Question

If 76g of sodium reacts with chlorine to produce 214g of sodium chloride, how many grams of chlorine reacted?

need help

Answer 1

138 g of chlorine is required to produce 214 g of sodium chloride if we have 76 g of sodium.

Explanation:

We are given:

Grams of Sodium = 76 g

Grams of Sodium Chloride = 214 g

We need to find how many grams of chlorine required to produce 214 g of sodium chloride

The equation will be:

`Na \ + \ Cl \ -> NaCl\\76\ g \ \ \ x \ g \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ 214 g`

We can write: 76 (g) + x (g)=214 (g)

Solving and finding value of x

x =214-76

x=138 g

So, 138 g of chlorine is required to produce 214 g of sodium chloride if we have 76 g of sodium.
