Answer:

NaOH is the limiting reactant.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since the reaction taking place between sodium hydroxide and chlorine has is:

NaOH+Cl_2\rightarrow NaCl+NaClO+H_2O

Which must be balanced according to the law of conservation of mass:

2NaOH+Cl_2\rightarrow NaCl+NaClO+H_2O

Whereas there is a 2:1 mole ratio of NaOH to Cl2, which means that the moles of the former that are consumed by 0.85 moles of the latter are:

n_{NaOH}=0.85molCl_2*\frac{2molNaOH}{1molCl_2}\\\\n_{ NaOH}=1.7molNaOH

Therefore, since we just have 1.23 moles out of 1.70 moles of NaOH, we infer this is the limiting reactant.

Regards!

When two ions form an ionic bond, what type of compound is formed?
Dafna1 [17]

it is c. ionic compound just because it says ionic. can't be a crystal since there's no links to an ionic bond connected to crystals (and if it were it'd depend on the elements and the thingy majig itself right) and a covalent bond is an entirely different bond which isn't related to ionic. hope this helped, and i hope you have a good day too! :D

What is the percentage sodium in sodium oxide
Alekssandra [29.7K]
<span>
Sodium Oxide= Na2O
The formula mass of Na2O is (2x23) + 16 = 62g/mol

% Na= (46/62) x 100 = 74%
% O= (16/62) x 100 = 26%</span><span>

What is the number of the lowest energy level that contains an f sublevel?
forsale [732]

Answer: n = 4.


Explanation:


1) The main energy level is represented by the principal (main) quantum number, n. It can be 1, 2, 3, 4, 5,6, or 7. It is the period number in the periodic table.


2) The next quantum number is the Azimuthal quantum number (ℓ), also known as angular quantum number. It indicates the subshell (sublevel) or type of orbital.


This quantun number may be:


s, p, d, or f.


3) For n = 1, there is only one ℓ number: 0; which is the orbital s


For n = 2, there are two possible ℓ numbers: 0 and 1; which are the orbitals s and p.


For n = 3, there are three possible ℓ numbers: 0, 1, and 2, which are the orbitals s, p, and d:


For n = 4, there are four possible ℓ numbers:0, 1, 2, and 3; which are the orbitals s, p, d, and f.


So, the f sublevel appears first time when n = 4, i.e the number of the lowest energy level that contains an f sublevel is 4.

Which of the following conditions would speed up the rate of decomposition? (Select
Anna11 [10]

Answer:

E and B

Explanation:

the warmer the weather the faster it will decompose, this why is why sometimes bodies last longer frozen, or in cool temperatures.

that statement takes a out.

An illness shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Weight also shouldn't effect a decomposing body

Being buried can make bodies decompose fast because of all the bugs and other animals that will get down there and decompose it faster

Answer: B,E
