Answer:
24.6g of NaCl
Explanation:
Expression of the reaction:
2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂
Given parameters:
Mass of Cl₂ = 15g
Unknown:
Mass of NaCl = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we have to use mole relationships.
Find the number of moles of the mass of the given specie;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2(35.5) = 71g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.21mole
Now;
From the balanced reaction equation;
1 mole of Cl₂ is produced from 2 moles of NaCl;
0.21 mole of Cl₂ will be produced from 0.21 x 2 = 0.42mole of NaCl
So,
Mass of NaCl = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
Mass of NaCl = 0.42 x 58.5 = 24.6g of NaCl
Answer: The percent composition of oxygen is 54.5%
Explanation:
Below I have attached my work through, but essentially the percent composition relies on finding the mass of the oxygens and dividing it by the mass of the whole compound. The masses of the elements can be found on the periodic table and added together to get a mass of the whole compound- ascorbic acid. Then, you turn this proportion into a percent by multiplying by 100%.
