Chapter F, Problem M.15E

(a)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Balanced equation for the reaction of aluminium with chlorine gas to produce aluminium chloride has to be written.

(b)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The mass of aluminium chloride that can be produced by reacting $\text{255}\text{g}$ of aluminium with $\text{535}\text{g}$ of chlorine has to be calculated.

(c)

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

Percentage yield of the reaction has to be calculated.

Concept Introduction:

The yield that can be obtained to the maximum from the given quantity of the reactant is known as theoretical yield.  This does not consider the side reactions or impurities in the product formation.  Percentage yield is the yield of the product that is formed expressed in terms of percentage.  This can be given by the equation given below;

    $\text{Percentage yield}=\frac{\text{Actual yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$
