69g of sodium reacts with chlorine to produce sodium chloride. calculate the number of moles of chlorine required to react with exactly with the sodium​

Respuesta :

Answer:

3 moles of [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex] is needed for [tex]Na^{+}[/tex]to be fully consumed.

Explanation:

For the balanced equation:

                                  [tex]Na^{+} + Cl^{-}[/tex]  ⇒  [tex]NaCl[/tex]

First, find the moles of Na corresponding to the 69g used the general definition of mol:

                               [tex]mol Na^{+} = \frac{69 g}{23 g/mol } = 3mol[/tex]

We observe that the equation is balanced and the stoichiometric ratio between them is 1: 1.

According to this, one mole of Na will react with one mole of Cl.

                3 moles of [tex]Cl^{-}[/tex] is needed for [tex]Na^{+}[/tex]to be fully consumed.
