According to the equation 2K(s) + CI2(g) 2kCI(s), potassium reacts with chlorine to form potassium chlorine. If 100 atoms of potassium react with chlorine gas, how many chlorine molecules will be needed to completely react?

Answer:

50 CIâ‚‚ molecules

Explanation:

  • 2K(s) + CIâ‚‚(g) → 2KCI(s)

By looking at the stoichiometric coefficients, we can tell that if 2 atoms of potassium (K) react with chlorine gas (CIâ‚‚), 1 chlorine molecule would react.

With that in mind we can calculate how many CIâ‚‚ molecules would react with 100 K atoms:

  • 100 atoms K *[tex]\frac{1Cl_2Molecule}{2KAtom}[/tex] = 50 CIâ‚‚ molecules
