HELP! NaCl is made from 1 Na and 1 Cl. If I have 45.978 grams of Na, how many grams of NaCl can I make? (You will have to convert to moles of Na first!)
explain answer​

116.88 g

Explanation:

Step 1: Write the balanced equation for the synthesis of NaCl

Na + 1/2 Cl₂ ⇒ NaCl

Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 45.978 g of Na

The molar mass of Na is 22.990 g/mol.

45.978 g × 1 mol/22.990 g = 1.9999 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of moles of NaCl formed from 1.9999 moles of Na

The molar ratio of Na to NaCl is 1:1. The moles of NaCl formed are 1/1 × 1.9999 mol  = 1.9999 mol.

Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 1.9999 moles of NaCl

The molar mass of NaCl is 58.443 g/mol.

1.9999 mol × 58.443 g/mol = 116.88 g

no but i do not usually comment or use my voice that much when it comes to social media

the answer is c i believe
