2 Na + Cl2 --> 2 NaCl. In an experiment, 36.9 g of sodium chloride …
The actual yield is the amount of product actually produced in the laboratory during the reaction. Looking at the reaction, 2 Na + Cl2 --> 2 NaCl, we can see that the molar ratio of sodium (Na) to sodium chloride (NaCl) is 1:1. The atomic weight of sodium (Na) is approximately 23g, so if we have 15.9g of Na and its molar mass is 23g/mol, we …
