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  = \frac{mass}{molar mass}  

     Molar mass of Cl₂  = 2(35.5) = 71g/mol

   Number of moles  = \frac{15}{71}   = 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

Increasing the temperature increases the vaporization rate of a liquid because the excess energy is used to break covalent bonds
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

False.  The molecules of liquid are hold in the liquid state due to intermolecular forces or Van de Waals forces , without affecting the molecule itself and its atomic bonds (covalent bonds).  When the temperature increases the kinetic energy of the molecules is higher , therefore they have more possibilities to escape from the attractive intermolecular forces and go to the gas state.

Note however that this is caused because the intermolecular forces are really weak compared to covalent bonds, therefore is easier to break the first one first and go to the gas state before any covalent bond breaks ( if it happens).

A temperature increase can increase vaporisation rate if any reaction is triggered that decomposes the liquid into more volatile compounds , but nevertheless, this effect is generally insignificant compared with the effect that temperature has in vaporisation due to Van der Waals forces.

What decides if an atom will be a cation or an anion?
JulijaS [17]

The loss or gain of electrons

Explanation:

The loss or gain of electrons determines if an atom will become a cation or anion.

A cation is a positively charge ion

An anion is a negatively charged ion.

In an atom, we have sub-atomic particles:

 Protons are the positively charged particles

 Electrons are negatively charged

  Neutrons carry no charges

Only electrons can be lost or gained in chemical processes that forms cations and anions.

When a neutral atom gains electron, it has more electrons than protons. This makes it negatively charged and we call it an anion.

When a neutral atom loses an electron, the number of protons is more. We call it a cation.
