Respuesta :

Sn + 2Cl2 ---> Sn⁺⁴Cl⁻¹4
         2 mol       1 mol
         2.85 mol     x

x=(2.85*1)/2=1.425≈1.43 mol SnCl4

Answer : The number of moles of tin(IV)chloride formed are, 1.425 moles

Solution : Given,

Moles of chlorine gas = 2.85 moles

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

[tex]Sn(s)+2Cl_2\rightarrow SnCl_4(s)[/tex]

From the balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of chlorine gas react to give 1 mole of tin(IV)chloride, [tex]SnCl_4[/tex]

So, 2.85 moles of chlorine gas react to give [tex]\frac{2.85}{2}=1.425[/tex] moles of tin(IV)chloride, [tex]SnCl_4[/tex]

Hence, the number of moles of tin(IV)chloride formed are, 1.425 moles
