Table salt (NaCl) can be produced by reacting sodium metal with chlorine gas, given how explosive this reaction is nobody produces salt this way. However, a “mad scientist” wishes to obtain some salt in this manner. To perform the reaction a 750. mL flask is filled with chlorine gas at 19.7°C, until the pressure reaches 1.07 atm. To the flask a 0.975 g piece of sodium metal is added. What mass of salt will this reaction yield?
__Na(s) + __Cl2(g) → __NaCl(s)
