Answer:
149.1 g KCl
Explanation:
2 K + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 KCl
This is your chemical equation. Use this equation to figure out the stoichiometry between Cl₂ and KCl. According to the equation, for every 2 moles of KCl, you need 1 mole of Cl₂, making the ratio between KCl and Cl₂ 2/1.
First, convert grams of Cl₂ to moles of Cl₂. The molar mass is 70.906 g/mol.
(70.90 g Cl₂)/(70.906 g/mol) = 0.9999 mol Cl₂
Convert moles of Cl₂ to moles of KCl using the stoichiometric relationship.
(0.9999 mol Cl₂) × (2 mol KCl/1 mol Cl₂) = 1.9998 mol KCl
Convert moles of KCl to grams of KCl. The molar mass is 74.55 g/mol.
(1.998 mol KCl) × (74.55 g/mol KCl) = 149.1 g KCl
You will produce 149.1 g KCl.
