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
This equation is balanced
1 mole of platinum has a mass of 195 g therefore 1 atom will have a mass of 195 g /(6.02 ×10^23) = 3.239 × 10^-22 g
Density is given by dividing mass by volume, thus to get volume, mass is divided by density.
The volume = (3.239 × 10^-22)/21.4
= 1.514 × 10^-23 cm³
But volume of a sphere is given by 4/3πr³
Therefore, r³ = 3.6129 × 10^-24
r = ∛(3.6129 × 10^-24)
= 1.534 × 10^ -8 cm
Therefore, the radius of the platinum atom is 1.534 × 10^-8 cm
