Aluminum chloride, AlCl3, is an inexpensive reagent used in many industrial processes. It is made by treating scrap aluminum wit

h chlorine according to the following equation. Please balance the equation.
__2_ Al (s) + 3___ Cl2(g) _2___ AlCl3(s)
If you start with 3.11 g of Al and 5.32 g of Cl2, which reagent is limiting? How many grams of AlCl3 can be produced? During an experiment you obtained 5.57 g of AlCl3, what was your percent yield?

Answer:

83.8%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is;

2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)

Now we have to obtain the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of AlCl3

Amount of Al = 3.11g/27 g/mol = 0.115 moles

If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of  AlCl3

Then 0.115 moles of Al yields 0.115 moles of  AlCl3

For Cl2

Amount of Cl2 = 5.32 g/71 g/mol= 0.075 moles

If 3 moles of Cl2 yields 2 moles of  AlCl3

0.075 moles of Cl2 yields 0.075   * 2/3 = 0.05 moles of  AlCl3

Hence Cl2 is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of  AlCl3 = 0.05 moles of  AlCl3 * 133g/mol = 6.65 g

%yield = actual yield /theoretical yield * 100

%yield = 5.57 g/6.65 g * 100

%yield = 83.8%

A 118-ml flask is evacuated and found to have a mass of 97.129 g. when the flask is filled with 768 torr of helium gas at 35 ?c,
Inessa05 [86]
The full question asks to decide whether the gas was a specific gas. That part is missing in your question. You need to decide whether the gas in the flask is pure helium.

To decide it you can find the molar mass of the gas in the flask, using the ideal gas equation pV = nRT, and then compare with the molar mass of the He.

From pV = nRT you can find n, after that using the mass of gass in the flask you use MM = mass/moles.

1) From pV = nRT, n = pV / RT

Data:
V = 118 ml = 0.118 liter
R = 0.082 atm*liter/mol*K
p = 768 torr * 1 atm / 760 torr = 1.0105 atm
T = 35 + 273.15 = 308.15 K

n = 1.015 atm * 0.118 liter / [ 0.082 atm*liter/K*mol  * 308.15K] =0.00472 mol

mass of gas = mass of the fask with the gas - mass of the flasl evacuated = 97.171 g - 97.129 g = 0.042

=> MM =  mass/n = 0.042 / 0.00472 = 8.90 g/mol

Now from a periodic table or a table you get that the molar mass of He is 4g/mol

So the numbers say that this gas is not pure helium , because its molar mass is more than double of the molar mass of helium gas.
