Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

$Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl$

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

Answer: c. +4

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

$Mn:25:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^64s^23d^{5}$

$Mn^{4+}:21:1s^22s^22p^63s^23p^63d^1$

$O:8:1s^22s^22p^4$

$O^{2-}:10:1s^22s^22p^6$

Here manganese is having an oxidation state of +4 called as cation and oxygen forms an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged to give $Mn_2O_4$ which written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $MnO_2$
