Answer:
D. The number of atoms present
Explanation:
In a balanced equation, coefficients always represent the number of atoms present.
A sodium atom contains 11 protons and 12 neutrons. Also A sodium atom contains 11 protons, so its atomic number is 11
.......the answer is a gas
Th actual yield of the reaction is 24.86 g
We'll begin by calculating the theoretical yield of the reaction.
2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl
Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol
Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 × 23 = 46 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g/mol
Mass of NaCl from the balanced = 2 × 58.5 = 117 g
From the balanced equation above,
46 g of Na reacted to produce 117 g of NaCl.
Therefore,
11.5 g of Na will react to produce = (11.5 × 117) / 46 = 29.25 g of NaCl.
Thus, the theoretical yield of NaCl is 29.25 g.
Finally, we shall determine the actual yield of NaCl.
- Theoretical yield = 29.25 g
Actual yield = Percent yield × Theoretical yield
Actual yield = 85% × 29.25
Actual yield = 0.85 × 29.25 g
Actual yield = 24.86 g
