Sodium reacts with chlorine to form the compound sodium chloride, or salt. The chemical formula below shows how the two elements combine into a compound. 2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl If the total mass of the reactants is 58.44 amu, what will be the total mass of the products? (1 point) Responses 60 amu 60 amu 29.22 amu 29.22 amu 58.44 amu 58.44 amu 116.88 amu
1 answer
According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants in a chemical reaction is equal to the total mass of the products. In this case, since the total mass of the reactants is given as 58.44 amu, the total mass of the products will also be 58.44 amu.
So the correct answer is: 58.44 amu.
