Answer:
The answer to your question is 0.8 moles of Cl₂
Explanation:
Data
moles of NaCl = 1.6
moles of Cl₂ = ?
Process
1.- Check if the reaction is balanced
2NaCl + 2H₂O ⇒ 2NaOH + Cl₂ + H₂
This reaction is balanced.
2.- Use proportions and cross multiplication to solve this problem. Consider the coefficients of the balanced reaction.
2 moles of NaCl ------------------- 1 moles of Cl₂
1.6 moles of NaCl ------------------ x
x = (1.6 x 1) / 2
x = 1.6 / 2
x = 0.8 moles of Cl₂
