    The chemical reaction would be written as:

    2Na + Cl2 = 2NaCl

    Since we are given the amounts of the reactants available for reaction, we have to determine the limiting reactant. And use this amount to calculate for the theoretical yield.

    55 g Na (1 mol / 22.99 g) = 2.39 mol Na

    67.2 f Cl2 (1 mol / 70.9 g) = 0.95 mol Cl2

    Therefore, the limiting reactant would be Cl2 since it is the one consumed completely.

    0.95 Cl2 (1 mol NaCl / 1 mol Cl2) = 0.95 NaCl produced from the reaction
