Answer:

Grams of KCl produced = 7.60 g

Explanation:

The given reaction is:

2K + Cl2 → 2KCl

It is given that Cl2 is in excess which implies that potassium K is the limiting reagent

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

2 moles of K produces 2 moles of KCl i.e the molar ratio of K:KCl = 1:1

Moles(K)= \frac{Mass}{Atomic mass}=\frac{4.00g}{39.09g/mol}=0.102moles

Therefore, moles of KCl produced = 0.102

Mass(KCl)=moles*mol.wt = 0.102moles*74.55g/mol=7.60g

Answer:

42.65g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of K = 4g

Unknown: Mass of KCl

Solution:

  Complete equation of the reaction:

              2K + Cl₂ → 2KCl

To solve this problem, we know that the reactant in short supply is potassium K and this dictates the amount of products that would be formed. The chlorine gas is in excess and we can't use it to determine the amount of product that would form.

Now, we work from the known to the unknown. Since we know the mass of K given in the reaction, we can simply find the molar relationship between the reacting potassium and the product. We simply convert the mass to mole and compare to the product. From there we can find the mass of KCl that would be produced.

Calculating number of moles of K

      Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

        Number of moles of K =  \frac{4}{39} = 0.103mol

From the given reaction equation:

   2 moles of K will produce 2 moles of KCl

 Therefore 0.103mol of K will produce 0.103mol of KCl

To find the mass of KCl produced,

   Mass of KCl = number of moles of KCl x molar mass

Molar mass of KCl = 39 + 35.5 = 74.5gmol⁻¹

Mass of KCl = 0.103 x 74.5 = 42.65g

KIM [24]

The tire pressure is the sum of gauge pressure and the standard pressure of atmospheric pressure

We know that the standard air pressure of surrounding = 101.325 kPa

The given gauge pressure = 413 kPascal

So the tire pressure =  101.325 kPa + 413 = 514.325 K Pa

We can also convert the given pascals to atmosphere or Torr or mmHg or bar

Draw the major monobromination product formed by heating the following alkane with bromine.
yawa3891 [41]
A monobromination reaction of an alkane involves an alkane and bromine. The position of the hydrogen atom that will be substituted by the bromine free radical will depend on the order of the alkane. The bromine will attach to the carbon that has the most substituents.

At STP, the volume of a gas represents the number of particles.That said, from the chemical reaction one mole of oxygen reacts with two moles of co to produce the product, CO2At STP, 3 moles of Oxygen will produce 6 moles of CO2. Hence It follows that at standard temperature and pressure, 6.0 L of CO2 will be produced. Option D.
