Answer:
24.6g of NaCl
Explanation:
Expression of the reaction:
2NaCl → 2Na + Cl₂
Given parameters:
Mass of Cl₂ = 15g
Unknown:
Mass of NaCl = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we have to use mole relationships.
Find the number of moles of the mass of the given specie;
Number of moles =
Molar mass of Cl₂ = 2(35.5) = 71g/mol
Number of moles = = 0.21mole
Now;
From the balanced reaction equation;
1 mole of Cl₂ is produced from 2 moles of NaCl;
0.21 mole of Cl₂ will be produced from 0.21 x 2 = 0.42mole of NaCl
So,
Mass of NaCl = number of moles x molar mass
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
Mass of NaCl = 0.42 x 58.5 = 24.6g of NaCl
