PCI.
Transcribed Image Text:3. Fifty grams of Chlorine reacts completely with Phosphorus obtaining ninety grams of the product. P +C12, PCI.
Step 2
Recall the reaction,
P + Cl
PCI3
----->
mass of Cl2 = 50g,
molar mass of Cl2=70.90 g mol1
mass of PCI3 = 90 g
Molar mass of PC|3= 137.33 g mol--
Step 3
A) Reaction,
P + Cl2
PCI3
----->
Balanced reaction,
2P + 3C12
-----> 2PCI3
B) In this question, only mass of Cl2 is given so Cl2 act as limiting reagent because it is completely
consumed and P act as excess reagent.
Step 4
C)From Balanced reaction,
2P + 3C12
-> 2PCI3
----->
3x70.90 g of Cl2 produced 2x137.33 g of PCI3
=> 1 g of Cl2 produced = 1.29 g of PCI3
so,
50 g of Cl2 produced = 50x1.29 g of PCI3
