Phosphorus trichloride is produced by the reaction of phosphorus and chlorine as shown in the following balanced chemical equation. P4 (s) + 6 Cl₂ (g) → 4 PC13 (1) Consider the reaction of 125 g P4 and 322 g Cl₂. 1. Determine the maximum amount of PC13 that can be formed from the mass of P4 (in grams). g PC13 to 3 SF 2. Determine the maximum amount of PC13 that can be formed from the mass of Cl₂ (in grams). g PC13 to 3 SF 3. Based on your answers above, what mass of PC13 is expected to form? g PCI; to 3 SF 4. What is the limiting reactant? blank) 5. How much excess reactant (in grams) is left at the end of the reaction? • Start - used=left over (put numbers in blanks in this order) g to start with - O (write phosphorus or chlorine in the g used in the reaction = g left over at the end of the reaction. 6. If the percent yield is 84.5 %, what mass of PC13 was obtained in the reaction (actual yield)? g PC13 to 3 SF
