How many moles of chlorine are used up in a reaction that produces 0.35kg of bcl3

4.48 mol Cl2. A reaction that produces 0.35 kg of BCl3 will use 4.48 mol of Cl2.

(a)The balanced chemical equation is

2B + 3Cl2 → 2BCl3

(b)Convert kilograms of BCl3 to moles of BCl3

MM: B = 10.81; Cl = 35.45; BCl3 = 117.16

Moles of BCl3 = 350 g BCl3 x (1 mol BCl3/117.16 g BCl3) = 2.987 mol BCl3

(c)Use the molar ratio of Cl2:BCl3 to calculate the moles of Cl2.

Moles of Cl2 = 2.987 mol BCl3 x (3 mol Cl2/2 mol BCl3) = 4.48 mol Cl2

the number of protons in the nucleus of a given element. has slight luster and conducts electricity at high temperatures like metal.but like a nonmetal,boron is brittle and does not conduct electricity well at low temperatures. in graphite, carbon is a soft,brittle solid.it is reflective,ductile,or malleable.
