Ammonia gas reacts with sodium metal to form sodium amide (NaNH2) and hydrogen gas. The unbalanced chemical equation for this reaction is given below: NH3(g) + Na(s) → NaNH2(s) + H2(g) Assuming that you start with 24.7 g of ammonia gas and 11.6 g of sodium metal and assuming that the reaction goes to completion, determine the mass (in grams) of each product.
