Solution that should be followed. Thank youuu
This kind of problem is an example of a limiting reactant problem since you are given the
quantities of both the reactants and you are asked to calculate for the amount of the product. To solve
limiting reactant problems, consider the following steps:
Step 1: Write down the known and the unknown quantities in the problem.
Given: mass sulfur = 200.0 g
mass chlorine= 100 g
Unknown: a) limiting reactant
b.) mass of disulfur dichloride (SzCh)
Step 2: Balance the chemical equation.
In the problem, the chemical equation is already balanced.
Step 3: Convert mass of reactants to moles.
Use the molar mass ( inverse ) as a conversion factor
100.00 ocl, x mel C (R) - 1.410 mo! C
70.a cla
1 mol Sp (a) - 0.7797 mol Su
256.5.
200,0 a8.x
Step 4: Calculate the mole ratio of the reactants.
To determine the actual ratio of moles, divide the available moles of chlorine by the available moles
of sulfur which you calculated in Step 3.
Actual 1.410 mole Clą available _ 1.808 mole Cl2 available
Ratio
%3D
0.7797 mol S, available
1 mol Se available
To get the stoichiometric ratio, divide the moles of chlorine to the moles of sulfur from the
balanced chemical equation.
Sa g+4 Clh w+ 4 S.Cbm
tmoles Cl
Stolchiometric ratio = mele S
Step 5: Compare the actual ratio to the stoichiometric ratio
The actual ratio tells us that we need 1.808 mole of Clafor every mole of Se. In the stoichiometric
ratio, 4 moles of Clz is neeced for every mole of Sa. Since only1.808 moles of chlorine is actually
available for every 1 mole of sulfur instead of the 4 mole of chlorine required by the balanced chemical
equation then chlorine is the limiting reactant
How to Get the Amount of Product Formed?
Use the calculated amount of moles of the limiting reactant to determine the moles of product
formed. Then, convert the number of moles of product to its mass.
Going back to the problem, we are asked of the mass of disulfur dichloride produced in the
reaction. To calculate:

190.4 g of S,Cla
Now you know that 190.4 g of S.Cla is produced when 1.410 mol Cl, reacts with an excess e
Se. ( Note: This is the theoretical yield)
How to get the Excess Reactart?
What about the reactant sulfur, which 13 Jw is in excess? How much of it actually reacted?
You can calcuiate the mass of sulfur needeu u Ieact completely with 1.410 mol of chlorine using a
mole-to- mass caiculation. The fist step is to multiply the moles of chlorine by the mole ratio of sultur
to chlorine to obtain the number of moles of sulfur. Remember, the unknown is the numerator and the
known in the denominator.
1 mel Se 0.3525 mol Sa
1.410 mol Cl, x
4 mot C.
Now, to obtain the mass o sulfur needed, 0.3525 mol Sa is multiplied by the conversion factor
that relates mass and moles, molar mass.
0.3525 mol S x **E 90.42 g S, needed
- 90.42 g Sa needed
I mal Sa
Knowing that 90 42 g Ss is needed, you can calculate the amount of sulfur left unreacled when
the reaction ends. Since 200.0 g of sulfur is available and only 90.42 g of sulphur is required, the
excess mass is:
200.0 g Sea available - 90,42 g See needed = 109.6 g Seg in excess.
