Question

Select the correct answer.

What is the mole ratio of Cl₂ to Br₂ in the given reaction?
Cl₂ + 2NaBr-2NaCl + Br₂
OA 1:1
OB. 1:2
OC. 2:3
O D. 2:1

Answer 1

A.) 1:1

Step-by-step explanation:

You can determine the mole ratio between substances by comparing their coefficients in the balanced equation. Both Cl₂ and Br₂ have coefficients of 1. Therefore, they have a 1 to 1 (1:1) relationship.

If you were comparing the mole ratio of Cl₂ and NaBr, they would have a 1:2 relationship because Cl₂ has a coefficient of 1 and NaBr has a coefficient of 2.
