### Preparation of Silicon Tetrachloride (SiCl₄) by Heating Silicon in Chlorine Gas

The reaction for forming Silicon Tetrachloride involves silicon (Si) and chlorine gas (Cl₂) as follows:

\[ \text{2Cl}_2(\text{g}) + \text{Si}(\text{s}) \rightarrow \text{SiCl}_4(\text{l}) \]

This educational module explores the stoichiometry of this reaction with the following tasks:

1. **Calculate the Number of Moles of Cl₂ Required:**
   - Given: Formation of 0.268 moles of SiCl₄.
   - Assume an excess of Si is present.
   - Calculate the moles of Cl₂ needed for this reaction.

2. **Determine the Moles of Silicon Required:**
   - Find the moles of Si necessary to produce the given amount of SiCl₄.

**Instructions:**

- To calculate the moles of Cl₂: Utilize the molar ratio from the balanced chemical equation.
- Determine the moles of Si based on the ratio from the equation.

This practical example provides insights into chemical reaction calculations and stoichiometric principles.
