How man grams of cl2 are consumed to produce 12.0 g of KCl

5.71 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation

2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 12.0 g of KCl

The molar mass of KCl is 74.55 g/mol.

12.0 g × 1 mol/74.55 g = 0.161 mol

Step 3: Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed to produce 0.161 moles of KCl

The molar ratio of Cl₂ to KCl is 1:2. The moles of Cl₂ needed are 1/2 × 0.161 mol = 0.0805 mol

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.0805 moles of Cl₂

The molar mass of Cl₂ is 70.91 g/mol.

0.0805 mol × 70.91 g/mol = 5.71 g

"you start with 15.67 g mgco3-xh2o, when heated and all the water is removed, you are left with 7.58 g mgco3 only.

therefore, you had 15.67 - 7.58 = 8.09g h2o  

moles of each :

7.58g mgco3 = ? moles = 7.58g / 83.4g/mole = 0.09moles  

8 09g h2o = ? moles = 8.09g / 18g/mole = 0.44moles  

molar ratio between the two by dividing both numbers by the smallest number :

0.09 / 0.09 = 1  

0.44 / 0.09 = 4.8  

mgco3-5h2o"

fe 55.85 g/mol and h2o 18.02 g/mol.
