VThis section also demonstrates your understanding of the experiment, through your ability to offer constructive criticism about its design and make suggestions for future experimentation. There are always ways that experiments can be improved. Now that you are a veteran of this experiment and have experience with the procedure, offer some advice to the next scientist about what you suggest and why.

Hello. You did not say what is the experiment to which this question refers, which makes it impossible for it to be answered accurately.

However, advice that should be given to anyone who should start an experiment is: establish a control treatment, provide all treatments with the same variables and the same resources, write down everything that happened in the experiment from implementation to data collection and results, make measurements and analyzes on the same date in all treatments and keep the steaks in the same environment.

nacl is added to the aqueous of what? ? in order to get a proper answer you have to specify the exact composition of the aqueous solution.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
