Question
  1. Disulfur dichloride, S2Cl2, is used to vulcanize rubber. It can be made by treating molten sulfur with gaseous chlorine:

 

S8(ℓ) + 4 Cl2(g) !"#$%&⎯⎯)  4 S2Cl2(ℓ)

 

Starting with a mixture of 32.0 g of sulfur and 71.0 g of Cl2, (a) Which is the limiting reactant?

  • What is the theoretical yield of S2Cl2?
  • What mass of the excess reactant remains when the reaction is completed?

2.Ammonia gas can be prepared by the following reaction:

 

CaO(s) + 2 NH4Cl(s) !"#$%&⎯⎯)  2 NH3(g) + H2O(g) + CaCl2(s)

 

If 112 g of CaO and 224 g of NH4Cl are mixed, the theoretical yield of NH3 is 68.0 g (Study Question 12). If only 16.3 g of NH3 is actually obtained, what is its percent yield?

 

3.The deep blue compound Cu(NH3)4SO4 is made by the reaction of copper(II) sulfate and ammonia.

 

CuSO4(aq) + 4 NH3(aq) !"#$%&⎯⎯)  Cu(NH3)4SO4(aq)

 

(a) If you use 10.0 g of CuSO4 and excess NH3, what is the theoretical yield of Cu(NH3)4SO4? (b) If you isolate 12.6 g of Cu(NH3)4SO4, what is the percent yield of Cu(NH3)4SO4?

4.Iron ore is converted to iron metal in a reaction with carbon.

 

2 Fe2O3(s) + 3 C(s) !"#$%&⎯⎯)  4 Fe(s) + 3 CO2(g)
