Question

Given the balanced equation representing a reaction: 2NaCl -> 2Na + Cl2 A 1170. gram sample of NaCl completely reacts, producing 460. grams of Na. What is the total mass of Cl2 produced?

Answer 1

710.g

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer 2

Given the stoichiometric equation above and the amount of NaCl needed to produce the products, we can determine the amount of products produced. A 1170 gram NaCl using stoich produces 460 grams Na. This means the reaction makes a 100% conversion after. So, the amount of Cl2 produced from stoich is 709.61 grams.
