Astudent performed a chemical reaction in which 46 grams of sodium and grams of chlorine were combined to form 117 grams of table salt and heat. what is the mass of the chlorine in the reactants? (answer with a number)

The answer to your question is: 71 g of Chlorine

Explanation:

Na = 46 g

Cl = ?

NaCl = 117 g

Equation

                      2 Na     +     Cl₂   ⇒   2 NaCl          

                      46g              X              117g

If we consider the law of conservation of matter, we know that the mass of the reactants equals the mass of the products, then

                    mass Na + mass Cl₂  = mass NaCl

                     46 g + X = 117

                     X = 117 - 46

                    x = 71 g of Chlorine        

sorry i was late, but i don't know what assignment your talking about, i'm in flvs as well, im in earth space science. but u are behind pace bc every class should be in the 3's or 4'
