Question: Na + Cl2 --> NaCl
If you were given 15 grams of sodium (with excess chlorine) and asked to determine the amount of NaCl that would be produced (in grams), how would you go about doing it. Be as specific as possible and include numerical values when necessary.

Answer 1

I would first convert the grams of sodium into moles of sodium using its molar mass. Next, I would use the ratio of Sodium Chloride to Sodium in the given chemical equation to cancel out the moles of Sodium that I just obtained and get the moles of Sodium Chloride. Finally, using the molar mass of Sodium Chloride, I would cancel out the moles of Sodium Chloride to get the grams of Sodium Chloride.
