Read the given equation. 2Na + 2H2O ? 2NaOH + H2 During a laboratory experiment, a certain quantity of sodium metal reacted with

emmasim [6.3K]

Answer:

The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = 0.70 mol.

The quantity of Na metal used initially to produce 7.80 of H₂ gas = 16.02 g.

Explanation:

It is a stichiometry problem.

2Na + 2H₂O → 2NaOH + H₂,

The balanced equation shows that 2.0 moles of Na metal react with 2.0 moles of water to produce 2.0 moles of NaOH and 1.0 mole of H₂,

Firstly, we need to convert the volume of H₂ (7.80 L) produced to no. of moles (n) using the ideal gas law: PV = nRT,

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm (P at STP = 1.0 atm),

V is the volume of the gas in L (V = 7.80 L),

n is the number of moles in mole,

R is the general gas constant (R = 0.082 L.atm/mol),

T is the temperature of the gas in K (T at STP = 0.0 °C + 273 = 273.0 K).

∴ The number of moles of H₂ gas (n) = PV / RT = [(1.0 atm)(7.80 L)] / [(0.082 L.atm/mol.K)(273.0 K)] = 0.35 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

2.0 moles of Na will produce → 1.0 mole of H₂, from the stichiometrey.

??? moles of Na will produce → 0.35 mole of H₂.

∴ The number of moles of Na metal that used initially = (2.0 mol)(0.35 mol) / (1.0 mol) = 0.70 mol.

Now, we can get the quantity of Na metal using the relation:

∴ mass = n x molar mass = (0.70 mol)(22.989 g/mol) = 16.02 g.

The town of Natrium, West Virginia, derives its name from the sodium produced in the electrolysis of molten sodium chloride (NaC

Alona [7]

Explanation:

The reaction equation will be as follows.

$Na^{+} + e^{-} \rightarrow Na(s)$

Hence, moles of Na = moles of electron used

Therefore, calculate the number of moles of sodium as follows.

No. of moles = $\frac{mass}{\text{molar mass}}$

= $\frac{4500 g}{23 g/mol}$ (as 1 kg = 1000 g)

= 195.65 mol

As, Q = $n \times F$ where F = Faraday's constant

= $195.65 mol \times 96500 C$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7}$ mol C

Relation between electrical energy and Q is as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

Hence, putting the given values into the above formula and then calculate the value of electricity as follows.

E = $Q \times V$

= $1.88 \times 10^{7} \times 5$

= $9.4 \times 10^{7} J$

As 1 J = $2.77 \times 10^{-7}$ kWh

Hence, $\frac{9.4 \times 10^{7}}{2.77 \times 10^{-7}}$ kWh

= 3.39 kWh

Thus, we can conclude that 3.39 kilowatt-hours of electricity is required in the given situation.
