Question

URGENT will give brilliant mark For the reaction 2Na + Cl2 ------ 2NaCl, how many grams of sodium chloride can be produced from 500g of chlorine? ( atomic masses : Na = 23 , Cl = 35.5 g/mol) *
1 point

112 g

319 g

409 g

825 g​

Answer 1

Answer:

825 g

Step-by-step explanation:

Here's my work:

500g Cl2 l   1mol Cl2  l  2 mol NaCl   l  58.5 g NaCl

                l   71 g Cl2    l  1 mol Cl2      l    1 mol NaCl  

= 823.94  - the rounding can be a little off

The first thing you have to do is convert the 500 g of Cl2 into moles.  So you get the mass of Cl which is 35.5, but Cl is diatomic by itself so you multiply 35.5 x 2 and get 71.   now on the third column you are comparing the mol ratios of the equation.  The equation is 2Na + Cl2 ---> 2NaCl, so you see that there is no coefficient in front of Cl2 so that means there is 1 mol, and then you see that in the product there is a  coefficient of 2 in front of NaCl so that means there is 2 moles.  Then finally you have to convert the moles backs into grams where you just add the masses of Na and Cl .  You multiply across the top  and then divide that number by the bottom row.
