2024.1g

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Number of moles of Na = 34.6moles

Unknown:

Mass of product formed = ?

Solution:

We must first establish the reaction equation as shown below;

2Na + Cl₂ → 2NaCl

We solve from the known to the unknown specie;

2 moles of Na produced 2 moles of NaCl

34.6moles of Na will produce 34.6moles of NaCl

Now to find the mass of NaCl;

mass = number of moles x molar mass = 34.6 x (23 + 35.5) = 2024.1g
