The noble gases AKA the column with full outermost valence shells. (Group 18)
The balanced equation for the above reaction is
2Al + 3CuCl₂ --> 2AlCl₃ + 3Cu
stoichiometry of Al to CuCl₂ is 2:3
limiting reactant is when the reactant is fully consumed in the reaction therefore amount of product formed depends on amount of limiting reactant present.
number of Al moles - 0.5 g / 27 g/mol = 0.019 mol
number of CuCl₂ moles - 3.5 g / 134.5 g/mol = 0.026 mol
if Al is the limiting reactant
if 2 mol of Al reacts with 3 mol of CuCl₂
then 0.019 mol of Al reacts with - 3/2 x 0.019 = 0.029 mol of CuCl₂
but only 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ is present
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant
and 0.026 mol of CuCl₂ reacts with - 0.026/3 x 2 = 0.017 mol of Al is required
but 0.019 mol of Al is present
therefore CuCl₂ is the limiting reactant and Al is in excess
Answer:
Group 18, also known as the Noble Gasses
Explanation:
Atoms strive for full stability by gaining or losing electrons to get 8 valence electrons in their valence shell, but Group 18 already has 8 electrons in their valence shell, and are therefore already stable in their ground state.
Answer:
Bi (Bismuth)
Ag (Silver)
Li (Lithium)
Explanation:
Xe (Xenon) and I (Iodine) are non-metals. They cannot from a metallic bond because metallic bonds are bonds between metals only.
Answer: In simplest case mass of reactants is same as mass of products.
Without thinking this question deeper, mass of ZnCl2 would be 49, but..
Explanation: Reaction should be Zn + 2 HCl ⇒ ZnCl2 + H2
Amount of zinc is 5 g / 65,38 g/mol = 0,076476 mol and amount
of Hydrogen Chloride is 50 g / 36.458 g/mol = 1,371 mol.
Althought HCl is needed 0.152 moles, zinc is an limiting reactant.
So it is possible to produce only 0.076476 mol Hydrogen and its mass
is 0.154 g. Mass of ZnCl2 would be 0.076476 mol · (65.38 + 2·35.45) =
10.42 g
