The chemical reaction would be as follows:
<span>2Na + S → Na2S
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used in the reaction. We use these to calculate the amount of product. We do as follows:
45.3 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 g ) = 1.97 mol Na
105 g S ( 1 mol / 32.06 g ) = 3.28 mol S
The limiting reactant would be Na. We calculate as follows:
1.97 mol Na ( 1 mol Na2S / 2 mol Na ) (78.04 g / mol ) = 76.87 g Na2S produced</span>
Answer:
The pH of a solution is a measure of the molar concentration of hydrogen ions in the solution and as such is a measure of the acidity or basicity of the solution.
