    Moles of NaCl formed is 6.0 moles

    Explanation:

    We are given the equation;

    2 Na (s) + Cl₂ (g) → 2 NaCl (s)

    Moles of Na is 6.0 moles Moles of Cl₂ is 4.0 moles

    From the reaction;

    2 moles of sodium reacts with 1 mole of chlorine gas to form 2 moles of NaCl

    In this case;

    6 moles of Na would require 3 moles of Cl₂, this means that chlorine gas is in excess.

    Thus, the rate limiting reagent is sodium.

    But, 2 moles of sodium reacts to form 2 moles of NaCl

    Therefore;

    Moles of NaCl = Moles of Na

    = 6.0 moles

    Thus, moles of sodium chloride produced is 6.0 moles
