16. (16 points) In a container we introduce 2.0 moles of K 2Cr2O7, 5.0 moles of SnCl2 and 1.0
mole of HCl. Answer the following questions by considering the balanced equation:
K2Cr2O7 + 3 SnCl2 + 14 HCl 2 CrCl3 + 3 SnCl4 + 2 KCl + 7 H2O
a. Which is the limiting reactant?
b. How many moles of SnCl2 reacted?
c. How many moles of SnCl2 were left unreacted?
d. If the percent yield of the reaction in water is 80.0%, how many moles of
water are actually obtained?
e. What is the average oxidation number of the chromium atoms in K 2Cr2O7 ?
f.

Draw the structural formula of the anion Cr 2O72-

g.

What is the oxidation number of each of the chromium atoms in Cr 2O72-?

a. Which is the limiting reactant? (2 points)

(2.0 mol K2Cr2O7)(7 mol H2O /1 mol K2Cr2O7) = 14 moles H2O
(5.0 mol SnCl2)(7 mol H2O /3 mol SnCl2) = 12 moles H2O
(1.0 mol HCl)(7 mol H2O /14 mol HCl) = 0.50 moles H2O
The lowest number among, 14, 12 and 0.50 is 0.50. Thus, HCl is the limiting reactant and
we will use the given amount of HCl (1.0 mole) in order to find how many moles of SnCl 2 will
be left unreacted.

b. Reacted SnCl2

water are actually obtained?
(2 points)
0.80 = (Actual moles of water obtained) /(max moles of water could be produced)
0.80 = (Actual moles of water obtained) /(0.50)
Actual moles of water obtained = 0.4
