Answer:

75.9 grams of salt

Explanation:

The reaction is the following:  

2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2NaCl(s)   (1)

We have:

m(Na): the mass of sodium = 30 g

V(Cl₂): the volume of the chlorine gas at STP = 60 L

So, to find the mass of NaCl we need to calculate the number of moles of Na and Cl₂.

n_{Na} = \frac{m}{A_{r}} = \frac{30 g}{22.99 g/mol} = 1.30 moles

The number of moles of Cl₂ can be found by the Ideal gas law equation:

PV = n_{Cl_{2}}RT

Where:

P: is the pressure = 1 atm (at STP)

R: is the gas constant = 0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)

T: is the temperature = 273 K (at STP)

n_{Cl_{2}} = \frac{PV}{RT} = \frac{1 atm*60 L}{0.082 L*atm/(K*mol)*273 K} = 2.68 moles

Now we need to find the limiting reactant. From the stoichiometric relation between Na and Cl₂ (equation 1), we have that 2 moles of Na react with 1 mol of Cl₂, so:

n_{Na} = \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Cl_{2}}*2.68 moles Cl_{2} = 5.36 moles

Since we have 1.30 moles of Na, the limiting reactant is Na.  

Finally, we can find the number of moles of NaCl and its mass.

n_{NaCl} = n_{Na} = 1.30 moles

m_{NaCl} = n_{NaCl}*M = 1.30 moles*58.44 g/mol = 75.9 g

Therefore, would be formed 75.9 grams of salt.

 

I hope it helps you!

<em><u>Answer and Explanation:</u></em>

Greetings!

Let's~answer~your~question!

Partial ~pressure ~of ~gas ~can ~be ~directly~ calculated ~by ~multiplying ~the~ percentage\\ of~ pressure~ of~ gases~ to ~the ~total ~pressure.

\boxed{Pgas~ = ~P~total~ * \% ~P ~of ~gas}

<em><u>For % of N2 gas: </u></em>

<em><u /></em>100\% - (5\% + 12\%) = 83\% ~N2<em><u /></em>

<em><u /></em>

<em><u /></em>PN_2 ~= ~146~ atm~ *~ 0.83 ~ = 121.18 ~atm<em><u /></em>

<em><u /></em>PO_2 ~= ~146~ atm~ *~ 0.12~ = 17.52 ~atm<em><u /></em>

<em><u /></em>~PCO_2~ = ~146~ atm ~* 0.05 = 7.3 ~atm<em><u /></em>

Answer:

<h3>The answer is option C</h3>

Explanation:

The mass of a substance when given the density and volume can be found by using the formula

<h3>mass = Density × volume</h3>

From the question

volume of liquid = 15 mL

density = 2.5 g/mL

We have

mass = 15 × 2.5

We have the final answer as

<h3>37.5 g</h3>

Hope this helps you

815 yd to km (need 3 sig fig)
SpyIntel [72]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is 0.745 km

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

A numerical value of 815 yards

To convert this into kilometers, we use the conversion factor:

1 km = 1093.6 yards

Converting the given value into kilometers, we get:

\Rightarrow 815yd\times \frac{1km}{1093.6yd}=0.745km

Hence, the correct answer is 0.745 km
