    16.95 g of LiCl and 28.4 g of Na₂SO₄.

    Explanation:

    The reaction between NaCl and Li₂SO₄ is represented as:

    2NaCl + Li₂SO₄ → 2LiCl + Na₂SO₄.

    it is clear that 2.0 moles of NaCl react with 1.0 mole of Li₂SO₄ to produce 2.0 mole of LiCl and 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄. We need to calculate the no. of moles of NaCl (23.45 g) and Li₂SO₄ (56.23 g) using the relation:

    n = mass/molar mass,

    n of NaCl = mass/molar mass = (23.45 g) / (58.44 g/mol) = 0.40 mol.

    n of Li₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (56.23 g) / (109.94 g/mol) = 0.51 mol.

    Since, every 1.0 mole of Li₂SO₄ reacts with 2.0 moles of NaCl, so 0.2 mole of Li₂SO₄ will react with 0.4 mol of NaCl.

    ∴ NaCl is the limiting reactant and Li₂SO₄ is in excess.

    So, the products will be LiCl (0.4 mol) and Na₂SO₄ (0.2 mol). Now, we can get the masses of each product using the relation:

    mass = n x molar mass.

    ∴ mass of LiCl = n x molar mass = (0.4 mol) (42.394 g/mol) = 16.95 g.

    ∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ = n x molar mass = (0.2 mol) (142.04 g/mol) = 28.4 g.
