Asample of sodium reacts completely with 0.497 kg of chlorine, forming 819 g of sodium chloride. what mass of sodium reacted?

Sodium reacts to chlorine and gives NaCl. The balanced reaction is given below:

2Na + Cl₂→ 2NaCl. Two moles Na reacts with one mole Cl₂ and produces two moles of NaCl. Atomic mass of Na= 23, Molar mass of Cl₂= 71, molar mass of NaCl=58.5.

So, 46 g Na reacts with 71 g of Cl₂ and produces (2 X 58.5)g = 117 g of NaCl. As per question Na reacts completely which means Na is the limiting reagent. So, number of moles of Na reacts = number moles of NaCl produced.

NaCl produced= 819 g= (819/58.5) moles= 15.69 moles. Therefore, 15.69 moles = 15.69 X 23 g=360.87 g of Na reacted.

answer: - 3.) the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

solution: - as per the rules, oxidation number of oxygen in its compounds is -2. the sum of oxidation numbers of all the elements of a molecule or compound is zero.

also, the oxidation number in elemental form is zero.

in no, the oxidation number of o is -2 so the oxidation number of n is +2 so that the sum is zero.

similarly, the oxidation number of c in co is +2 and o is -2.

on product side the oxidation number of n is 0 as it is in the elemental form() .

oxidation number of c in carbon dioxide is +4 as there are two oxygen in it and we know that each oxygen is -2.

so, oxidation number of n is changing from +2 to 0 and the oxidation number of c is changing from +2 to +4.

since nitrogen is reduced and hence no is acting as an oxidizing agent. carbon is oxidized and so co is acting as a reducing agent.

so, the right choice is number 3.)the oxidation state of nitrogen in no changes from +2 to 0, and the oxidation state of carbon in co changes from +2 to +4 as the reaction proceeds.

b) mutualism

hope this : )
