Answer to Question #151451 in General Chemistry for Lukas

Question

2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl


How many moles of sodium chloride are produced if 49.1g of sodium reacts with chlorine?

Answer 1

2Na(s)+Cl2(g) → 2NaCl(s) .

Mole ratio = 2:1:2

If 49.1g of Na react this are equivalent to;

$49.1/23= 2.135$ moles

If 2.135 moles of Na reacted then, 2.135 moles of NaCl are produced
