Answer : 2 moles of chlorine gas will react with the 4 moles of sodium.

Solution : Given,

Moles of sodium, (Na) = 4 moles

The given balanced chemical reaction is,

\(2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)\)

From the given balanced reaction, we conclude that

As, 2 moles of sodium(Na) react with 1 moles of chlorine gas\((Cl_2)\)

So, 4 moles of sodium(Na) react with \(\frac{1}{2}\times 4=2\) moles of chlorine gas\((Cl_2)\)

Therefore, 2 moles of chlorine gas will react with the 4 moles of sodium.
