What is the force of attraction between the particles in a salt crystal

Electrostatic attraction between the ions

Step-by-step explanation:

A salt crystal consists of Na⁺ and Cl⁻ ions stacked together in a crystal.

The ions have opposite charges, so they are electrostatically attracted to each other.

Because the ions are so close together, the attractive forces are quite large.

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

girl imma just put my comment here because i need a couple point okurrttt
