Answer to Question #133751 in General Chemistry for C

Question

Given the following balanced chemical equation, 6NaOH + 3Cl2→ NaClO3 + 5NaCl + 3H2O how many moles of NaCl can be formed if 6mol of NaOH were to react?

Answer 1

The coefficients in chemical equations determine the mole ratio of compounds involved in the reaction. The coefficient before NaOH is 6, before NaCl - 5. It means that 5 moles of NaCl can be formed from 6 moles of NaOH.

Answer: 5
