Answer:

The answer to your question is 1124.8 g of TiCl₄

Step-by-step explanation:

Data

TiCl₄ = ?

Volume of H₂ = 170 l

Temperature = 450°C

Pressure = 785 mm Hg

Process

1.- Convert temperature to °K

Temperature = 273 + 450

Temperature = 723 °K

2.- Convert mmHg to atm

1 atm ---------------- 760 mmHg

x --------------- 785 mmHg

x = (785 x 1) / 760

x = 1.032 atm

3.- Use the Ideal gases law

PV = nRT

solve for n

n = (PV) / (RT)

Substitution

n = (1.032 x 170) / (0.082 x 723)

Simplification

n = 175.44 / 59.29

Result

n = 2.96 moles of H₂

4.- Use the balanced reaction to calculate the moles of TiCl₄ needed

2TiCl₄ + H₂ ⇒ 2TiCl₃ + HCl

2 moles of TiCl₄ ------------- 1 mol of H₂

x -------------- 2,96 mol of H₂

x = (2.96 x 2) / 1

x = 5.92 moles of TiCl₄

5.- Convert moles to grams

190 g of TiCl₄ ---------------- 1 mol of TiCl₄

x ----------------- 5.92 moles of TiCl₄

x = (5.92 x 190) / 1

x = 1124.8 g of TiCl₄
