Sodium and chlorine word equation


Asked by maham237 @ in Chemistry viewed by 263 People


Sodium reacts with chlorine gas to form sodium chloride. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction, and find the mass of chlorine gas that will react with 96.6 g of sodium.

Answered by maham237 @



Chemical equation:
2 Na + Cl _{2}   -\ \textgreater \  2NaCl
M ( Na ) = 23 g/moles ( 2 moles Na = 46 g )
M ( Cl 2 ) = 71 g/moles ( 1 mole Cl 2 = 71 g )
so Na needs more Cl 2 to react;
96 : x = 46 : 71
46 x = 6816
x = 6816 : 46
x = 148.17 g
Answer: the mass of chlorine gas is 148.17 g.
