Answer:

2 will be the number

Explanation:

To balance a chemical reaction like this one, we have to know the priority order of balance.

In general, the priority order for balancing is:

Metals > Non metals > Hydrogen > Oxygen

Following this order, we can balance almost any chemical reaction we have:

Now, using this priority, let's balance the equation.

The metals here are Fe and Na, so let's check both of them in both sides of the reaction.

In the case of Fe, we have the same number of atoms in reactants (1) and in the product, so, in theory, we do not need to balance this metal.

In the case of Na, we can see that in reactants we have 2 atoms, but in the products we have 1, so we need to put a number 2 next to the Na in the product. It will keep like this: 2NaCl. This 2, also alter the number of Cl, but we will see that later. We have the metals balanced.

Let's see the non metals which are Carbon and chloride. In the case of C, we have in both sides the same number of C (1). In the case of Chloride, we also have the same number on both sides (2), because we put a 2 in products to balance the Sodium, and this balance the chloride too. So non metals are balanced.

We do not have hydrogens, so, let's see the oxygen. We have 3 in reactants and 3 in products, so they are already balanced, so we do not need to balance.

The balanced equation will be:

FeCl₂ + Na₂CO₃ -----> FeCO₃ + 2NaCl

Therefore the coefficient of NaCl is 2.

How many moles of Co2 are produced when 0.2 moles of sodium carbonate reacts with excess HCl
Pie
To determine the number of moles of carbon dioxide that is produced, we need to know the reaction of the process. For the reaction of HCl and sodium carbonate, the balanced chemical equation would be expressed as:

2HCl + Na2CO3 = 2NaCl + H2O + CO2

From the initial amount given of sodium carbonate and the relation of the substances from the balanced reaction, we calculate the moles of carbon dioxide as follows:

0.2 moles Na2Co3 ( 1 mol CO2 / 1 mol Na2Co3 ) = 0.2 moles CO2

Therefore, the amount in moles of carbon dioxide that is produced from 0.2 moles sodium carbonate would be 0.2 moles as well.

Better alternatives to nuclear power plants
AfilCa [17]
It also depends on what we use to make the energy in the power plants. Many use uranium which is non renewable. A better alternative would be wind or solar as it is always around. Hope this helps.
