Sodium Chloride is an ionic compound. Its molar mass is 58.44g. One formula unit of NaCl consists of one____, whose chemical sym
1 answer:
Answer: One formula unit of NaCl consists of one cation, whose chemical symbol is and one anion whose chemical symbol is
Explanation:
For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.
The cation is formed by the metal sodium which forms and the anion is formed by non metal chlorine which forms
.
For a formula unit of sodium chloride, the charges have to be balanced , thus the valencies of ions are exchanged and the neutral compound result. Thus
and
combine to form neutral

Answer : The correct option is, (B) 6 mole
Explanation :
Given moles of = 6 moles
Given moles of = 6 moles
First we have to calculate the limiting and excess reagent.
The balanced chemical reaction is,
From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that
As, 1 moles of react with 2 moles of
So, 6 moles of react with
moles of
From this we conclude that, is an excess reagent and
is a limiting reagent because the given moles are less than the required moles and it limits the formation of product.
Thus, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = Required moles of NaOH - Given moles of NaOH
The number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction = 12 - 6 = 6 moles
Therefore, the number of moles of NaOH used up in the reaction will be, 60 moles
