Answer:
0.7 moles of Chlorine gas is required.
Explanation:
The reaction is balanced as follows:
2Na + ------> 2NaCl
According to stoichiometry,
2 mole Sodium reacts with 1 mole Chlorine gas
∴1 mole Sodium reacts with 1/2 moles of Chlorine gas
∴1.4 mole sodium reacts with 1.4/2 moles of Chlorine gas
= 0.7 moles of Chlorine gas
So, 0.7 moles of Chlorine gas is required.
The given chemical reaction is between calcium carbonate and hydrochloric acid to produce calcium chloride, carbon dioxide and water. This reaction can be represented as,
When the concentration of the reactants is increased, the number of collisions that take place between the reactant molecules increases. This speeds up the reaction. Therefore, when the concentration of HCl is doubled as long as there is enough calcium carbonate to react with HCl, the number of effective collisions giving products increases, this causes the rate of forward reaction to increase.
