Answer:
2,760 grams NaCl
Explanation:
To find grams of NaCl, you need to (1) convert moles of Na to moles of NaCl (via mole-to-mole ratio from reaction) and (2) convert moles of NaCl to grams (via molar mass from periodic table). The final answer should have 3 significant figures based on the given measurement.
2 Na + Cl₂ --> 2 NaCl
Molar Mass (NaCl) = 22.99 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (NaCl) = 58.44 g/mol
47.2 moles Na 2 moles NaCl 58.44 grams
---------------------- x --------------------------- x ------------------------- =
2 moles Na 1 mole NaCl
= 2,758.368 grams NaCl
= 2,760 grams NaCl
