Question

Germanium and chlorine react according to the following chemical equation:

Answer 1

The mass of GeCl4 that would be formed will be 1.51 g

Stoichiometric calculations

From the balanced equation of the reaction:

Ge (s) + 2Cl2 (g) →GeCl4

The mole ratio of Ge and Cl2 is 1:2.

Mole of 1.0 g Ge: 1/72.64

                               = 0.01377 mole

Mole of 1.0 g Cl2 = 1/71

                             = 0.01408 mole

Thus, Cl2 is limiting.

Mole ratio of Cl2 and GeCl4 = 2:1

Equivalent mole of GeCl4 = 0.01408/2

                                       = 0.0070 mole

Mass of 0.0070 mole GeCl4 = 0.0070 x 214.4

                                               = 1.51 g
