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

What is unique about the moons that orbit Jupiter? (select all that apply)
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

Some of the orbits are nearly circular, while the moons farthest from Jupiter have more irregular orbits. The outer moon's orbit in the opposite direction in which Jupiter spins, which is unusual and indicates the moons were asteroids that were sucked into Jupiter's orbit after the initial system was formed.
