Question
2 NA+Cl2->NaCl is the balanced reaction for the formation of table salt. Given 20 grams of Na and 10 grams of Cl2, which reactant is in excess? How much NaCl should be produced from these amounts of the two reactants? If you could do it like how I’m being taught in class in this separate problem it would be much appreciated and would help me understand better
Answer:

= 12.7 g Ag
20 g AgNO3 x
169.8 g AGNO3
The silver nitrate is the limiting reagent since it will only produce 12.7 g of Ag.
Now, you only weighed out 5 grams of silver after your experiment, but, theoretically, yo
below to calculate the percent yield.
