A product of homolytic fission can never be a - charged

b - nucleophile

c- both

d-none of these

both

Explanation:

A homolytic fission is said to have occurred when the breakage of a bond between two atoms leaves each of the bonding atoms with equal number of electrons. Homolytic fission often results in the creation of radicals.

Since homolytic fission yields two species with equal number of electrons(usually odd number of electrons), the products of such process can not be charged. They can not be nucleophiles because nucleophiles need to possess two electrons which can be shared with another chemical specie.

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
