Sodium is produced by electrolysis of molten sodium chloride. what are the products at the anode and cathode, respectively?

1 answer:

4 0

When sodium chloride is molten:
NaCl ------> Na⁺ +Cl⁻
Anod (+) | Cathode (-)
2Cl⁻-2e⁻ ---> Cl2(gas) | Na⁺ + e⁻ -----> Na⁰(s)

Problem PageQuestion Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume

IgorC [24]

Methane gas and chlorine gas react to form hydrogen chloride gas and carbon tetrachloride gas. What volume of hydrogen chloride would be produced by this reaction if 3.16 L of chlorine were consumed at STP.

Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer: Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

According to ideal gas equation:

$PV=nRT$

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm (at STP)

V = Volume of gas = 3.16 L

n = number of moles = ?

R = gas constant = $0.0821Latm/Kmol$

T =temperature = $273K=$

$n=\frac{PV}{RT}$

$n=\frac{1atm\times 3.16L}{0.0820 L atm/K mol\times 273K}=0.141moles$

$CH_4+4Cl_2\rightarrow 4HCl+CCl_4$

According to stoichiometry:

4 moles of chlorine produces = 1 mole of carbon tetrachloride

Thus 0.141 moles of methane produces = $\frac{1}{4}\times 0.141=0.0352$ moles of carbon tetrachloride

volume of carbon tetrachloride = $moles\times {\text {Molar volume}}=0.0352mol\times 22.4L/mol=0.788L$

Thus volume of carbon tetrachloride that would be produced is 0.788 L

Explanation:

How do I describe an ion?

<h2>an ion is an atom that has had electrons added or taken away from it.</h2><h2>they do this in order to obtain a stable electronic configuration like their closest noble gas..see Periodic Table column 18 which is also column VIIIA</h2><h2>If they gain electrons, they are negative and are called</h2><h2>ANIONS</h2><h2>if they lose electrons they are positive and are called</h2><h2>CATIONS </h2><h2 />
