Answer:

[tex]n_{Cl_2}=0.3molCl_2[/tex]

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to the given chemical reaction whereas the sodium chloride is in a 2:1 mole ratio with chlorine, the required moles of the later are computed as shown below:

[tex]n_{Cl_2}=0.6molNaCl*\frac{1molCl_2}{2molNaCl}[/tex]

So we cancel out the moles of NaCl to obtain:

[tex]n_{Cl_2}=0.3molCl_2[/tex]

Best regards!
