The equation demonstrates a reaction of sodium chloride and fluorine.


2NaCl + F2 → 2NaF + Cl2

In order for the reaction to proceed, for every two moles of sodium chloride, there must be at least how many mole(s) of fluorine?

1 answer

the equation clearly shows just one mole of F2

Note that "moles of fluorine" means moles of F2, not moles of F.
Why is that?
