Question

of 25 Map pling Learning Two samples of sodium chloride were 1.70 g of sodium and 2.62 g of chlorine. Which of the following could be the results of the decomposition of the other sample, being consistent with the law of constant composition (also called the law of definite proportions or law of definite composition)? sed into their constituent elements. One sample produced O 5.35 g of sodium and 1.43 g of chlorine O 5.35 g of sodium and 8.24 g of chlorine O 5.35 g of sodium and 12.8 g of chlorine O 5.35 g of sodium and 2.68 g of chlorine Hin Previous Check Answer NextExt

Explanation / Answer

Solution ;-

No of moles of Na = 1.70/23 = 0.0739mole

no of moles of Cl = 2.62/35.5 = 0.0738 mole


so that, the other sample must have 1:1 ration of Na,Cl.

No of moles of Na = 4.83/23 = 0.23 mole

No of moles of Cl = 0.232 mole

mass of Cl = 0.232*35.5 = 8.24 grams

answer : 5.35g of Na , 7.24grams of Cl
