A chemical plant uses electrical energy to decompose aqueous solutions of NaCl to give Cl2, H2, and NaOH:
2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+Cl2(g)
1. If the plant produces 1.6×106 kg (1600 metric tons) of Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of H2 produced.
2. If the plant produces 1.6×106 kg (1600 metric tons) of Cl2 daily, estimate the quantities of NaOH produced.
1)
Molar mass of Cl2 = 70.9 g/mol
mass of Cl2 = 1.6*10^9 g
mol of Cl2 = (mass)/(molar mass)
= 1.6*10^9/70.9
= 2.257*10^7 mol
Balanced chemical equation is:
2NaCl(aq)+2H2O(l)→2NaOH(aq)+H2(g)+Cl2(g)
According to balanced equation
mol of H2 formed = moles of Cl2
= 2.257*10^7 mol
Molar mass of H2 = 2.016 g/mol
mass of H2 = number of mol * molar mass
= 2.257*10^7*2.016
= 4.55*10^7 g
= 4.55*10^4 Kg
Answer: 4.6*10^4 Kg
2)
According to balanced equation
mol of NaOH formed = (2/1)* moles of Cl2
= (2/1)*2.257*10^7
= 4.513*10^7 mol
Molar mass of NaOH,
MM = 1*MM(Na) + 1*MM(O) + 1*MM(H)
= 1*22.99 + 1*16.0 + 1*1.008
= 39.998 g/mol
mass of NaOH = number of mol * molar mass
= 4.513*10^7*40
= 1.805*10^9 g
= 1.805*10^6 Kg
Answer: 1.8*10^6 Kg
