The answer to your question is below

Explanation:

Consider the reaction: P4 + 6Cl2 = 4PCl3.

a. How many grams of Cl2 are needed to react with 20.00 g of P4? ___68.7 g

                                P4      +      6Cl2      =      4PCl3

                          4(31) 12(35.5)

                         20        x

                    x = 20(12x35.5) / 4(31)

                   x = 8520 / 124

                   x = 68.7 g

b. You have 15.00 g. of P4 and 22.00 g. of Cl2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate the grams of PCl3 that can be produced as well as the grams of excess reactant remaining. LR grams PCl3 grams excess reactant

                            P4      +      6Cl2      =      4PCl3

                       124g             426 g               4(31 + 3(35.5)) = 550g

                        15g               22g

I will use P4 to find the limiting reactant

                     x = (15 x 426) / 124 = 51.5   The limiting reactant is Chlorine

                                                                  because we need 51.5 g and we only have 22g

Excess reactant

                 x = (22 x 124) / 426 = 6.4 g of P4

           Excess P4 = 15 g - 6.4 = 8.6 g of P4 in excess

Grams of PCl3 produced

                              426 g of Cl2  550 g of PCl3

                                 22g of Cl2 -     x

            x = (22 x 550) / 426 = 28.4 g of PCl3

c. If the actual amount of PCl3 recovered is 16.25 g., what is the percent yield?

   % yield = (16.25  - 28.4) / 28.4 x 100

  % yield = 42.8

d. Given 28.00 g. of P4 and 106.30 g. of Cl2, identify the limiting reactant and calculate how many grams of the excess reactant will remain after the reaction. LR grams excess reactant

Limiting reactant

                                   124g of P4        426 g  6Cl2

                                     28g               x

x = (28 x 426) / 124

x = 96.2 g of Cl2 and we have 106.3 so Chlorine is the excess reactant and P4 is the limiting reactant.

Excess reactant = 106.3  - 96.2 = 10.1 g of Cl2 in excess

most historians agree that gabriel mouton, the vicar of st. paul’s church in lyons, france, is the “founding father” of the metric system. he proposed a decimal system of measurement in 1670. mouton based it on the length of one minute of arc of a great circle of the earth (now called a nautical mile, 1852 meters). he also proposed the swing-length of a pendulum with a frequency of one beat per second as the unit of length (about 25 cm). a pendulum beating with this length would have been fairly easy to produce, thus facilitating the widespread distribution of uniform standards. over the years, his work was revised, improved, and extended by a number of french scientists.

the political sponsor of weights and measures reform in the french revolutionary national assembly was the bishop of autun, better known as talleyrand. under his auspices, the french academy appointed several committees to carry out the work of developing a usable system of weights and measures for france. one of the committees recommended a decimalized measurement system based upon a length equal to one ten-millionth of the length of a quadrant of the earth’s meridian (i.e., one ten-millionth of the distance between the equator and the north pole).
