Bleach is often added to a wash to remove stains from clothes, The active ingredient in bleach is sodium hypochlorite (NaClO). A bleach solution can be prepared by bubbling chlorine gas into a solution of sodium hydroxide to produce liquid water and an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite and sodium chloride. A typical bottle of bleach has a volume of1.42gal, with a density of1.08g/mLand contains 282gof NaClO,(6.2,6.3,7.4,7.8,8.6,9.4)

a. Is sodium hypochlorite an ionic or a molecular compound?

b. What is the mass/volume percent (m/v)of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach solution?

c. Write a balanced chemical equation for the preparation of a bleach solution.

d. How many liters of chlorine gas at STP are required to produce one bottle of bleach?

Short Answer

Expert verified

(Part a)

Sodium hypochlorite has an ionic bond between Na+and ClO*ions. For this reason, this is an ionic compound

(Part b)

Therefore, the mass/volume percent (m/v) of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach solution is 5.25%(m/v)

(Part c)

The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is as follows:

Cl2(g)+2NaOH(aq)⟶NaCl(aq)+NaClO(aq)+H2O(l)

(Part d)

Therefore,84.9Lof chlorine gas at STP are required to produce one bottle of bleach.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

That are given sentences are :

Calculate the mass of sodium hypochlorite(NaClO)

02

Explanation 

Given volume of bleach solution is1.42gal

Convert gal tomLis as follows:

=1.42gal×3785.41mL1gal=5375.3mL

Density of bleach solution =1.08g/mL

Calculate the mass of sodium hypochloritelocalid="1652772295803" (NaClO)in the bleach solution is localid="1652772304900" 282g.

03

Given information (Part a)

That are given sentences are : (Part a)

Sodium hypochlorite

04

Explanation (Part a)

(a)

Sodium hypochiorite has an ionic bond between Na+and ClO°ions. For this reason, this is an ionic compound

05

Given information (Part b)

That are given equations are : (b)

Calculate the mass by volume percent by using the following expression.

06

Explanation (Part b)

Calculate the mass by volume percent by using the following expression.

Mass percent(m/v)=Solute massSolution volume×100%=282g5375.3mL×100%=5.25%

Therefore, the mass/volume percent (m/v) of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach solution is5.25%(m/v)

07

Given information (Part c)

That are given equations are : (c)

A bleach solution is prepared by bubbling chlorine gas

08

Explanation (Part c)

(c)

A bleach solution is prepared by bubbling chlorine gas into a solution of sodium hydroxide to produce liquid water and an aqueous solution of sodium hypochlorite and sodium chloride. The balanced chemical equation of the reaction is as follows:

Cl2(g)+2NaOH(aq)⟶NaCl(aq)+NaClO(aq)+H2O(I)

09

Given information (Part d)

That are given equations are : (d)

Calculate the moles of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach solution are as follows:

10

Explanation (d)

The balanced reaction is,

Cl2(g)+2NaOH(aq)⟶NaCl(aq)+NaClO(aq)+H2O(l)

Mass of sodium hypochiorite in the bleach solution is282g.

Calculate the moles of sodium hypochlorite in the bleach solution are as follows:

Moles=mass ofNaClOMolar mass ofNaClO=282g74.44g/mol=3.79

According to the balance chemical equation,

Mole ratio of Cl2and NaClOare in1:1 ratio.

11

Given information 

That are given sentences are :

Therefore, volume occupied by 3.79moles of Cl2 gas at STP is,

12

Explanation 

So, moles of chlorine gas required are3.79
moles.

At STP, volume occupied by 1 mole of Cl2gas is 22.4L

Therefore, volume occupied by3.79moles of Cl2 gas at STP is,

=3.79mol×22.4L1mol=84.9L

Therefore,84.9Lof chlorine gas at STP are required to produce one bottle of bleach.
