Using the formula Na + Cl2 --> NaCl, if 3.93 moles of chlorine are combined
with excess* sodium, how many moles of sodium chloride will be made? Note
that in this question, excess means extra or as much as you need.

Answer 1

7.86 moles of sodium chloride are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Moles of chlorine = 3.93 mol

Amount of sodium = excess

Moles of sodium chloride formed = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Now we will compare the moles of sodium chloride with chlorine.

Cl₂ : NaCl

1 : 2

3.93 : 2×3.93 = 7.86

Chlorine is limiting reactant that's why we compare the NaCl with only number of mole of chlorine.

Thus, 7.86 moles of sodium chloride are produced.
