a)Cl₂ is the limiting reaction

b) Maximum amount of AlCl₃ = 0.45g

Explanation:

2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)

54g 212.72g 266.7g

0.64g 0.36

a) 54g Al ------------ 212.72g

0.64g ------------- ?

mass of cl₂ required

$= \frac{0.64 \times 212.72 }{54} \\\\= 2.52g$

we have 0.36g Cl₂, so Cl₂ is the limiting reaction

212.72g Cl₂---------- 266.7g AlCl₃

0.36g Cl₂ ----------- ?

mass of AlCl₃ =

$\frac{0.36 \times 266.7 }{212.72} \\\\= 0.45g$

Maximum amount of AlCl₃ = 0.45g

a) Limiting reactant: Cl₂

b) 0.45 g

Explanation:

(a) The balanced equation is:

2Al(s) + 3Cl₂(g) ⇆ 2AlCl₃(s) (1)

0.64g 0.36g

To find the limiting reactant we need to calculate the number of moles of Al and Cl₂:

$\eta_{Al} = \frac{m}{M}$

where m: is the mass and M: is the molar mass

$\eta_{Al} = \frac{0.64}{27 g/mol} = 0.024 moles$

Similarly, for Cl₂ we have:

$\eta_{Cl_{2}} = \frac{m}{M} = \frac{0.36 g}{(35.45 g/mol)*2} = 5.07 \cdot 10^{-3} moles$

From equation (1) we have that 2 moles of Al reacts with 3 moles of Cl₂, hence, we can find the number of moles of Al that reacts with Cl₂ as follows:

2 moles Al → 3 moles Cl₂

0.024 moles Al → x

$x = \frac{0.024 moles Al*3 moles Cl_{2}}{2 moles Al} = 0.036 moles Cl_{2}$

Hence, we need 0.036 moles of Cl₂ to react with Al, and we have 5.07x10⁻³ moles, so, the limiting reactive is Cl₂ since Al is in excess.

(b) The maximum amount of AlCl₃ in grams that can be produced can be calculated using the limiting reactant, that is to say, Cl₂:

From equation (1) we have that 3 moles of Cl₂ produces 2 moles of AlCl₃, therefore the moles of AlCl₃ are:

$\eta_{AlCl_{3}} = \frac{2 moles AlCl_{3}*5.07 \cdot 10^{-3} moles Cl_{2}}{3 moles Cl_{2}} = 3.38 \cdot 10^{-3} moles$

Finally, the mass of AlCl₃ is:

$m = mol*M = 3.38 \cdot 10^{-3} moles*133.5g/mol = 0.45 g$

Therefore, the maximum amount of AlCl₃ that can be produced is 0.45 g.

I hope it helps you!

explanation:

each principal energy level above the first contains one s orbital and three p orbitals. a set of three p orbitals, called the p sublevel, can hold a maximum of six electrons. therefore, the second level can contain a maximum of eight electrons - that is, two in the s orbital and 6 in the three p orbitals.
