Question

Titanium is a transition metal used as pins and plates to support badly broken bones. Titanium is extracted from an ore that
contains the mineral titanium oxide. This oxide is converted into titanium chloride. Titanium chloride is heated with sodium to
form titanium metal. This reaction takes place in an atmosphere of a noble gas, such as argon
4Na(s) + TICIO
Ti(s) + 4NaCl(s)
Calculate the mass of titanium that can be extracted from 570 kg of titanium chloride.
Relative atomic masses:
CI 35.5
Ti 48

What is the Mass of titanium (g)

Answer 1

Using the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical reaction, the mass of the Ti is 144Kg.

What is a chemical reaction?

The term chemical reaction refers to the combination of two or more substances to yiled one or more products.

The reaction equation here is; 4Na(s) + TICI4---->Ti(s) + 4NaCl(s)

Number of moles of TiCl4 = 570  * 10^3g/190 g/mol = 3000 moles

If 1 mole TiCl4 produces 1 mole of Ti

3000 moles of TiCl4 produces 300o moles of Ti

Mass of Ti produced = 3000 moles * 48 g/mol = 144Kg
