Answer:
The mass of 2,50 moles of NaCl is 146, 25 g.
Explanation:
First we calculate the mass of 1 mol of NaCl, starting from the atomic weights of Na and Cl obtained from the periodic table. Then we calculate the mass of 2.50 moles of compound, making a simple rule of three:
Weight NaCl= Weight Na + Weight Cl= 23 g+ 35,5 g= 58, 5 g/ mol
1 mol ------ 58, 5 g
2,5 mol---x= (2,5 mol x 58, 5 g)/ 1 mol = <u>146, 25 g</u>
You should take note that the question is about stability. A compound is stable if it does not easily react with other elements. Hence, its reactivity must be low. As you move down the group, reactivity decreases. So, the halide at the very bottom is the least reactive. It would then be logical that the most stable conjugate base is I⁻ and the least stable conjugate base is the most reactive which is F⁻.
