Electrolysis can be used to separate a substance into its original components/elements and it was through this process that a number of elements have been discovered and are still produced in today's industry.
The chemical reaction would be as follows:
<span>2Na + S → Na2S
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used in the reaction. We use these to calculate the amount of product. We do as follows:
45.3 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 g ) = 1.97 mol Na
105 g S ( 1 mol / 32.06 g ) = 3.28 mol S
The limiting reactant would be Na. We calculate as follows:
1.97 mol Na ( 1 mol Na2S / 2 mol Na ) (78.04 g / mol ) = 76.87 g Na2S produced</span>
The third question requires you to solve for the weight of sodium (Na) and weight of Chloride (Cl) from the calculated moles of each element Na, and Cl.
So, you need to multiply the calculated moles of Na with its molar mass (23 g/ mol) to get the answer for Na. And multiply the calculated moles of Cl with its molar mass (35.45 g/mol) to get the answer for Cl.
B. 1, 1, 1, 2
Explanation:
You only need to balance the NaNO3 on the right. Since there is 2 NO3 on the left, you need to put a 2 in front of the NaNO3 on the right. Everything else is already balanced so the only coefficient needed is 2 in front of the NaNO3.
Answer:
a) the atomic number is 15

c) element is phosphorus
d)Group 15 period 3
