Molecular is every element present in the compound eg C2H6, empirical is the smallest whole number ratio of elements in a compound so that would be CH3 as you divide by the highest common factor. Some compounds only have 1 formula if they are simple or have no common factors. Eg methane, CH4 is its molecular and empirical because its the simplest whole number ratio and includes every element in the molecule

What similarities do nuclear energy and chemical energy share?
nadya68 [22]
Atoms can be the source of both nuclear and chemical energy. Nuclear energy involves the atom's nucleus; chemical energy involves the atom's electrons—subatomic particles that surround the nucleus.

6.0 moles of Na and 4.0 moles of Cl2 are mixed, how manu moles of NaCl in moles cane be made from this mixture
Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

  • Moles of Na is 6.0 moles
  • Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles

From the reaction;

2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

In this case;

6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

                      = 6.0 moles

Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
