Solve first for the number of moles of sodium given that the mass is 2500 g by dividing the given mass by the molar mass of sodium. 
                         moles sodium = 2500 g / 23 g/mol
                               moles sodium = 108.7 moles
Since in every mole of NaCl, there is only one mole of sodium then, we conclude that there are also 108.7 moles of NaCl. Multiplying the number of moles to the molar mass of sodium chloride (58.44), the answer would be 6,352.17 grams.

Alekssandra [29.7K]
It’s the third one because Cl has 17 protons bc of the numeric number and 18 electrons bc it’s always the opposite and 18 neutrons because you subtract 35-17=18

An unknown gas Q requires 2.67 times as long to effuse under the same conditions as the same amount of nitrogen gas. What is the
Misha Larkins [42]

Answer:

The correct answer is 199.66 grams per mole.

Explanation:

Based on law of effusion given by Graham, a gas rate of effusion is contrariwise proportionate to the square root of molecular mass, that is, rate of effusion of gas is inversely proportional to the square root of mass. Therefore,  

R1/R2 = √ M2/√ M1

Here rate is the rate of effusion of the gas expressed in terms of number of mole per uni time or volume, and M is the molecular mass of the gas.  

Rate Q/Rate N2 = √M of N2/ √M of Q

The molecular mass of N2 or nitrogen gas is 28 grams per mole and M of Q is molecular mass of Q and based on the question Q needs 2.67 times more to effuse in comparison to nitrogen gas, therefore, rate of Q = rate of N2/2.67

Now putting the values we get,  

rate of N2/2.67/rate of N2 = √28/ √M of Q

√M of Q = √ 28 × 2.67

M of Q = (√ 28 × 2.67)²

M of Q = 199.66 grams per mole
