Consider the reaction of diboron trioxide with carbon and chlorine. B2O3 (s) + 3C (s) + 3Cl2 (g) 2BCl3 (g) + 3CO (g) Determine t

he limiting reactant in a mixture containing 139 g of B2O3, 87.8 g of C, and 650 g of Cl2. Calculate the maximum mass (in grams) of boron trichloride, BCl3, that can be produced in the reaction. The limiting reactant is: B2O3 Cl2 C Amount of BCl3 formed = g

Answer:

Limiting reactant = B2O3

Amount of BCl3 formed = 468 g

Explanation:

The given reaction is:

B2O3 (s) + 3C (s) + 3Cl2 (g) \rightarrow 2BCl3 (g) + 3CO (g)

In order to identify the limiting reagent calculate the moles of B2O3, C and Cl2. The reagent with the lowest moles is the limiting reactant

Moles(B2O3)=\frac{Mass(B2O3)}{Mol.wt(B2O3)}=\frac{139g}{69.6g/mol}=1.997moles

Moles(C)=\frac{Mass(C)}{At.wt(C)}=\frac{87.8g}{12g/mol}=7.317moles

Moles(Cl2)=\frac{Mass(Cl2)}{Mol.wt(Cl2)}=\frac{650g}{70.9g/mol}=9.168moles

Since the moles of B2O3 < C < Cl2, the limiting reactant is B2O3

Based on the reaction stoichiometry:

1 mole of B2O3 produces 2 moles of BCl3

Hence, the number of moles of BCl3 produced under the experimental conditions = 2*1.997=3.994 moles

Mass(BCl3)= Moles* Mol.wt = 3.994 moles*117.17g/mol = 468 g

A dark purple liquid is diluted by adding water.
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: The process is diffusion.

Explanation:

a dark liquid will have the highest concentration of dark purple atoms/molecules so it gives a concentrated colour.

when water is added to it, the colourless water molecules fill up the gaps between the purple particles and so their colour fades and becomes lighter and lighter as we add more water. see the image attached where imagine the red particles are water and the blue particles are purple particles. thats why the colour fades.

Which compounds are bases in aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory?.
Fittoniya [83]

Ammonia compounds are bases in aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory.

<h3>What are bases?</h3>

A base is a substance that can neutralize the acid by reacting with hydrogen ions.

Ammonia compounds are based on an aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory because the water molecule donates a hydrogen ion to the ammonia, it is the Brønsted-Lowry acid, while the ammonia molecule which accepts the hydrogen ion is the Brønsted-Lowry base. Thus, ammonia acts as a base in both the Arrhenius sense and the Brønsted-Lowry sense.

Hence, ammonia compounds are based on an aqueous solution according to brønsted–lowry theory.

Sladkaya [172]
<span>We are given the initial amount of 1 million carbon-14 atoms and the final amount which is 1/16 of the current atmospheric 14C levels. Also, the half life of carbon is </span>5,750 years. WE can use the decay formula

Aₓ = A₀e^-(ln2/t1/2)t
1,000,000(1/16) = (1,000,000)e^-(ln2/5750)t
t = 23,000 years
