How many grams of chlorine gas must react to give 3.52g of bicl3 according to the equation in exercise 23? 2bi+> 2bicl3

The correct answer is 1.19 g of chlorine.

The following reaction is:

2Bi (s) + 3Cl₂ (g) ⇒ 2BiCl₃ (s)

In the reaction, it can be witnessed that 3 mol Cl₂ is equal to 2 mol BiCl₃

The molecular weight of BiCl₃ = 315.33

Thus,

3.52 g BiCl₃ = 3.52 g BiCl₃ × 1.00 mol BiCl₃ / 315.33 g BiCl₃

= 0.0112 mol BiCl₃

The mole ratio of Cl₂ and BiCl₃ is,

3 mol Cl₂ / 2 mol BiCl₃

Therefore, the amount of chlorine needed to form 0.0112 mol BiCl₃ is,

0.0112 mol BiCl₃ × 3 mol Cl₂ / 2 mol BiCl₃ = 0.0168 mol Cl₂

Now, the molecular weight of Cl₂ = 70.90

Thus,

0.0168 mol Cl₂ = 0.0168 mol Cl₂ × 70.90 g Cl₂ / 1.00 mol Cl₂

= 1.19 gm Cl₂

Hence, in the mentioned reaction, there is a need of 1.19 g of chlorine to react to produce 3.52 g of BiCl₃.

answer: c. the experiment shows that the red substance experienced a chemical change.

explanation: chemical change is the change in which chemical composition of the substance changes. physical change is the change in which there is no change in chemical composition.

chemical changes are accompanied by following changes:

a) precipitate formation

b) energy is released or absorbed

c) formation of bubbles

d) change in color

as it is given that the red color has disappeared and there is production of gas, it means the red substance has undergone a chemical change.
