Answer:
1.79 mol.
Explanation:
- For the balanced reaction:
<em>2NaCl + F₂ → 2NaF + Cl₂.
</em>
It is clear that 2 mol of NaCl react with 1 mol of F₂ to produce 2 mol of NaF and 1 mol of Cl₂.
- Firstly, we can get the no. of moles of F₂ gas using the general law of ideal gas: <em>PV = nRT.</em>
where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P = 1.2 atm).
V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 18.3 L).
n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol (n = ??? mol).
R is the general gas constant (R = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K),
T is the temperature of the gas in K (299 K).
∴ no. of moles of F₂ (n) = PV/RT = (1.2 atm)(18.3 L)/(0.0821 L.atm/mol.K)(299 K) = 0.895 mol.
- Now, we can find the no. of moles of NaCl is needed to react with 0.895 mol of F₂:
<em><u>Using cross multiplication:</u></em>
2 mol of NaCl is needed to react with → 1 mol of F₂, from stichiometry.
??? mol of NaCl is needed to react with → 0.895 mol of F₂.
∴ The no. of moles of NaCl needed = (2 mol)(0.895 mol)/(1 mol) = 1.79 mol.
The answer for the following question is option "C".
Option C is not included in the John Dalton's modern theory of an atom.
- "It states atoms of different elements combine to form new compound" but not new elements
Explanation:
According to John's Dalton's modern theory of an atom:
1. All matter is composed of atoms.
2. Atoms cannot be created,destroyed or subdivided in the ordinary chemical reactions.
3. Atoms of one element differ in the properties from atoms of an another element.
(i.e.)Each and every atom of the element has its own unique properties of their own.
4. Atoms of one element combine with the atoms of another element to <u>form new compound.</u>
5. Atoms that make up an element are identical to each other.
