Carlos is making phosphorous trichloride using the equation below. he adds 15 g of phosphorus. 2p +3cl2 → 2pcl3 how much chlorine would be found in the product?

answer : the amount of chlorine found in the product is, 51.546 grams

solution : given,

mass of phosphorus = 15 g

molar mass of phosphorus = 30.97 g/mole

molar mass of = 71 g/mole

first we have to calculate the moles of phosphorus.

now we have to calculate the moles of .

the given balanced reaction is,

from the balanced reaction we conclude that

as, 2 moles of phosphorus react with the 3 moles of

so, 0.484 moles of phosphorus react with the moles of

now we have to calculate the mass of .

therefore, the amount of chlorine found in the product is, 51.546 grams

multiplying and dividing the two decimals and the eqations by the same number of the overalls
