Which of the following is the best definition of a physical property? A. Tearing paper in half.
B. Something that can be observed or measured while changing the identity of the substance.
C. The ability of something to undergo a change or reaction.
D. Something that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.

Something using physical property would mean you doing an action.

Explanation:

The answer is this case is A. Tearing paper in half

The others are just about "observing and/or measuring" So they are not the correct options.

D.Something that can be observed or measured without changing the identity of the substance.

given:

mass of na = 115 g

excess cl2

to determine:

mass of nacl produced

explanation:

given reaction is-

2na(s) + cl2(g) → 2nacl(s)

since cl2 is in excess, na will be the limiting reagent

as per the reaction stoichiometry na: nacl = 1: 1

i.e. moles of na reacted = moles of nacl formed

now, # moles of na = mass of na/atomic mass

                                  = 115 g/23 g.mol-1 = 5 moles

therefore, moles of nacl = 5

molar mass of nacl = 58 g/mol

mass of nacl = 5 moles * 58 g.mol-1 = 290 g

ans: amount of nacl produced = 290 g
