Five moles of TiCl4 are combined with two moles ofTi.
a) How many moles of TiCl3 are produced according to thefollowing reaction?
3TiCl4 + Ti = 4TiCl3
I know the answer for A is 6.7 mols TiCl3.
I know 2 mols of Ti (4 mol TiCl3 / 1 mol Ti) = 8 mol and 5 molsTiCl4 (4 mols TiCl3 / 3 mols TiCl4) = 6.7 mols TiCl3
What I don't understand is where the 5 is coming from.Wouldn't the balanced equation use 6 and not 5?
This is my main question and I would appreciate any detailedreplies to help me understand. Thank you.
