How many kilojoules are released when 116 g of cl2 reacts with silicon? si(s)+2cl2(g)→sicl4(g)δh=−657kj

-  537 kJ of heat is released.

Solution:- For the given equation, is -657 kJ and the coefficient of in the balanced equation is 2. It means 657 kJ of heat is released when 2 moles of chlorine are used. We need to calculate the heat released when 116 g of are used.

Grams of chlorine are converted to moles and then multiplied by the value and divided by the coefficient of chlorine and the set could be shown using dimensional analysis as:

= 537.46 kJ

If we use the correct sig figs then it needs to be round off to three sig figs as the given grams of chlorine has only three sig figs. So, 537 kJ of heat is released.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
