Answer:

Copper (II) chloride.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, considering the described reaction which is also given as:

2Al + 3CuCl_2 \rightarrow 2AlCl_3 + 3Cu

For us to identify the limiting reactant we first compute the available moles of aluminium:

n_{Al}=512gAl*\frac{1molAl}{27gAl}=19.0molAl

Next, we compute the consumed moles of aluminium by the 1147 grams of copper (II) chloride by using their 2:3 molar ratio:

n_{Al}^{consumed}=1147gCuCl_2*\frac{1molCuCl_2}{134.45gCuCl_2}*\frac{2molAl}{3molCuCl_2}  =5.69molAl

Thereby, we can infer aluminium is in excess since less moles are consumed than available whereas the copper (II) chloride is the limiting reactant.

Best regards.

lara [203]

Answer:

bonding molecular orbital is lower in energy

antibonding molecular orbital is higher in energy

Explanation:

Electrons in bonding molecular orbitals help to hold the positively charged nuclei together, and they are always lower in energy than the original atomic orbitals.

Electrons in antibonding molecular orbitals are primarily located outside the internuclear region, leading to increased repulsions between the positively charged nuclei. They are always higher in energy than the parent atomic orbitals.

When placed in a freezer, liquid water turns into solid ice. What best describes this change?
skelet666 [1.2K]

Answer:

The water molecules slow down, stronger attractions form between them, and the molecules are pulled closer together.

Explanation:

In solids the packing of the particles is closer and tighter thus increasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes solids rigid with a definite shape, size and volume. On the other hand in liquids the packing of the particles is loose thus decreasing the intermolecular attraction. This makes liquids able to flow, and takes the shape and volume of the container in which they are placed.

How would you seprate a mixture of sand and salt?
lys-0071 [83]
First, you mix the salt and sand with water, so the salt dissolves. Next, you filter the sand out, so you have the slat water and sand separated. Then, you evaporate the water, leaving the salt behind.
