91.5%
Explanation:
SiO2(s) + 2C(s) --------------> Si(s) + 2CO(g)
n(SiO2)= 155000/60 = 2583.33 mols
n(C)= 79000/12= 3291.66 mols
a)SiO2 is the limiting reactant
According to the balanced reaction equation,
60g of SiO2 produced 28g of SiO2
155000g of SiO2 will produce 155000×28/60= 72333.3g
Therefore theoretical yield of Si= 72333.3g
% yield= 66200/72333.3×100/1 =91.5%
