  • Calculating NaCl Production from Chlorine: A Step-by-Step Guide
    Here's how to solve this problem:

    1. Balanced Chemical Equation:

    The reaction we're considering is the formation of sodium chloride (NaCl) from sodium (Na) and chlorine (Cl₂):

    2 Na + Cl₂ → 2 NaCl

    2. Mole Ratio:

    The balanced equation shows that 1 mole of Cl₂ produces 2 moles of NaCl.

    3. Calculation:

    * Since we have 6.2 mol of Cl₂, we need to consider that the equation uses Cl₂, not individual Cl atoms. We can assume that the Cl is in the form of Cl₂.

    * Using the mole ratio from the balanced equation, we can calculate the moles of NaCl:

    (6.2 mol Cl₂) * (2 mol NaCl / 1 mol Cl₂) = 12.4 mol NaCl

    Therefore, 12.4 moles of NaCl can be produced from 6.2 moles of Cl₂.
