Answer:

First, write an equation for the reaction involved.

Fe + CuSO4 ---> FeSO4 + Cu

Now, calculate the no. of moles added in the reaction. (n.o.m. = mass /molar mass)

No. of moles of Fe added = 2 / 55.8

= 0.0358 mol

No. of moles of CuSO4 = 7 / (63.5 +32.1+16x4)

= 0.04386 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of Fe : CuSO4 = 1:1,

meaning 1 mole of Fe reacts with 1 mole of CuSO4.

It also indicates that the no. of moles reacted in Fe equals to the no. of moles reacted in CuSO4.

0.04386 > 0.0358

The no. of moles of CuSO4 is higher than that of Fe, meaning all moles of Fe will be reacted while not all CuSO4 reacts.

Hence Fe is the limiting reagent, and CuSO4 is in excess.

All 0.0358 moles of Fe reacts, meaning the no. of moles of CuSO4 left unreacted = 0.04386 - 0.0358

= 0.0080596mol

mass of CuSO4 unreacted = 0.0080596 x (63.5 +32.1+16x4)

= 1.28g

What volume is occupied by 8.7 g of chlorine gas, Cl2, at 23°C and 1.15 atm pressure
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

V = 5.17L

Explanation:

Mass of gas = 8.7g

T = 23°C = (23 + 273.15)K = 296.15K

P = 1.15 atm

V = ?

R = 0.082atm.L / mol.K

From ideal gas equation

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the gas

V = volume of the gas

n = no. Of moles

R = ideal gas constant

T = temperature of the gas

no of moles = mass / molar mass

Molar mass of Chlorine = 35.5g / mol

No. Of moles = 8.7 / 35.5

No. Of moles = 0.245 moles

PV = nRT

V = nRT / P

V = (0.245 * 0.082 * 296.15) / 1.15

V = 5.9496 / 1.15

V = 5.17L

The volume of the gas is 5.17L
