What is meant by the term chemical reaction

Explanation:

▪️

⇒The composition , decomposition or displacement of molecules of matter during chemical change is called chemical reaction.

▪️

Various conditions bring about these changes. The chemical reactions are represented by chemicalequation. The compounds or elements that take part in chemical reaction are called reactant. They are written at the left side of an arrow that represent a change while the compound or elements that formed after the chemical change are called product. They are written at the right side of the arrow.

When nitrogen reacts with hydrogen to form ammonia :

Nitrogen + Hydrogen ⇒ Ammonia

N₂ + 3H₂ ⇒ 2NH₃

Presentation of a chemical reaction in the form of equation is called chemical equation . Chemical equation may be word equations or formula equations.

Hope I helped!

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

personal, she chose to do it.
