If a tumor of the glucocorticoid-secreting cells of the adrenal cortex crowds out the cells that produce aldosterone what is the likely effect on urine composition and volume?

The tumor would cause increased secretion of glucocorticoids and decreased aldosterone production, leading to increased sodium and water retention in the kidneys. This would result in increased urine volume and decreased urine concentration, leading to dilute urine with low sodium levels.

Which hormone limits sodium excretion in the urine to help maintain your electrolyte balances during excessive sweating?

Aldosterone is the hormone that limits sodium excretion in the urine. It is released by the adrenal glands in response to low blood pressure or low blood sodium levels. Aldosterone acts on the kidneys to increase the reabsorption of sodium and water, helping to maintain electrolyte balance during excessive sweating.
