Consider the reaction between sodium metal and chlorine gas to form sodium chloride (table salt).

2Na(s) + Cl2(g) 2NaCl(s)
If 3.6 moles of chlorine react with sufficient sodium, how many grams of sodium chloride will be formed?

2 answers

It appears for each mole of chlorine, you get twice that number of moles of sodium chloride.

What is the mass of 7.2moles of NaCl?
3.6mol Cl₂ x 2mol NaCl x 58.44g NaCl = 420.78
