According to the reaction below, how many grams of KCl (potassium chloride) can be formed from 70.90 g of chlorine with excess potassium? 2K + Cl2 ---> 2 KCl

149.1 g KCl

Explanation:

2 K  +  Cl₂  ⇒  2 KCl

This is your chemical equation.  Use this equation to figure out the stoichiometry between Cl₂ and KCl.  According to the equation, for every 2 moles of KCl, you need 1 mole of Cl₂, making the ratio between KCl and Cl₂ 2/1.

First, convert grams of Cl₂ to moles of Cl₂.  The molar mass is 70.906 g/mol.

(70.90 g Cl₂)/(70.906 g/mol) = 0.9999 mol Cl₂

Convert moles of Cl₂ to moles of KCl using the stoichiometric relationship.

(0.9999 mol Cl₂) × (2 mol KCl/1 mol Cl₂) = 1.9998 mol KCl

Convert moles of KCl to grams of KCl.  The molar mass is 74.55 g/mol.

(1.998 mol KCl) × (74.55 g/mol KCl) = 149.1 g KCl

You will produce 149.1 g KCl.

the leaf is an organ of a typical plant, and the main functions are to complete photosynthesis and allow the plant to exchange gas, just like how we have the respiratory system. leaves have the stomata, which collects maintains co2 and o2 levels. this is necessary for cell metabolism. the leaf also collects sunlight using chloroplasts. succinctly, leaves own a pivotal role in sustaining plant life.
