Question

A chemist reacted 57.50 grams of sodium metal with an excess amount of chlorine gas. The chemical reaction that occurred is shown.
Na + Cl2 → NaCl

If the percentage yield of the reaction is 86%, what is the actual yield? Show your work, including the use of stoichiometric calculations and conversion factors

Answer 1

(On my left) (On my right side)
Na: 1. Na:1
Cl:2. Cl:1

Na:1 x 2 =2
Na:1 x 2=2
Cl: 1 x 2 = 2

Answer:
2Na + Cl2 -> 2NaCl
