ID96552057 next of H2 produced aqueous solutions of NaCl to
Solution
The reaction is
2 NaCl + 2 H2O -----------> 2 NaOH + Cl2 + H2
Part A)
Thus for each mole of Cl2 produced, one mole of H2 is also produced.
Thus the moles of Cl2 = moles of H2 produced.
moles of Cl2 = mass/ molar mass
= 1.6x 109 g /71 g [ mass to be taken in g not in Kg]
= 0.0225 x109 moles
Thus the mass of H2 produced = moles of H2 x molar mass
= 0.0225 x109 mol x 2 g/mol
=0.045 x109 g
= 4.5x107g
= 4.5x104 kg of H2 gas
The quantity of H2 produced =4.5x104 kg
Part B
From the balanced equation
for each mole of CL2 produced , 2 moles of NaOh is formed.
thus moles of NaOH formed = 2 x moles of Cl2
= 2 x 0.0225 x109 moles
Mass of NaOH formed = molar mass x moles of NaOH
= 40g/mol x 2 x 0.0225 x109 moles
= 1.803x109g
= 1.803x106 kg of NaOH
Thus the quantity of NaOh produced = 1.803x106 kg of NaOH
