Answer:
The balanced chemical equation: 2 Al + 3Cl2→ 2 AlCl3
Mole-mole relationship: 2 moles Al + 3 moles Cl2→ 2 moles AlCl3
Given: 0.600 moleCl2; 0.500 mole Al
Required: Excess reactant___; Number of moles of AlCl3 produced__
Solution: Use dimensional analysis using the mole-mole rel
0.600 mole Cl2 * 2 moles Al/3 moles Cl2 = 0.4 mole Al
0.5 mole Al* 3 moles Cl2/2 moles Al = 0.75 mole Cl2
Based on the given:
0.6mole Cl2 + 0.4 mole Al ( this is possible based on the given)
0.5mole Al + 0.75 mole Cl2 (this is not possible because the given is only 0.600 mole of Cl 2)
Answer: Excess reactant is Al; Limiting reactant is Cl2
The amount of AlCl3 produced = 0.6 mole Cl2 + 0.4 mole Al = 1.0 mole AlCl3
