Answer to Question #182345 in General Chemistry for Madison Perches

Question

How many mL of chlorine gas can be produced by the electrical decomposition of 15.0 g of sodium chloride at 15oC and 98.0 kPa?

Answer 1

2Na+Cl₂→2NaCl

Molar Mass of NaCl = 58.44

Molar Mass of Cl = 70.91

15/58 = 0.2567

= 0.2567 × 70.91 ÷ 2 = 9.1

9.1 × 15 × 98/20

= 657 ml
