Correctly order the steps necessary to calculate the mass of product formed in a chemical reaction, given the masses of all reactants. Start with the first step at the top of the list ↑↓ Place these in the proper order.
1. Identify the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of product.
2. Determine the amount of product that could be formed from each reactant using the appropriate mole ratios.
3. To find the mass, multiply the number of moles of product formed (from the limiting reactant) by the molar mass of the product.
4. Determine the moles of each reactant present by dividing its mass by its molar mass

Explanation:

Correct order is as follows .

1 ) Determine the moles of each reactant present by dividing its mass by its molar mass

2 ) Determine the amount of product that could be formed from each reactant using the appropriate mole ratios.

3 ) Identify the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of product.

4 )  To find the mass, multiply the number of moles of product formed (from the limiting reactant) by the molar mass of the product.

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is and electronic configuration of phosphorous is .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.  

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.
