By the stoichiometry of this reaction if 5 mol natrium react, then 2.5 mol

should result.

So what have I done here? First, I had a balanced chemical equation (this is the important step; is it balanced?). Then I used the stoichiometry to get the molar quantity of product, and converted this molar quantity to mass. If this is not clear, I am willing to have another go.
