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 29.22 amu 29.22 amu 58.44 amu 58.44 amu 60 amu 60 amu 116.88 amu

Answer 1

According to the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the reactants must equal the total mass of the products in a chemical reaction. In this case, if the total mass of the reactants is 58.44 amu, the total mass of the products will also be 58.44 amu.

So, the correct answer is 58.44 amu.
