HURRY! NO SPAM!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sodium chlorate decomposes into sodium chloride and oxygen gas as seen in the equation below.

­­2NaClO3­ --> 2NaCl +3O2

How many moles of NaCl were produced by 3 moles of NaClO3­? Round your answer to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

• 2moles of NaCl produced by 2 moles of NaClO_3
• Let required moles be x .

`\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto 2:2=3:x`

`\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto (2)/(2)=(3)/(x)`

`\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto (3)/(x)=1`

`\\ \bull\sf\longmapsto x=3mol`
