Answer:
Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = 24.54 g
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = ?
Mass of chlorine gas formed = 15 g
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂
Number of moles of Cl₂:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 15 g/ 71 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.21 mol
Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl from balance chemical equation.
Cl₂ : NaCl
1 : 2
0.21 : 2×0.21 = 0.42 mol
Mass of Sodium chloride decompose:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.42 mol × 58.44 g/mol
Mass = 24.54 g
B. Developing theories using many lines of evidence
Answer:
The van't hoff factor of 0.500m K₂SO₄ will be highest.
Explanation:
Van't Hoff factor was introduced for better understanding of colligative property of a solution.
By definition it is the ratio of actual number of particles or ions or associated molecules formed when a solute is dissolved to the number of particles expected from the mass dissolved.
a) For NaCl the van't Hoff factor is 2
b) For K₂SO₄ the van't Hoff factor is 3 [it will dissociate to give three ions one sulfate ion and two potassium ions]
Out of 0.500m and 0.050m K₂SO₄, the van't hoff factor of 0.500m K₂SO₄ will be more.
c) The van't Hoff factor for glucose is one as it is a non electrolyte and will not dissociate.
