Benzoic acid reacts with sodium hydroxide based on the equation shown in the attached picture.
It is clear that the ration between the benzoic acid and the sodium hydroxide is 1:1 in this reaction.
So, to answer this question, we will calculate the number of moles of sodium hydroxide used, equate it to the number of moles of benzoic acid and then calculate the mass of the calculated number of moles.
molarity = number of moles of solute / liter of solvent
0.1 = number of moles of sodium hydroxide / 0.02 liters
number of moles of sodium hydroxide = 0.002 moles
Therefore, number of moles of benzoic acid is also 0.002 moles
molar mass of benzoic acid = <span>122.12 grams
Therefore, the required mass of benzoic acid = 0.002 x </span><span>122.12
= 0.2444 moles</span>
Neon gas consist of individual, unbonded neon atoms due to the stable (octet) configuration, while chlorine exists as diatomic chlorine molecules to gain stability.
<h3>How we define the stability of atoms?</h3>
Stability of any atom will be defined on the basis of the electronic configuration or the number of valence shell electrons they have.
- Chlorine atom have seven electrons on the outermost shell of the atom and will able to gain 1 electron to get octet configuration, that's why present in the diatomic form.
- Neon is a noble gas as they have stable configuration due to presence of 8 electrons in the valence shell, and due to stability it will not easily react with any other gas and present in single atomic form.
Hence due to stable configuration of neon it is present in the unbonded form.
