  • Calculating Moles of NaCl from Sodium Chromate Reaction
    Here's how to solve this:

    Understanding the Reaction

    The reaction you're describing is a double displacement reaction where sodium chromate (Na₂CrO₄) reacts with a source of chloride ions (like HCl) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl) and chromic acid (H₂CrO₄):

    2 Na₂CrO₄ + 4 HCl → 4 NaCl + 2 H₂CrO₄

    Stoichiometry

    The balanced chemical equation tells us the mole ratios of the reactants and products:

    * 2 moles of Na₂CrO₄ react to produce 4 moles of NaCl

    Calculation

    Since you have 2 moles of Na₂CrO₄, you can use the mole ratio to find the moles of NaCl formed:

    (2 moles Na₂CrO₄) * (4 moles NaCl / 2 moles Na₂CrO₄) = 4 moles NaCl

    Answer:

    A total of 4 moles of NaCl will be formed when 2 moles of Na₂CrO₄ react completely.
