Question:

Chem help.?

I need help with some stoichiometry, please.the question is: Aluminum bromide + chlorine yeild chloride + brominehow many grams of chlorine will react with 5galuminum bromide?i wrote out the equation for this problem which is (if i'm right):AlBr3 + Cl AlCl + Brthen i did the stoichiometry: (note: the '' mean times as in mulitplying)5gAlBr3 1 mol AlBr3 1mol Cl 35 g Cl 267 gAlBr3 1 mol AlBr3 1 mol Cl 0.655 -gt; 0.66 gClis this correct? is the (rounded answer to the hundreths place) 0.66 gof Cl?

Answer:

NoThe guidelines placed on food packaging (in the USA) anywaysis very stringentThis would not cause toxicityNo worries.
Your equation is wrongIf you meant aluminum chloride and not just chloride: 2AlBr3 + 3Cl2 2AlCl3 + 3Br2 Chlorine and Bromine are halogens, so they're diatomic unless otherwise stated (or stand as ions)5g AlBr3 / 266.70g/mol AlBr3 x 3 mol Cl2 / 2 mol AlBr3 x 70.90 g Cl2 1.99 g Cl2 Which means, keeping sig figs, 2g Cl2.
