The theoretical yield of a substance is the amount of the mass that is calculated from stoichiometry. The mass of sodium chloride produced is 13.03 gms.

<h3>What is mass?</h3>

Mass of the substance is a multiplication of the molar mass and moles.

The balanced reaction is given as:

CuCl₂ + 2NaNO₃ ⇒ 2NaCl + Cu(NO₃)₂

Moles of copper chloride are calculated as: 15 ÷ 134.45 = 0.115 moles

Moles of sodium nitrate are calculated as: 20 ÷ 84.99 = 0.2353 moles

From the reaction, 1 mole of copper chloride gives 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.115 moles of copper chloride will produce 0.223 moles.

Similarly, 2 moles of sodium nitrate produce 2 moles of sodium chloride so, 0.2353 moles produce 0.4706 moles.

From this, it can be concluded that copper chloride is a limiting reagent and will be used to calculate the mass of NaCl.

Mass of NaCl is calculated as: Mass = 0.223 moles × 58.44 = 13.03 gms.

Therefore, 13.03 gms is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride.

vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

Group 1 (or IA)

Explanation:

If element X is a halogen, then it belongs to the group 17 (or VIIA, under a different notation).

For each extra unit of atomic number, the group number increases by 1. That means that the X+1 element would belong to the group 18 (or VIIIA). <em>The X+2 element would thus belong in the group 1 </em>(or IA) one period higher (higher as in numeric value, not as in position in the periodic table).
