B. Most rocks are composed of single mineral
I will help you with answering this question.
Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.
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
