Answer:

The answer to your question is: 71 g of Chlorine

Step-by-step explanation:

Na = 46 g

Cl = ?

NaCl = 117 g

Equation

2 Na + Cl₂ ⇒ 2 NaCl

46g X 117g

If we consider the law of conservation of matter, we know that the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products, then

mass Na + mass Cl₂ = mass NaCl

46 g + X = 117

X = 117 - 46

x = 71 g of Chlorine
