Stoichiometry Calculation of Sodium Chloride Production

Medium General Chemistry Stoichiometry And Chemical Reactions

Consider the following chemical reaction:

2Na + Cl2 → 2NaCl

In this reaction, sodium (Na) reacts with chlorine gas (Cl2) to produce sodium chloride (NaCl). If 5.0 grams of Na are combined with an excess of Cl2, how many grams of NaCl can be produced? (Atomic weights: Na = 23 g/mol, Cl = 35.5 g/mol)
