    Explanation:

    In this particular question, we will need to write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium and chlorine to form sodium chloride.

    Na + Cl - -> NaCl

    Hence, we can see that 1 mole of chlorine reacts with 1 mole of sodium.

    Now, we need to find the exact number of moles of chlorine atom that reacted with 14.2g of sodium. To do this, we simply divide the mass of the sodium by the atomic mass of the sodium which is 23.

    Hence, the mass of sodium reacted is 14.2/23 which equals 0.617 moles

    Simply because we have the mole ratio to be 1 to 1, it can be deduced that the number of moles of sodium reacted is also 0.617moles

    Now, to get the volume of chlorine, we can use the ideal gas equation.

    This is:

    PV = nRT

    V = nRT/P

    Given:

    v = ?

    n = number of moles = 0.617 moles in this case

    T = temperature = 45.3 + 273.15 = 318.45K

    P = Pressure = 1.72 atm = 1.72 * 101325 pa = 174,279 Pa

    R = molar gas constant = 8314.462L. Pa/K. mol

    Inserting all these into the equation will yield:

    V = (0.617 * 8314.462 * 318.45) / 174,279

    V = 9.4L
