Respuesta :
1.09 moles of tin (Sn)
Explanation:
We have the following chemical reaction where tin chloride (SnCl₂) reacts with sodium (Na) to produce tin (Sn) and sodium chloride (NaCl):
SnCl₄ + 4 Na → Sn + 4 NaCl
Taking in account the chemical reaction, we devise the following reasoning:
if 1 mole of SnCl₂ will react with 4 moles of Na
then 2.34 moles of SnCl₂ will react with X moles of Na
X = (2.34 × 4) / 1 = 9.36 moles of Na
So, 2.34 moles of SnCl₂ will react with 9.36 moles of Na but we only have 4.36 moles of Na available. The limiting reactant will be Na. Knowing this we devise the following reasoning:
if 4 moles of Na produces 1 mole of Sn
then 4.36 moles of Na produces Y moles of Sn
Y = (4.36 × 1) / 4 = 1.09 moles of Sn

The reaction required in the following question is as follows:-
[tex]SnCl_4 + 4 Na ---> Sn + 4 NaCl[/tex]
According to the question, if 1 mole of [tex]SnCl_2[/tex] X moles of Na
[tex]X = \frac{(2.34 * 4)}{1} = 9.36\ moles\ of \ Na[/tex]
So, 2.34 moles of SnCl₂ will react with 9.36 moles of Na but we only have 4.36 moles of Na available. The limiting reactant will be Na.
According to the question, we can conclude that if 4 moles of Na produces 1 mole of Sn, then 4.36 moles of Na produces Y moles of Sn
[tex]Y = \frac{(4.36 * 1)}{4} = 1.09\ moles\ of\ Sn[/tex]
Hence, the correct answer is 1.09 moles.
