How many grams of ZrCl4 can be produced if 123 g of ZrSiO4 react with 85.0 g of Cl2?

153.3 grams of ZrCl₄ are produced

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is as follows:

ZrSiO₄ + Cl₂ > ZrCl₄ + SiO₂ + O₂

molar mass of ZrSiO₄ = (91 + 32 + 16 * 4) = 187.0 g/mol

molar mass of ZrCl₄ = (91 + 35.5 * 4) = 233.0 g/mol

molar mass of Cl₂ = (35.5 * 2) 71.0 g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of ZrSiO₄ reacts with one mole of  Cl₂ to produce one mole of ZrCl₄

number of moles of ZrSiO₄ present in 123 g = 123/187 = 0.65 moles

number of moles of Cl₂ present in 85.0 g = 85.0/71.0 = 1.19 moles

therefore, ZrSiO₄ is the limiting reactant

123.0 g of ZrSiO₄ will react with excess Cl₂ to produce 123 * 233/187 grams of ZrCl₄ = 153.3 grams of ZrCl₄

Therefore, 153.3 grams of ZrCl₄ are produced

definition

                    entropy is a measure of the randomness or the extent of disorder of a chemical process.

                      enthalpy is a measure of the heat change of a reaction occurring at a constant pressure.

measurement units:

                        entropy is measured in joule per kelvin (jk⁻¹)   whereas enthalpy is measured in joule per mole (jmol⁻¹)

requirements:

                            entropy has no requirements or limits, and its change is measured by the division between the heat change of the chemical process and the temperature.

                              in contrast, enthalpy can only be related to the heat change of the reaction under standard conditions.
