Chlorine gas.
Explanation:
Hello!
In this case, the undergoing chemical reaction is:
Thus, given the moles of reacting both sodium and chlorine, we compute the moles of sodium chloride yielded by each reactant by considering the 2:2 and 1:2 mole ratios:
Thus, since chlorine yields less moles of sodium chloride, we infer it is the limiting reactant.
