What is the mass of NaCl produced when 2.0 moles of chlorine gas are reacted with excess sodium? The equation is given.
2 Na + Cl2 → 2 NaCl

Mass = 234 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of NaCl produced = ?

Moles of chlorine = 2.0 mol

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2Na + Cl₂    →     2NaCl

now we will compare the moles of NaCl with chlorine gas.

           Cl₂           :          NaCl

             1            :           2

            2.0         :         2/1×2.0 = 4.0 mol

Mass of NaCl;

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 4.0 mol × 58.5 g/mol

Mass = 234 g

the answer is definitely c.

nacl or sodium chloride is an ionic compound. this is because an ionic compound pertains to a compound that consists of positively and negatively charged ions. in this case, na (sodium) has a tendency to lose one electron when it reacts with with other atoms, so the resulting sodium ion contains 11 protons and 10 electrons, thus making it positively charged (na+), when chlorine reacts, it usually gains one electron to form an ion called chloride, thus making it negatively charged ( since the ions are oppositely charged, they attract.
