A molecule of aluminum fluoride has one aluminum atom. How many fluorine atoms are present?

3

Explanation:

The chemical formula of aluminum fluoride is AlF3. As you can see, there is a 1:3 ratio of aluminum atoms to fluorine atoms. Therefore, if a molecule of AlF3 has one aluminum atom, you know there must be 3 fluorine atoms present.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
