nmdcat.online July 2, 2026

The mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) produced when 0.5 moles of sodium react completely with excess chlorine gas according to 2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl is (Na = 23, Cl = 35.5)

A. 58.5 g
B. 29.25 g
C. 117 g
D. 14.625 g

📝 Explanation

The mole ratio Na : NaCl is 1:1. Therefore, 0.5 moles of Na produce 0.5 moles of NaCl. Mass = 0.5 × 58.5 = 29.25 g.

📖 Additional Information
