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.

please help im very confused on how to do this, please include steps on how you did this, thx

the seeing the electronic configuration we can say that the element is fluorine.

fluorine is the most electronegative element in the periodic table.

but by only seeing the configuration we cannot say about its reactivity because we don't know if its configuration after excitation or by addition of electrons.

but if not then, it is the lightest halogen and exists as a highly toxic pale yellow diatomic gas at standard conditions. as the most electronegative element, it is extremely reactive: almost all other elements, including some noble gases, form compounds with fluorine.
