Answer to Problem 8.96QP
The mass of products formed in the given reaction are 24.7g N2 , 62.5g Cl2 and 106g HF.
Explanation of Solution
In given reaction diagram,
2 molecules of ClF3 reacts with two molecules of NH3 to form 1 molecule of N2, 1 molecule of Cl2, two molecules of ClF3 and six molecules of HF.
So, the chemical equation for this reaction is,
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
Balanced chemical equation of a reaction is written according to law of conservation of mass.
Therefore,
The total number of each atoms in the reactant side should equal to the total number of each atoms in the product side.
So, in order to balance a chemical equation, the coefficients of compounds or atoms are needed to be changed in such a way that total number of each atoms in the reactant side and the total number of each atoms in the product side is to become equal.
Hence,
The above chemical equation is balanced;
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
The mass of ClF3 in the given reaction is given as 175g.
The mass of NH3 in the given reaction is given as 30g.
Equation for Number of moles of a substance,
Number of moles = Given massMolecular mass
Therefore,
The number of moles of ClF3 is,
Number of moles = 175g92.45g = 1.893 mol
The number of moles of NH3 is,
Number of moles = 30g17.03g = 1.762 mol
The balanced equation of the reaction is found as,
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
The mole ratio between reactants ClF3 and NH3 is 1:1.
The number of moles of ClF3 is found as 1.893 mol.
The number of moles of NH3 is found as 1.762 mol.
Therefore,
The limiting reactant of the reaction is NH3, because it has less number of moles, so it consumes first in completely.
The balanced equation of the reaction is found as,
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
The mole ratio between reactant NH3 and product N2 is 1:12.
The number of moles of NH3 is found as 1.762 mol.
Therefore,
The number of moles of N2 formed is,
12 × 1.762 mol = 0.881 mol
Equation for Number of grams of a substance from its number of moles is,
Number of moles × Molecular mass in grams = Number of grams
Therefore,
The mass of N2 formed in the given reaction is,
0.881 × 28.02g = 24.7g
The balanced equation of the reaction is found as,
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
The mole ratio between reactant NH3 and product Cl2 is 1:12.
The number of moles of NH3 is found as 1.762 mol.
Therefore,
The number of moles of Cl2 formed is,
12 × 1.762 mol = 0.881 mol
Equation for Number of grams of a substance from its number of moles is,
Number of moles × Molecular mass in grams = Number of grams
Therefore,
The mass of Cl2 formed in the given reaction is,
0.881 × 70.9g = 62.5g
The balanced equation of the reaction is found as,
2ClF3 + 2NH3 → N2 + Cl2 + 6HF
The mole ratio between reactant NH3 and product HF is 1:3.
The number of moles of NH3 is found as 1.762 mol.
Therefore,
The number of moles of HF formed is,
3 × 1.762 mol = 5.286 mol
Equation for Number of grams of a substance from its number of moles is,
Number of moles × Molecular mass in grams = Number of grams
Therefore,
The mass of HF formed in the given reaction is,
5.286 × 20.01g = 106g
Conclusion
The masses of products formed from 30g of NH3 and 175g of ClF3 in the given reaction are determined according to the data’s given.
