Practice Problem #1: __TiO2 + __Cl2 + __C __TiCl4 + __CO2 + __CO

How many mol chlorine will react with 4.55 mol carbon?

What mass titanium (IV) oxide will react with 4.55 mol carbon?

How many molecules titanium (IV) chloride can be made from 115 g titanium (IV) oxide?

Explanation:

1)

Given data:

Moles of Cl₂ react = ?

Moles of carbon = 4.55 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2TiO₂ + 4Cl₂ + 3C  → 2TiCl₄ + CO₂ + 2CO

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with C.

                         C             :            Cl₂

                         3             :              4

                       4.55         :            4/3×4.55 = 6.1 mol

6.1 moles of chlorine will react with 4.55 moles of C.

2)

Given data:

Mass of TiO₂ react = ?

Moles of carbon = 4.55 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2TiO₂ + 4Cl₂ + 3C  → 2TiCl₄ + CO₂ + 2CO

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with C.

                         C             :            TiO₂

                         3             :              2

                       4.55         :            2/3×4.55 = 3 mol

Mass of TiO₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 3 mol × 79.87 g/mol

Mass =  239.61 g

3)

Given data:

Molecules of TiCl₄ formed = ?

Moles of TiO₂ react = 115 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2TiO₂ + 4Cl₂ + 3C  → 2TiCl₄ + CO₂ + 2CO

Number of moles of TiO₂:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 115 g/ 79.87 g/mol

Number of moles = 1.44 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with C.

                      TiO₂           :            TiCl₄

                         2             :              2

                       1.44           :            1.44

Molecules of TiCl₄:

1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

1.44 ×6.022 × 10²³ molecules

8.672× 10²³ molecules
