SUMMARY

The reaction of titanium dioxide (TiO2) with carbon (C) and chlorine (Cl2) produces titanium tetrachloride (TiCl4) and carbon dioxide (CO2). From 1.25 moles of TiO2, 3 moles of Cl2 are generated, equating to 106.359 grams of Cl2. Additionally, 1.25 moles of carbon are required, resulting in 15.01 grams of C. The reaction also yields 1.25 moles of TiCl4, which corresponds to 237.1 grams of TiCl4.

Hi my question is
TiO2 + C + 2Cl = TiCl4 + CO2
If you have 1.25 mol TiO2. Answer this question:
1- The mas of Cl2
(1.25 mol TiO2) ((2 mol Cl2)/(1 mol Tio)) = 3 mol Cl2
(3 mol Cl2)((35.453 g Cl2)/(1 mol Cl2)) = 106.359 g Cl2

2- The mas of C
(1.25 mol TiO2) ((1 mol C)/(1 mol Tio)) = 1.25 mol C
(1.25 mol C)((12.011 g C)/(1 mol C)) = 15.01 g C

3- The mas of TiCl4
(1.25 mol TiO2) ((1 mol TiCl4)/(1 mol Tio)) = 1.25 mol TiCl4
(1.25 mol TiCl4 ) ((189.679 g TiCl4)/(1 mol TiCl4)) = 237.1 g TiCl4

Looks good except for this; "two x one and one quarter equals three?"
