balance the equation
P4 + 6Cl2 >>> 4PCl3
moles P4= 125/30.9 about 4
moles Cl2= 323/70 about 4.5
we need six moles Cl2 for each mole of P4, so we have an excess of P4.
max moles P4 used: 323/(70*6)
then convert that to mass
mass remaining=125-max used
1. Liquid phosphorus trichloride, PCl3 is made by the direct combination of phosphorus and chlorine.
a. What is the maximum mass of PCl3 that can be produced from 125 g of P4 and 323 g Cl2?
b. What mass of P4 remains after the reaction?
