Guidance on how to solve these question.
17. 71.0 g of chlorine, Cl 2, react with an excess of sodium hydroxide solution at a particular temperature. The reaction produces exactly 35.5 g of product X.
What is product X?
A H 2O B NaCl C NaCl O D NaCl O3

8. Sulfur can be oxidised in two ways.
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) ∆H o = –296.5 kJ mol–1 2S(s) + 3O2(g) → 2SO3(g) ∆H o = –791.4 kJ mol–1

Sulfur trioxide can be made from sulfur dioxide and oxygen.

2SO2(g) + O2(g) → 2SO3(g)

What is the standard enthalpy change for this reaction?
A –1384.4 kJ mol–1 B –989.8 kJ mol–1 C –494.9 kJ mol–1 D –198.4 kJ mol–1

When ever chlorine gas is involved Ar of Chlorine 71.0 is to be used
Make up equations for both
3Cl2 + 6NaOH----------> NaClO3 + 5NaCl + 3H2O
Moles of chlorine 71/71= 1 mole
Moles of chlorine ratio NaClO3
Cl2: NaClO3
3 : 1
(1/3)*(106.5) = 35.5 g
Thus D is the correct option.

QUESTION 35 ANWER IS OPTION D THAT IS 1

For statement 1 The following website will help you understand it in a more better way
https://www.chemguide.co.uk/mechanisms/nucadd/hcn.html
5454.png

Thus, Statement 1 correct.

For statement 2 :
The initiating step is the nucleophile CN- attacking the partial positive carbon NOT the proton (H+) being transferred to oxygen.
For statement 3 :
Only aldehydes or ketone react with the Cyanide ion not esters. ( thus only one group reacts)

It is easier to do it by balancing electrons
Yeah i totally agree with u i can even easily solve A2 electrochemistry lol but this one i just can't able to form half equations plss can u just show it's working i would get it :)

Such equations are very odd...I think we have to do them by hit and trial method
