Solid sodium reacts violently with water producing heat hydrogen gas and sodium hydroxide How many molecules of hydrogen gas are produced when 275g of sodium ar class=

Respuesta :

.598 moles of H2

Find the balanced equation of the reaction

2Na    + 2 H2 0  ====>  2  Na OH  +  H2

27.5 gm of Na is   27.5/ 22.989 =1.196 moles

from the equation, each mole of Na produces 1/2 mole of H2

 1.196 moles * 1/2 = .598 moles of H2

Moles of sodium

  • Given mass/molar mass
  • 27.5/23
  • 1.196mol

2 mol Na produces 1 mol H2

1 mol produces 0.5mol H2

1.196 mol produces 0.598mol

No of molecules

  • 0.598×6.023×10²³
  • 3.6×10²³molecules
