Titanium is a transition metal used in many alloys because it is extremely strong and lightweight. titanium tetrachloride (ticl4) is extracted from titanium oxide using chlorine and coke (carbon). if you begin with 1.25 mol tio2, what mass of cl2 gas is needed

The correct answer is 175 grams of Chlorine is required.  

Explanation:

The reaction for the given case is:

TiO₂ (1 mole)  + 2Cl₂ (2 mole) → TiCl₄ + O₂

From the reaction, it can be observed that 1 mole of TiO₂ reacts with 2 mole of Cl₂ to produce 1 mole of TiCl₄.

Therefore, 1.25 mole of TiO₂ will react with 2.5 mole of Cl₂ to produce 1 mole of TiCl₄.

The molecular weight of 1 mole of Cl₂ is 70 g

Thus, 2.5 mole of Cl₂ = 70 × 2.5 = 175 g

Therefore, for complete reaction of 1.25 mole of TiO₂, 175 g of Cl₂ will be needed.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
