PROBLEM 94P
Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the reaction:
2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) → 2 NaCl(s)
What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at 687 torr and 35 °C, is required to form 28 g of NaCl?
Problem 94P
Sodium reacts with chlorine gas according to the reaction:
What volume of Cl2 gas, measured at 687 torr and 35 °C, is required to form 28 g of NaCl?
Step by Step Solution
Step 1 of 2
The given reaction is as follows.
From the above reaction , one mole of sodium produces 2 moles of sodium chloride.
Let’s calculate the number of moles of chlorine gas required to react with 28 g of NaCl.
Therefore, 0.24 moles of chlorine gas are required to form 28 g of NaCl.
