What is the maximum mass of #"TiCl"_4# that can be obtained from 60.5 g #"TiO"_2#, 59.9 g #"Cl"_2# and excess carbon?
Give your answer in grams to three significant figures.
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is given below.
#3"TiO"_2(s)+6"Cl"_2+4"C"(s)->3"TiCl"_4(g)+2"CO"_2(g)+2"CO"(g)#

1 Answer
Explanation:
With excess carbon we only need to determine whether the amount of chlorine is limiting or not. Then we calculate the produce
We need two moles of
(we could also do the calculation precisely using a Cl atom and 35.45g/mol, but we already know it is doubled in this reaction).
We can ONLY produce
The mass is
