Question

Consider the unbalanced reaction Ti(s) + Cl2(g) --> TiCl4(s). When 4.21 g of Ti react with 15.4 g of Cl2, 16.2 g of CCl4 are obtained. The theoretical yield of TiCl4 is ___, the limiting reactant is ____ and the percent yield is ____.

Answer 1

Answer:

Theoretical yield: 16.68g Limiting reactant: Ti  %yield=97.12%

Explanation:

Balanced reaction : Ti(s) +2 Cl2 (g) -> TiCl4(s)

g of substance = # of mole x molar mass

# of mole= g of substance/molar mass

%yield= actual yield x100/ theoretical yield

Ti is limiting reactant since it has the smallest amount of moles- 0.08795 causing it to run out first
