  1. given:

    mass of na = 115 g

    excess cl2

    to determine:

    mass of nacl produced

    explanation:

    given reaction is-

    2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

    since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

    as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

    i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

    now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                      = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

    therefore, moles of nacl = 5

    molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

    mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

    ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
