Answer:
It was called The Step Reconer
Answer: um is this a question or are you just telling people
Explanation:
Answer is: the oxidation number of oxygen must decrease.
Oxidizing agent is element (substance) that gain electrons in chemical reaction.
For example, balanced chemical reaction: C + O₂ → CO₂.
Oxygen change oxidation number from 0 to oxidation number -2 (reduction) and carbon change from 0 to +4 (oxidation)
Excess reactant : Na
NaCl produced : = 16.497 g
<h3>Further explanation</h3>
Given
Reaction(balanced)
2Na + Cl₂⇒ 2NaCl
20 g Na
10 g Cl₂
Required
Excess reactant
NaCl produced
Solution
mol Na(Ar = 23 g/mol) :
= 20 : 23 = 0.87
mol Cl₂(MW=71 g/mol):
= 10 : 71 g/mol = 0.141
mol : coefficient :
Na = 0.87 : 2 = 0.435
Cl₂ = 0.141 : 1 = 0.141
Limiting reactant : Cl₂(smaller ratio)
Excess reactant : Na
Mol NaCl based on mol Cl₂, so mol NaCl :
= 2/1 x mol Cl₂
= 2/1 x 0.141
= 0.282
Mass NaCl :
= 0.282 x 58.5 g/mol
= 16.497 g
