Answer:
1.9g of F₂ were consumed in the reaction
Step-by-step explanation:
Based on the chemical reaction:
2NaCl + F₂ → 2 NaF + Cl₂
Where 2 moles of NaCl react per mole of F₂ to produce 2 moles of NaF and 1 mole of Cl₂
To understand in a better way how the reaction occurs we need to convert each mass of compound to moles:
Moles of NaCl -Molar mass: 58.44g/mol-:
5.4g * (1mol / 58.44g) = 0.092 moles NaCl
Moles of NaF -Molar mass: 41.988g/mol-:
4.9g * (1mol / 41.998g) = 0.12 moles NaF
Moles of Cl₂ -Molar mass: 70.90g/mol-:
3.7g * (1mol / 70.90g) = 0.052 moles Cl₂
That means approximately 0.1 moles of NaCl react with 0.05 moles of F₂ to produce 0.1moles of NaF and 0.05 moles of Cl₂.
0.05 moles of F₂ are:
0.05 moles * (38g/mol) =
1.9g of F₂ were consumed in the reaction
