You have decided to test the effects of five garden fertilizers by applying some of each to five separate rows of radishes. what is the variable you are testing? what factors should you control? how will you measure the results?

You are testing which fertilizer makes the radishes grow the fastest.

factors you should control: sunlight exposure, water amount, fertilizer amount.

Measure: check the rows of radishes to see how much each row has grown in comparison to the others. Whichever row with the healthiest radishes has the best fertilizer.

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
