What mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) is produced when chlorine gas (Cl2) reacts with 0.29 grams of sodium iodide (NaI)? The balanced equation is given below:
2 NaI (s) + 1 Cl2 (g) - 2 NaCl (s) + 1 I2 (g)

Convert the masses into number of moles. Then use the principle of equivalence to figure out the number of moles of products formed. Then use the definition of mole to find mass of NaCl formed.
