Question

How many grams of sodium chloride could be produced from 41.3 L of chlorine gas?

Answer 1

Answer:

The grams of sodium chloride that will be made is 292.5 g. calculation. 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl. step 1: calculate the moles of Na. moles = mass/molar mass. From periodic table the molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol. moles = 115 g/23 g / mol = 5 moles. Step 2 : use the mole ratio to determine the moles of NaCl. Na:NaCl is 2:2 = 1:1 therefore the moles of NaCl is also = 5 moles.

Explanation:

We know sodium is a very active metal and chlorine is also a very reactive non-metal. Usually, metals like to eliminate electrons and non-metals such as halogens like to accept electrons. Sodium readily eliminate its last shell electrons become Na+ cation and chlorine accepts that electron to form Cl-anion.
