A reaction of chlorine gas with sodium solid creates 45.6 grams of sodium chloride. The mass of sodium and chlorine gas price for the reaction was ___ grams​

Respuesta :

Answer:

17.94 annd 27.69 respectively.

Explanation:

Na(s) + Cl(g) n` NaCl(s)

mass of NaCl = 45.6 g

Mr of NaCl = 23 + 35.5

= 58.5g/mol

mole of NaCl = mass/Mr

= 45.6/58.5

= 0.78 moles

From the equation;

1 mole of NaCl = 1 mole of Na = 1 mole of Cl

hence 0.78 mol of NaCl = 0.78 mol of Na = 0.78 mol of Cl.

mass of Na = 0.78 × 23

= 17.94 grams

mass of Cl = 0.78 × 35.5

= 27.69 grams

Answer:

17.94 annd 27.69
