Answer:

236.02 grams of Na is produced by 600g of NaCl.

Explanation:

NaCl --> Na+Cl-

to find the number of moles NaCl has, divide the grams over the molar mass which is 600/58.44

number of moles of nacl= 10.2 moles

then turn moles back to grams which is moles x molar mass

10.2 moles x 22.9 mass

= 236.02 grams
