$Na(s) + 1/2Cl_2(g) rarr NaCl(s)$

We assume standard conditions. Thus, there are 5.6 mol sodium metal and 3.4 mols $Cl_2$ gas, that is 6.8 mol chlorine atoms . Thus the metal is the reagent in deficiency, and we can form 5.6 mol of salt.

Most elemental gases are BIMOLECULAR under standard conditions, and this is something that an examiner would expect you to know. Note that I can think of 1 Group of gases that are unimolecular under standard conditions. Which are they?

Arsenic reacts with chlorine to form a chloride. If 1.587 g of arsenic reacts with 3.755 g of chlorine what is the empirical formula of the chloride?

$"Moles of arsenic"$ $=$ $(1.587*g)/(74.92*g*mol^-1)=0.0212*mol$. $"Moles of chlorine"$ $=$ $(3.755*g)/(35.45*g*mol^-1)=0.106*mol$. We divide thru by the lowest molar quantity to give $AsCl_5$. This is not chemical you would find in a...

Chlorine reacts with hot sodium hydroxide solution. A sample of a compound formed in the reaction was found to contain 10.8 g of sodium atoms, 16.7 g of chlorine atoms and 22.5 g of oxygen atoms. What is the empirical formula of the compound formed?

$"Moles of chlorine"=(16.7*g)/(35.45*g*mol^-1)=0.47*mol$ $"Moles of sodium"=(10.8*g)/(22.99*g*mol^-1)=0.47*mol$ $"Moles of oxygen"=(22.5*g)/(16.00*g*mol^-1)=1.41*mol$ We divide thru by the smallest quantity, that of sodium, to give an empirical formula.....of $NaClO_3$, i.e. $"sodium chlorate"$.

Recall that liquid sodium reacts with chlorine gas to produce sodium chloride. You want to produce 581 g of sodium chloride. How many grams of sodium are needed?

$"Moles of sodium chloride"$ $(581*cancelg)/(58.44*cancelg*mol^-1)$ $=$ $"approx. "10*mol$ Thus $10$ $mol$ sodium metal are required.

The reaction of chlorine gas with solid phosphorus ($P_4$) produces solid phosphorus pentachloride. When 160 of chlorine reacts with 23.0 g of $P_4$, which reactant is limiting? Which reactant is in excess?

$1/4P_4 +5/2Cl_2 rarr PCl_5$ This is of course a redox reaction, and establishes the . One equiv of phosphorus is oxidized by $5/2$ equiv of chlorine gas. $"Moles of...

What is the maximum number of mols of copper (III) sulfide that can be formed when 8.0 mols of copper reacts with 9.0 mols of sulfur?

The chemical reaction is: $4Cu+3S_2->2Cu_2S_3$ So from the left part of the equation, once can say: For every 4 moles of copper, 3 moles of sulfur is needed. For every...

Sodium and chlorine react to form sodium chloride: 2Na (s) + Cl2 (g) ----> 2NaCl (s) For the reaction of 44.0g Na with 69.9 g Cl2, what is the limiting reactant and what is the theoretical yield of sodium chloride in grams?

This is a limiting reactant problem. We know that we will need a balanced equation with masses, molar masses, and moles of the involved. 1. Gather all the information...

In the following equations, determine which reactant is the limiting reactant and which reactant is in excess.? The amounts mixed together are shown below each reactant. a) 2NaOH(10g) + H2SO4(10g) →Na2SO4+2H2O

Chemistry occurs in MOLE quantities. Masses (weights) are what we measure. So, to calculate reactions we need to put everything into terms of Moles before we can solve them. We...

How many mols of $"CO"_2$ were added at constant temperature and volume to a $"1-L"$ container containing $"0.400 mols"$ of $"CO"_2$ and of $"H"_2$, and $"0.200 mols"$ of $"CO"$ and of $"H"_2"O"(g)$ ($K_c = 4$) to cause $"CO"_2$ to drop to $"0.300 mols"$?

I got $"0.900 mols CO"_2$ added. At constant temperature and volume, the mols added only affect the partial pressures of each gas and thus their concentrations. This is just...

If a reaction of sulfur dioxide with dioxygen gas to form sulfur trioxide starts with $"5 mols SO"_2$ and $"5 mols O"_2$, and $60%$ of the $"SO"_2$ was consumed in the reaction, what is the total mols of gas at equilibrium?

$"8.5 mols of gas"$ Write the reaction: $2"SO"_2(g) + "O"_2(g) -> 2"SO"_3(g)$ For this reaction, you know that the starting mols are: $n_("SO"_2,i) = "5 mols...

During the course of the reaction, the vessel is found to contain $"7.00 mols"$ of $C$, $"14.0 mols"$ of $H_2O$, $"3.60 mols"$ of $CO$, and $"8.50 mols"$ of $H_2$. What is the reaction quotient $Q$?

The equilibrium given to you looks like this $"C"_ ((s)) + "H"_ 2"O"_ ((g)) rightleftharpoons "CO"_ ((g)) + "H"_ (2(g))$ By definition, the reaction quotient, $Q_c$, tells...
