7. Sodium chloride is produced from its elements through a synthesis reaction. What mass of each reactant would be required to produce 25.0 mol of sodium chloride? Na + Cl2 → NaCl.

Mass of Cl₂  = 887.5 g

Mass of Na = 575 g

Explanation:

Given data;

Number of moles of sodium chloride produced = 25.0 mol

Mass of Na required = ?

Mass of Cl₂ required = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na  +   Cl₂    →      2NaCl

now we will compare the moles of sodium chloride with both reactant.

                      NaCl         :          Na

                         2            :           2

                      25.0         :         25.0

                    NaCl          :          Cl₂

                       2             :           1

                      25.0        :          1/2 ×25.0 = 12.5 mol

Mass of Na:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 25.0 mol × 23 g/mol

Mass = 575 g

Mass of Cl₂:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 12.5 mol × 71 g/mol

Mass = 887.5 g

is there multiple choice answers?

why is cellular respiration important for homeostasis?

it changes food into energy that the organism can use.

the cell will not be replaced when it is damaged.
