1. Given the following balanced equation:
Mg + CuCl2 → MgCl2 + Cu
Calculate the amount of copper produced beginning with 100g of Mg and 200 g of CuCl2 and identify the limiting reactant.

Respuesta :

The amount of copper that can be generated using 100g of Magnesium and 200g of  [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] would be:

90g

Limiting reactant is [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex]

Equation

[tex]Mg + CuCl2[/tex] → [tex]MgCl2 + Cu[/tex]

No. of moles in 100g of [tex]Mg[/tex] [tex]= 4.11 moles[/tex]

No. of moles in 200g of [tex]CuCI2[/tex] [tex]= 1.49 moles[/tex]

Limiting reactant is [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex]

We know,

[tex]1.49 moles[/tex] of [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] gives [tex]1.49 moles[/tex] of [tex]Cu[/tex]

and,

[tex]1.49 moles[/tex] of [tex]Cu[/tex] equals [tex]94.7 g[/tex] of [tex]Cu[/tex]

Hence,

The amount of copper that can be generated using 100g of Magnesium and 200g of  [tex]CuCl_{2}[/tex] would be 90g.

Thus, 90g is the correct answer.
