Asample of sodium reacts completely with 0.497 kg of chlorine, forming 819 g of sodium chloride. what mass of sodium reacted?

Sodium reacts to chlorine and gives NaCl. The balanced reaction is given below:

2Na + Cl₂→ 2NaCl. Two moles Na reacts with one mole Cl₂ and produces two moles of NaCl. Atomic mass of Na= 23, Molar mass of Cl₂= 71, molar mass of NaCl=58.5.

So, 46 g Na reacts with 71 g of Cl₂ and produces (2 X 58.5)g = 117 g of NaCl. As per question Na reacts completely which means Na is the limiting reagent. So, number of moles of Na reacts = number moles of NaCl produced.

NaCl produced= 819 g= (819/58.5) moles= 15.69 moles. Therefore, 15.69 moles = 15.69 X 23 g=360.87 g of Na reacted.

the correct answer is b. a strong acid completely dissociates to its ions when dissolved in water. completely dissociates to and ions. a is incorrect because does not fully ionize to and ions and some remain as the compound . c and d are incorrect because, and do not fall into the category of bronsted lowry acids. a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor and since both molecules do not have a proton to donate they are not bronsted lowry acids. likewise,   if we use the lewis acid definition, they cannot be acids. a lewis acid is an electron pair acceptor. both and have a complete octet so can not accept any electrons which disqualifies them as acids.
