Answer:

First step would be convert to moles

Final Answer: 37.8 g of NaCl

Explanation:

The reaction is:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCI

We convert the mass of each reactant to moles:

18 g . 1mol /23g = 0.783 moles of Na

23g . 1mol / 70.9g = 0.324 moles of chlorine

We use the mole ratio to determine the limiting reactant:

Ratio is 2:1. 2 moles of Na react to 1 mol of chlorine

Then, 0.783 moles of Na, may react to (0.783 . 1)/2 = 0.391 moles.

Excellent!. We need 0.391 moles of Cl₂ and we only have 0.324 moles available. That's why the Cl₂ is our limiting reactant.

We use the mole ratio again, with the product side. (1:2)

1 mol of Cl₂ can produce 2 moles of NaCl

Then, our 0.324 moles of gas, may produce (0.324 . 2)/1 = 0.648 moles

Finally, we convert the moles to grams:

0.648 mol . 58.45g/mol =

A chemist prepares a solution of silver(I) nitrate by measuring out of silver(I) nitrate into a volumetric flask and filling the

leva [86]

Answer:

3.33 M

Explanation:

It seems your question is incomplete, however, that same fragment has been found somewhere else in the web:

" A chemist prepares a solution of silver nitrate (AgNO3) by measuring out 85.g of silver nitrate into a 150.mL volumetric flask and filling the flask to the mark with water.

Calculate the concentration in mol/L of the chemist's silver nitrate solution. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits. "

In this case, first we calculate the moles of AgNO₃, using its molecular weight:

85.0 g AgNO₃ ÷ 169.87 g/mol = 0.500 mol AgNO₃

Then we convert the 150 mL of the volumetric flask into L:

150 / 1000 = 0.150 L

Finally we divide the moles by the volume:

0.500 mol AgNO₃ / 0.150 L = 3.33 M

1/ Which graph illustrates constant speed and velocity

Maksim231197 [3]

Velocity is said to be constant if its magnitude as well direction at any instant is remains the same. In D, if you draw a line parallel to y-axis at any time t, you can see that velocity is same. Hence, D is the correct graph.

The kinetic energy of gaseous molecules is greater than that of liquid molecules. Therefore, in gas, kinetic energy overcomes the force of attraction between molecules. In short, in gas phase, particles move at high speed and hence they have less force of attraction. In case of liquid phase, particles are close enough as a result there is much more force of attraction compared to gaseous molecules. In liquid state, kinetic energy cannot overcome force of attraction therefore, liquid molecules slow down.

Therefore, B is the correct answer.

An atom X has three electrons in its outermost shell. Which ion will most likely be formed by X?

DedPeter [7]

Answer: X3+

Explanation:

Every atom aim to achieve stability by receiving electrons or giving their valence electrons in order to have a complete outermost shell of 2 (duplet) or 8 (octet structure).

In this case, the atom X will easily give off its three valence electrons to another atom(s), thereby forming a trivalent positive ion (X3+) with a stable duplet or octet structure (i.e an outermost shell with 2 or 8 electrons).

X --> X3+ + 3e-

Thus, due to the give away of three electrons (3e-), the atom X becomes X3+.
