Answer:
22.39g of NaBr
Explanation:
First let us write a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:
2Na + Br2 —> 2NaBr
Molar Mass of Na = 23g/mol
Mass of Na from the balanced equation = 2 x 23 = 46g
Molar Mass of NaBr = 23 + 80 = 103g/mol
Mass of NaBr from the balanced equation = 2 x 103 = 206g
From the equation,
46g of Na produced 206g NaBr.
Therefore, 5g of Na will produce = (5 x 206)/46 = 22.39g of NaBr
