6. how many moles of chromium(iii) nitrate are produced when chromium reacts with 0.85 moles of lead(iv) nitrate to produce chromium(iii) nitrate and lead?\nword equation:\nformula equation:\n(must be balanced!)
Answer
Explanation:
Step1: Write balanced chemical equation
$2Cr + 3Pb(NO_3)_4\rightarrow 2Cr(NO_3)_3+3Pb$
Step2: Determine mole - ratio
The mole - ratio of $Pb(NO_3)_4$ to $Cr(NO_3)_3$ is 3:2.
Step3: Calculate moles of $Cr(NO_3)_3$
Let $n_{Cr(NO_3)_3}$ be the moles of $Cr(NO_3)3$ and $n{Pb(NO_3)4}=0.85$ moles. Using the mole - ratio $\frac{n{Cr(NO_3)3}}{n{Pb(NO_3)4}}=\frac{2}{3}$, so $n{Cr(NO_3)3}=\frac{2}{3}\times n{Pb(NO_3)_4}=\frac{2}{3}\times0.85\approx0.57$ moles.
Answer:
0.57 moles
