Mass of Cl2=8. 178g
Mass of Cl2 unreacted=6. 867g
Step 2
Mass of Cl2 reacted=total Cl2
тass of Clz иnreacte
=8. 178g – 6. 867g
=1.311g
Molar mass of Cl2=70. 906g
Mass of Cl, reacted
Moles of Cl2 reacted="
Molar mass of Cl2
1.311g
70.906g
=0. 01849moles
The balanced reaction is given a
2K + Cl2
→ 2KCI
according to the reaction,
1 mol of Cl2=2 moles of KCl
therefore,
0. 01849moles of Cl2=2× 0.01849 moles of KCI
=0. 03698moles of KCl
Molar mass of KCl=74. 5513g/mol
Mass of KCl formed=moles of KCl × molar mass of k
=0. 03698 mol × 74. 5513g/mol
=2. 757g
