6.0 moles of Na and 4.0 moles of Cl2 are mixed, how manu moles of NaCl in moles cane be made from this mixture

2 Na(s) + Cl2(g) —> 2 NaCl(s)

Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

Explanation:

We are given the equation;

2 Na(s) + Cl₂(g) → 2 NaCl(s)

From the reaction;

2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

In this case;

6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

Therefore;

Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

                      = 6.0 moles

Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
