Question

34 grams of chlorine gas react with sodium to form how many grams of sodium chloride? 2 na + cl2 --> 2 nacl

Answer 1

Hello!

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium and chlorine is the following:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

To know the mass of Sodium Chloride produced, we are going to use the following conversion factor to go from grams of Chlorine gas to grams of Sodium Chloride:


`34gCl_2* (1 mol Cl_2)/(70,9060 g Cl_2) * (2 moles NaCl)/(1 mol Cl_2)* (58,4 g NaCl)/(1 mol NaCl)=56,007 g NaCl`

So, 56,007 g of NaCl are produced

Have a nice day!
