Question 5 1 pts

Chloroethene, C2H3C1, reacts with oxygen according to the equation below.

2 C2H2Cl (9) + 5O2(g) + 4CO2 (g) + 2 H20 g) + 2 HCl (9)

What is the amount, in mol, of H2O produced when 10.0 mol of C2H3Cl and 10.0 mol of

O2 are mixed together, and the above reaction goes to completion?

08.00

10.0

04.00

20.0

Lo

4.00 moles of water

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is:

2 C2H2Cl (9) + 5O2(g) > 4CO2 (g) + 2 H20( g) + 2 HCl(g)

To find the limiting reactant,  we find the species that yields the lowest number of moles of water.

From the reaction equation;

2 moles of C2H2Cl  yields 2 moles of water

10 moles of C2H2Cl  yields 10 * 2/2 = 10 moles of water

Similarly;

5 moles of oxygen yields 2 moles of water

10 moles of oxygen will yield 10 *2/5 =4 moles of water

Hence oxygen is the limiting reactant.

10 moles of oxygen yields 4 moles of water.

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.
