(a)

Explanation of Solution
The raw chemical equation for the reaction of aluminum oxide with carbon and chlorine to produce aluminum chloride and carbon monoxide is given as follows;
Balancing aluminum atoms:
In the above equation, there are two aluminum atoms on the left side while only one aluminum atom is present in the right side of equation. Adding coefficient
Balancing oxygen atoms:
In the above equation, there are three oxygen atoms on the left side while only one oxygen atom is present in the right side of equation. Adding coefficient
Balancing carbon atoms:
In the above equation, there is one carbon atom on the left side while three carbon atoms are present in the right side of equation. Adding coefficient
Balancing chlorine atoms:
In the above equation, there is two chlorine atoms on the left side while six chlorine atoms are present in the right side of equation. Adding coefficient
(b)
Interpretation:
The mass of aluminum chloride that can be produced by reacting
(b)

Answer to Problem M.8E
Amount of aluminum chloride produced is
Explanation of Solution
The balanced chemical equation is given as follows;
Mass of aluminum oxide taken is
Limiting reactant:
As there are three reactants in the chemical equation, the limiting reactant can be found out by calculating the number of moles of aluminum chloride produced for the individual reactants.
One mole of aluminum oxide produces two moles of aluminum chloride. Therefore,
Three moles of carbon produces two moles of aluminum chloride. Therefore,
Three moles of molecular chlorine produces two moles of aluminum chloride. Therefore,
The moles of
Thus the amount of aluminum chloride produced is
