Answer:

F2 is the limiting reactant

27.6 grams of NaF is produced.

Explanation:

Balance the equation first.

2Na+ F2 ---> 2NaF

To find the limiting reactant, solve for how much NaF can be produced with Na and F2

12.5g F2 x (1 mole F2/ 38.00 grams F2)x (2 mole NaF/ 1 mole F2)

=0.658 moles NaF

16.2g Na x (1 mole Na/ 22.99 grams Na)x (2 mole NaF/ 2 mole Na)

=0.705 moles NaF

Since F2 produced the least NaF, F2 is the limiting reactant.

Now, to find how much NaF there is, use the moles solved above with F2 as the limiting reactant.

0.658 moles NaF x (41.99 grams NaF/ 1 mole NaF)= 27.6 moles NaF

27.6 moles of NaF would be theoretically produced.

10. A 2.36-gram sample of NaHCO3 was completely decomposed in an
Airida [17]

Answer:

0.79 g

Explanation:

Let's introduce a strategy needed to solve any similar problem like this:

  • Apply the mass conservation law (assuming that this reaction goes 100 % to completion): the total mass of the reactants should be equal to the total mass of the products.

Based on the mass conservation law, we need to identify the reactants first. Our only reactant is sodium bicarbonate, so the total mass of the reactants is:

m_r=m_{NaHCO_3}=2.36 g

We have two products formed, sodium carbonate and carbonic acid. This implies that the total mass of the products is:

m_p=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Apply the law of mass conservation:

m_r=m_p

Substitute the given variables:

m_{NaHCO_3}=m_{Na_2CO_3}+m_{H_2CO_3}

Rearrange for the mass of carbonic acid:

m_{H_2CO_3}=m_{NaHCO_3}-m_{Na_2CO_3}=2.36 g - 1.57 g=0.79 g

In the winter , people often buy large bags of rock salt to sprinkle on their walkways . Why do people do this?
slamgirl [31]

The salt causes the water to freeze at a lower temperature. When a solute, aka salt, is introduced to the system, the freezing point is lowered. This makes the water freeze at a lower temperature.

How many milliliters of 0.100 m naoh are required to neutralize 9.00 ml of 0.0500 m hcl?
BabaBlast [244]
V  ( NaOH ) = mL ?

M ( NaOH ) = 0.100 M

V ( HCl ) = 9.00 mL / 1000 => 0.009 L

M ( HCl ) = 0.0500 M

number of moles HCl:

n = M x V

n = 0.009 x 0.0500 => 0.00045 moles HCl

mole ratio:

<span>HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O
</span>
 1 mole HCl ---------------- 1 mole NaOH
 0.00045 moles HCl ----- ??

0.00045 x 1 / 1 => 0.00045 moles of NaOH

M = n / V

0.100 = 0.00045 / V

V = 0.00045 / 0.100

V = 0.0045 L

1 L ------------ 1000 mL
0.0045 L ----- ??

0.0045 x 1000 / 1 => 4.5 mL of NaOH
