Si + 2Cl2 + SiC14
What mass of SiCl4 is formed when 10.0 grams of Si and 60.0
grams of Cl2 react? Molar mass of SiCl4 = 169.8 g/mol
Molar mass of Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol
Molar mass of Si = 28.0 g/mol

59.43 grams of SiCl4 is formed when 10.0 grams of Si and 60.0

grams of Cl2 react.

Explanation:

Data given:

mass of Si = 10 grams

mass of chlorine gas = 60 grams

molar mass of Si = 28 grams/mole

molar mass of chlorine gas = 70.9 grams/mole

molar mass of Si  = 169.8 grams/mole

Balanced equation:

Si + 2 ⇒ Si

moles of Si =

moles of Si =

moles of Si =0.35 moles

moles of chlorine gas =

moles of chlorine gas = 0.84 moles

from the balance reaction,

1 mole of Si gives 1 mole of Silicon tetrachloride

0.35 moles of Si will give 0.35 moles of silicon tetrachloride

mass = atomic mass x number of moles

mass = 169.8 x 0.35

mass = 59.43 grams

2 moles of chlorine gas gives 1 mole of silicon tetrachloride

0.84 moles of chlorine will give

0.84 x 2 moles= 1.68 moles of silicon tetrachloride

mass = 1.68 x 169.8

        = 285.26 grams

Mass of silicon tetrachloride fromed is 59.43 grams as silicon is the limiting reagent.

organisms are more likely to be more preserved in mud than sand because mud is moist and wet, while sand is very dry.

b) mutualism

hope this : )
