Capitolo 4, Problema 48

Elemental phosphorus reacts with chlorine gas according to the equation: P4(s) + 6 Cl2( g) → 4 PCl3(l) A reaction mixture initially contains 45.69 g P4 and 131.3 g Cl2. Once the reaction has occurred as completely as possible, what mass (in g) of the excess reactant remains?

Determine the molar mass of P_4 and Cl_2 using the periodic table.
Convert the given masses of P_4 and Cl_2 to moles by dividing by their respective molar masses.
Use the balanced chemical equation to find the mole ratio between P_4 and Cl_2, which is 1:6.
Calculate the theoretical moles of Cl_2 needed to completely react with the available moles of P_4.
Compare the available moles of Cl_2 to the theoretical moles needed to identify the limiting reactant and calculate the remaining moles of the excess reactant.

Concetti chiave

Ecco i concetti essenziali che devi comprendere per rispondere correttamente alla domanda.

Stoichiometry

Stoichiometry is the calculation of reactants and products in chemical reactions based on the balanced chemical equation. It allows us to determine the proportions of substances consumed and produced, which is essential for identifying limiting and excess reactants in a reaction.

Stoichiometry Concept

Limiting Reactant

The limiting reactant is the substance that is completely consumed first in a chemical reaction, thus determining the maximum amount of product that can be formed. Identifying the limiting reactant is crucial for calculating how much of the excess reactant remains after the reaction.

Molar Mass

Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, typically expressed in grams per mole (g/mol). It is used to convert between the mass of a substance and the number of moles, which is necessary for stoichiometric calculations in chemical reactions.
