Just under 1200*g1200g of salt would result....

Explanation:

We write the stoichiometric equation...

Na(s)+1/2Cl_2(g) rarr NaCl(s)Na(s)+12Cl2(g)NaCl(s)

And so with respect to each equiv of dichlorine gas we GETS 2 equiv of salt...and since we used 10*mol10mol Cl_2Cl2 we get approx. 20*mol20mol salt...

Thus 20*molxx58.44*g*mol^-1=??*g20mol×58.44gmol1=??g...
