Answer:
The answer to your question is 1.46 g of Cl₂
Explanation:
Data
mass of Cl₂ = ?
mass of NaCl = 2.4 g
Chemical reaction
2Na + Cl₂ ⇒ 2NaCl
Process
1.- Calculate the molar mass of chlorine and sodium chloride
Molar mass Cl₂ = 2 x 35.5 = 71 g
Molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 g
2.- Use proportions to solve this problem
71g of Cl₂ --------------------- 2(58.5g) NaCl
x --------------------- 2.4 g
x = (2.4 x 71) / 2(58.5)
x = 170.4 / 117
x = 1.46 g of Cl
