4 pts
Using the formula Na + Cl2 --> Naci, if 2.98 moles of sodium are combined with
excess" chlorine, 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

2.98 moles of NaCl are produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data:

Moles of sodium = 2.98 mol

Amount of chlorine = excess

Moles of NaCl produced = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

Now we will compare the moles of sodium chloride with only sodium because sodium is limiting reactant and chlorine is in excess thus sodium limit the yield of product.

Na : NaCl

2 : 2

2.98 : 2.98

2.98 moles of NaCl are produced.
