Chemistry

Titanium (Ti) is a strong, lightweight metal that is used in theconstruction of rockets, jet engines, and bicycles. it can beprepard by reacting TiCl4 with Mg metal at very high temperatures.The products are Ti(s) and MgCl2.

a) provide a balanced chemical reaction for the reactiondescribed above.

b) how many grams of Ti metal can be produced from a reactioninvolving 3.54 * 10^4 g of TiCl4 and 6.53*10^3 g of Mg?

TiCl4 + 2Mg -------> Ti + 2MgCl2

no of moles of TiCl4 = W/G.M.Wt

                                    = 35400/189.67 = 186.64 moles

no of moles of Mg       = W/G.A.Wt

                                     = 6530/24 = 272.08 moles

1 mole of TiCl4 react with 2 moles of Mg

186.64 moles of TiCl4 react with = 2*186.64/1 = 373.28 moles of Mg

Mg is limiting reagent

2 moles of Mg react with TiCl4 to gives 1 mole of Ti

272.08 moles of Mg react with TiCl4 to gives = 272.08/2 = 136.04 moles of Ti

mass of Ti = no of moles * gram atomic mass

                   = 136.04*48 = 6529.92g of Ti
