Answer : The maximum mass of aluminium chloride formed can be 28.8 grams.

Solution : Given,

Mass of Al = 18.0 g

Mass of Cl_2 = 23.0 g

Molar mass of Al = 27 g/mole

Molar mass of Cl_2 = 71 g/mole

Molar mass of AlCl_3 = 133.5 g/mole

First we have to calculate the moles of Al and Cl_2.

\text{ Moles of }Al=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Al}{\text{ Molar mass of }Al}=\frac{18.0g}{27g/mole}=0.667moles

\text{ Moles of }Cl_2=\frac{\text{ Mass of }Cl_2}{\text{ Molar mass of }Cl_2}=\frac{23.0g}{71g/mole}=0.324moles

Now we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.

The balanced chemical reaction is,

2Al+3Cl_2\rightarrow 2AlCl_3

From the balanced reaction we conclude that

As, 3 mole of Cl_2 react with 2 mole of Al

So, 0.324 moles of Cl_2 react with \frac{0.324}{3}\times 2=0.216 moles of Al

From this we conclude that, Al is an excess reagent because the given moles are greater than the required moles and Cl_2 is a limiting reagent and it limits the formation of product.

Now we have to calculate the moles of AlCl_3

From the reaction, we conclude that

As, 3 mole of Cl_2 react to give 2 mole of AlCl_3

So, 0.324 moles of Cl_2 react to give \frac{0.324}{3}\times 2=0.216 moles of AlCl_3

Now we have to calculate the mass of AlCl_3

\text{ Mass of }AlCl_3=\text{ Moles of }AlCl_3\times \text{ Molar mass of }AlCl_3

\text{ Mass of }AlCl_3=(0.216moles)\times (133.5g/mole)=28.8g

Therefore, the maximum mass of aluminium chloride formed can be 28.8 grams.

Answer:

6. 7870 kg/m³ (3 s.f.)

7. 33.4 g (3 s.f.)

8. 12600 kg/m³ (3 s.f.)

Explanation:

6. The SI unit for density is kg/m³. Thus convert the mass to Kg and volume to m³ first.

1 kg= 1000g

1m³= 1 ×10⁶ cm³

Mass of iron bar

= 64.2g

= 64.2 ÷1000 kg

= 0.0642 kg

Volume of iron bar

= 8.16 cm³

= 8.16 ÷ 10⁶

= 8.16 \times 10^{ - 6} \:  kg

\boxed{density =  \frac{mass}{volume} }

Density of iron bar

=  \frac{0.0642}{8.16 \times 10^{ - 6} }

= 7870 kg/m³ (3 s.f.)

7.

\boxed{mass = density \:  \times volume}

Mass

= 1.16 ×28.8

= 33.408 g

= 33.4 g (3 s.f.)

8. Volume of brick

= 12 cm³

= 12  \times  10^{ - 6}  \: m^{3}  \\  = 1.2 \times 10^{ - 5}  \: m ^{3}

Mass of brick

= 151 g

= 151 ÷ 1000 kg

= 0.151 kg

Density of brick

= mass ÷ volume

=  \frac{0.151} {1.25 \times 10^{ - 5} }  \\  = 12600 \: kg/ {m}^{3}

(3 s.f.)
