it would be 20 grams because according to the law of conservation of mass, the mass of your reactants is equal to the mass of your products

16.479 grams of the sodium chloride produced when 10.0 g of sodium react with 10.0 g of chlorine gas. according to the equation.

What is chemical equation?

A chemical equation is a method of representing a symbols and formulas of substance involved in this equation.

For example: zinc metal reacts with dilute sulfuric acid to form zinc sulfate and hydrogen gas.

Equation: 2Na +Cl₂=2NaCl

  • Molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol
  • 2 moles of Na = 2 x 23 = 46g
  • Molar mass of Cl₂ = 35.5 x 2 = 71g/mol
  • 1 moles of Cl₂ = 1 x 71 = 71g

Let assume X is a gram of chlorine gas evolved.

So, 10.0 g of sodium in 46g and x g of chlorine gas in 71g

10/46 = X/71

X = 10 x 71 / 46 = 15.43 (this means sodium is in excess)

  • Molar mass of NaCl is 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol
  • So, 2 moles of NaCl = 2 x 58.5 = 117g

10g of (Cl₂) - X g of (NaCl)

71g (Cl₂) - 117g (NaCl)

X = 10 x 117 / 71 = 16.479 g

16.479 grams of the sodium chloride produced when 10.0 g of sodium react with 10.0 g of chlorine gas. according to the equation.
