Solution
(i) The total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved can be calculated using the formula: Molarity = Moles/Volume. Given that the molarity of the solution is 4.0 M and the volume is 500 mL or 0.5 L, we can rearrange the formula to find the moles: Moles = Molarity x Volume = 4.0 M x 0.5 L = 2.0 moles. However, the reaction of NaCl produces 1 mole of chlorine gas for every 2 moles of NaCl. Therefore, the total number of moles of chlorine gas evolved is 2.0 moles / 2 = 1.0 moles. So, the answer is (b) 1.0.
(ii) The maximum weight of amalgam formed from this solution cannot be determined without additional information about the specific reaction taking place at the cathode.
(iii) In the electrolysis of NaCl, 2 moles of electrons are involved for every mole of NaCl. This is because the reaction is 2NaCl -> 2Na + Cl2. Each Na atom loses one electron to become Na+, and each Cl2 molecule gains two electrons to become 2Cl-. So, the answer is (a) 2.
(iv) In the electrolysis of aqueous NaCl solution when Pt electrode is taken, H2 gas is liberated at the cathode. This is because water is reduced at the cathode to form H2 gas and OH- ions. So, the answer is (a) H2 gas.
(v) The total charge required for complete electrolysis can be calculated using Faraday's law of electrolysis, which states that the amount of substance produced at an electrode during electrolysis is directly proportional to the number of moles of electrons transferred at that electrode. The charge (in coulombs) is equal to the number of moles of electrons transferred times Faraday's constant (96485 C/mol). Given that 2 moles of electrons are transferred for every mole of NaCl and that there are 2.0 moles of NaCl, the total charge required is 2 moles e-/mole NaCl x 2.0 moles NaCl x 96485 C/mol e- = 386940 C. However, this is not one of the provided answer choices, so additional information or context may be needed to answer this question.

<ol> <li>Mole Calculation Review:</li> </ol> <p>a. To calculate the number of moles from grams, we use the formula:</p> <p>moles = mass (g) / molar mass (g/mol)</p> <p>The molar mass of NaCl (Sodium Chloride) is approximately 58.44 g/mol and the molar mass of Na2CO3 (Sodium Carbonate) is approximately 105.99 g/mol.</p> <p>i. For 55 g of NaCl:</p> <pre><code> moles = 55 g / 58.44 g/mol = 0.94 moles </code></pre> <p>ii. For 0.025 g of Na2CO3:</p> <pre><code> moles = 0.025 g / 105.99 g/mol = 0.00024 moles </code></pre> <p>b. To calculate the mass in grams from moles, we use the formula:</p> <p>mass (g) = moles * molar mass (g/mol)</p> <p>i.
