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.

How did electrons gain energy in order to jump to higher energy levels?
Alla [95]

Answer: An electron will jump to a higher energy level when excited by an external energy gain such as a large heat increase or the presence of an electrical field, or collision with another electron.

Question 6: Iron metal and chlorine gas react to form iron (III) chloride: 2 Fe(s) + 3 Cl2 (g) → 2 FeCl3 (s)
Bas_tet [7]

10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

What ois Theoretical yield ?

The quantity of a product obtained from a reaction is expressed in terms of the yield of the reaction.

The amount of product predicted by stoichiometry is called the theoretical yield, whereas the amount obtained actually is called the actual yield.

  • As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe consumes 213 gm of Cl₂ to produce 2FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will consumes = 213 / 111.68 x 10 = 19 gm Cl₂

  • As 2 moles (111.68 g) of Fe produces 2 mole (324 gm) of FeCl₃

Therefore ,

10 gm of Fe will produces = 324 / 111.68 x 10 = 29 gm FeCl₃

Hence , 10 gm of Fe will consumes 19 gm Cl₂ and will produces 29 gm FeCl₃.

How many bacteria can fit into an animal cell
melisa1 [442]
The size of most eukaryotic animal cells range from 1 - 30 micrometers while the size of, let's say coccus bacteria is between 0.5 - 1.0 micrometers. So, if the largest animal cell is filled with the largest coccus bacteria, we can say that 30 bacteria can fit inside.
