Interpretation:
The obtained mass in grams of chlorine gas from the given decomposition of sodium chloride needs to be calculated.
Concept introduction:
The ratio of mass of substance to its molar mass is said to be number of moles of that substance.
Answer to Problem 13PP
The obtained mass in grams of chlorine gas from the given decomposition of sodium chloride is
Explanation of Solution
Given:
The reaction for the decomposition of sodium chloride to sodium and chlorine is:
The above reaction is not balanced as the number of Cl atoms on the reactant side is 1 and on the product side is 2. So, in order to balance the reaction coefficient, 2 is written before
From the balanced
Now, the mass of
The molar mass of
Hence, the obtained mass in grams of chlorine gas from the given decomposition of sodium chloride is
