Balance the equation: 2Na + S --> Na2S
Using the given amount of the reactants in the reaction, calculate the amount of the product:
45.3g Na x (1 mol/22.99 g)= 1.97 mol of Na
105f S x (1 mol/ 32.06g) = 3.28 mol of S
The limiting reactant would be Na:
<span>1.97 mol Na x (1 mol Na2S/ 2 mol Na) x (78.04g/mol) = 76.87g of Na2S produced</span>
Answer:
A mixture is a physical combination of substances thus it only requires physical processes to separate. However, a compound is chemically combined and can only be separated by chemical processes. Therefore, it is much harder to separate a compound than a mixture.
