I would say that La Nina is responsible for dry conditions in California and typically it is the year after La Nina that the dryness turns often to severe drought. Drought can be bad for agriculture requiring a lot more irrigation and posing a drain on water resources which decrease also during a drought,

A 10.0-g sample of sodium chloride was placed in 10.0 g of water. If 3.85 g of Cl2 was obtained, what was the percent yield of C

suter [353]

Answer:

63.53% yield

Explanation:

The balanced equation for this reaction is 2NaCl + H2O -> 2NaOH +Cl2

First we must find the limiting reactant

From NaCl we can only produce 6.06 grams of Cl2 in <u>theory</u>

From H20 we can only produce 38.995 grams in theory

so we know NaCl is the limiting

% yield is (Actual/Theoretical) x100 so

(3.85/6.06)x100= 63.53% yield

How many sodium ions are in 1.4 kg of sodium chloride, NaCl?

Whitepunk [10]

Answer:

1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of NaCl = 1.4kg = 1400g

Unknown:

Number of ions of sodium = ?

Solution:

The compound NaCl in ionic form can be written as;

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

In 1 mole of NaCl we have 1 mole of sodium ions

Now, let us find the number of moles in NaCl;

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Number of moles = $\frac{1400}{58.5}$ = 23.93mol

So;

Since 1 mole of NaCl gives 1 mole of Na⁺

In 23.93 mole of NaCl will give 23.93 mole of Na⁺

1 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ ions of a substance

23.93 mole of a substance = 6.02 x 10²³ x 23.93

= 1.44 x 10²⁵ ions of Na⁺
