QUESTION:

For the reaction shown, calculate the theoretical yield of the product in grains for each of the initial quantities of reactants.

\(2 \ \mathrm{Al}(s)+3 \ \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(g) \longrightarrow 2 \ \mathrm{AlCl}_{3}(s)\)

(a) \(1.0 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Al} ; 1.0 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

(b) \(5.5 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Al} ; 19.8 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

(c) \(0.439 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Al} ; 2.29 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

(c) \(0.439 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Al} ; 2.29 \mathrm{~g} \ \mathrm{Cl}_{2}\)

ANSWER:

Step 1 of 4

Limiting reactant is the reactant that is completely consumed in a chemical reaction.

Theoretical yield-the amount of product that can be made in a chemical reaction based on the amount of limiting reactant.

Chemical reaction

\(2 \mathrm{Al}(\mathrm{s})+3 \mathrm{Cl}_{2}(\mathrm{~g}) \rightarrow 2 \mathrm{AlCl}_{3}(\mathrm{~s})\)
