The molecule CO2 have 2 lone pairs located in the oxygen atoms. It has two double bonds also connecting carbon atom to the two oxygen atoms. It does obey the octet rule so the atoms need 8 electrons in each of them that is why electrons are shared.

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

Sholpan [36]

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

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