An empirical formula is the "reduced" version of a molecular formula. For example, CH3 is the empirical formula for C2H6, C3H9, C4H12, and so forth. The difference in subscripts between an empirical formula and molecular formula is given by the constant n. If n is a whole number, this means the numerator is the molecular formula. So the answer is D. <span>subscript of C in molecular formula = n  subscript of C in empirical formula. This can be rewritten as:

n = subscript of C in molecular formula/subscript of C in empirical formula</span>

Sodium chloride can be produced by the reaction of sodium metal with chlorine gas. Which is the limiting reactant if 6.70 moles
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Chlorine gas.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:

2Na+Cl_2\rightarrow 2NaCl

Thus, given the moles of reacting both sodium and chlorine, we compute the moles of sodium chloride yielded by each reactant by considering the 2:2 and 1:2 mole ratios:

n_{NaCl}^{by\ Na}=6.70molNa*\frac{2molNaCl}{2molNa}=6.70molNaCl \\\\n_{NaCl}^{by\ Cl_2}=3.20molCl_2*\frac{2molNaCl}{1molCl_2}=6.40molNaCl

Thus, since chlorine yields less moles of sodium chloride, we infer it is the limiting reactant.

Best regards!
