Answer:

KBr is limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of  KBr =4g

Mass of Cl₂ = 6 g

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2KBr + Cl₂      →    2KCl + Br₂

Number of moles of KBr:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4 g/ 119 gmol

Number of moles = 0.03 mol

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 6 g/ 70 gmol

Number of moles = 0.09 mol

Now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.

              KBr            :            KCl

                2              :              2

            0.03            :            0.03

             KBr            :              Br₂

                2             :               1

             0.03           :          1/2×0.03= 0.015

               Cl₂             :            KCl

                 1              :              2

            0.09            :           2/1×0.09 = 0.18

               Cl₂             :              Br₂

                1              :               1

             0.09           :            0.09

Less number of moles of product are formed by the KBr thus it will act as limiting reactant while Cl₂  is present in excess.

mojhsa [17]
Note: We must keep the units we use consistent. The Cp is given in cal/gC so we will use cal for energy, grams for mass and C for temperature.
1)
Heat supplied can be calculated using:
Q = mCpΔT; where m is the mass, Cp is the specific heat capacity and ΔT is the temperature change.
Q = 367 x 0.092 x (60 - 23)
Q = 125 Cal

2)
Using the same equation:
125 = 60 x 0.092 x (T - 23)
T = 45.6 C
