Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Here, we want to know the mass of sodium produced from 4 g sodium chloride
From what we have two moles of sodium chloride was produced from 2 moles of sodium
Now,we need to get the number of moles of sodium chloride present in 4g of it
To get that, we have to divide the mass of sodium chloride by its molar mass
The molar mass of sodium chloride is 58.5 g/mol
The number of moles is thus:
This is the same as the number of moles of sodium
Now,to get the mass of sodium, we have to find the product of the number of moles of sodium and its atomic mass
Mathematically, we have that as:
