In a chemical reaction, 4 grams of sodium must combine with how many grams of chlorine to produce 10 grams of table salt?

Answer :

Answer:

4 grams of Sodium needs 6.165 grams of Chlorine

Explanation:

As per the equation, let us calculate the mole ratio.

Na+Cl---->NaCl

It can be observed from the balanced chemical equation  that

1 mole of Na needs 1 mole of Cl

In term of mass, it can be stated that

23 grams of Sodium needs 35.45 grams of Chlorine

or,1 grams of Sodium needs (35.45/23) grams of Chlorine

so 4 grams of Sodium needs (35.45*4/23) grams of Chlorine

so 4 grams of Sodium needs 6.165 grams of Chlorine

The mass of chlorine required is 6 grams.

Given:

The 4 grams of sodium and 10 grams of sodium chloride (table salt).

To find:

The grams of chlorine to produce 10 grams of table salt

Solution:

[tex]Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl[/tex]

Mass of sodium present = 4 g

Mass of chlorine needed = x

Mass of sodium chloride required to produce = 10 g

According to the law of conservation of mass:

Total mass of reactants = Total mass of products

[tex]Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl[/tex]

Total mass of reactants = (4 +x)g

Total mass of products = 10 g

[tex](4 +x )g = 10 g\\\\x = 10 g - 4 g = 6 g[/tex]

The mass of chlorine required is 6 grams.
