Question

19.

Answer 1

Answer:

В.  No, because the mass of the reactants is less than the mass of the products.

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

The given equation is not balanced because number of moles of sodium and bromine atoms are less on reactant side while more on the product side.

There are one mole of sodium and one mole of bromine atom on left side of equation while on right side there are 2 moles of bromine and 2 moles of sodium atom are present. The number of moles of chlorine atoms are balanced.

Balanced chemical equation:

2NaBr + Cl₂      →      2NaCl + Br₂

Now equation is balanced. Number of moles of sodium , chlorine and bromine atoms are equal on both side.
