If 90.0 grams of ethane reacted with excess chlorine, how many grams of dicarbon hexachloride would form

709 g  

Step-by-step explanation:

a) Balanced equation

Normally, we would need a balanced chemical equation.

However, we can get by with a partial equation, as log as carbon atoms are balanced.

We know we will need an equation with masses and molar masses, so let’s gather all the information in one place.  

M_r:    30.07          236.74

           C₂H₆ + … ⟶ C₂Cl₆ + …  

m/g:    90.0

(i) Calculate the moles of C₂H₆

n = 90.0 g C₂H₆  × (1 mol C₂H₆ /30.07 g C₂H₆)

  = 2.993 mol C₂H₆

(ii) Calculate the moles of C₂Cl₆

The molar ratio is (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)

n = 2.993 mol C₂H₆ × (1 mol C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂H₆)

  = 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆

(iii) Calculate the mass of C₂Cl₆

m = 2.993 mol C₂Cl₆ × (236.74 g C₂Cl₆/1 mol C₂Cl₆)

m = 709 g C₂Cl₆

The reaction produces 709 g C₂Cl₆.

the answer is true.
