Answer:
mass of sodium reacted is 184.1 g
Explanation:
mass Na = X = ?
∴ mass NaCl = 468 g
∴ mass Cl = 0.248 g
∴ molar mass NaCl = 58.44 g/mol
∴ atomic mass Cl = 35.453 a.m.u
∴ atomic mass Na = 22.989 a.m.u
⇒ moles Na = (X gNa)*(mol Na/22.989 g) = X/22.989 mol Na
⇒ mass NaCl = (X/22.989 mol Na)*(mol NaCl/mol Na)*(58.44 gNaCl/mol NaCl) = 468 g NaCl
clearing "X":
⇒ ((58.44)(X))/(22.989) = 468 g
⇒ X = 184.1 g = mass Na reacted
