What are the products in a sodium and water reaction?

When hydrogen sulfide gas is bubbled into a solution of sodium hydroxide, the reaction forms sodium sulfide and water. How many

Mumz [18]

Answer:

1.61 g Na₂S

Explanation:

To find the mass of sodium sulfide (Na₂S) generated from hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH), you need to (1) construct the balanced chemical equation, then (2) calculate the molar masses of each molecule involved, then (3) convert grams of each reagent to grams of the product (via the molar masses and mole-to-mole ratio from equation coefficients), and then (4) determine the limiting reagent and final answer. It is important to arrange the conversions in a way that allows for the cancellation of units (the desired unit should be in the numerator).

(Step 1)

The unbalanced equation:

H₂S + NaOH ---> Na₂S + H₂O

Reactants: 3 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 1 sodium, 1 oxygen

Products: 2 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 1 oxygen

The balanced equation:

H₂S + 2 NaOH ---> Na₂S + 2 H₂O

Reactants: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium 2 oxygen

Products: 4 hydrogen, 1 sulfur, 2 sodium, 4 oxygen

(Step 2)

Molar Mass (H₂S): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂S): 34.081 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 22.990 g/mol + 15.998 g/mol + 1.008 g/mol

Molar Mass (NaOH): 39.998 g/mol

Molar Mass (Na₂S): 2(22.990 g/mol) + 32.065 g/mol

Molar Mass (Na₂S): 78.045 g/mol

(Step 3)

1.50 g H₂S 1 mole 1 mole Na₂S 78.045 g
----------------- x ---------------- x -------------------- x ----------------- =
34.081 g 1 mole H₂S 1 mole

= 3.43 g Na₂S

1.65 g NaOH 1 mole 1 mole Na₂S 78.045 g
-------------------- x ---------------- x ----------------------- x ---------------- =
39.998 g 2 moles NaOH 1 mole

= 1.61 g Na₂S

(Step 4)

Because NaOH generates less product, it will run out before all of the H₂S is used. This makes NaOH the limiting reagent and the final answer 1.61 grams Na₂S.

How can substances in a compound and in a mixture be separated?

Ray Of Light [21]

A chemical reaction is required to separate the substances in a compound. The components of a mixture can be separated based on their physical properties using techniques like filtration or distillation.

What effect does light have on plant growth?

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Explanation:

Light intensity influences the manufacture of plant food, stem length, leaf color and flowering. Generally speaking, plants grown in low light tend to be spindly with light green leaves. A similar plant grown in very bright light tends to be shorter, better branches, and have larger, dark green leaves.

The question is in the picture below

Rus_ich [418]

Answer:

$\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3$

Explanation:

Hess's Law of Constant Heat Summation states that if a chemical equation can be written as the sum of several other chemical equations, the enthalpy change of the first chemical equation is equal to the sum of the enthalpy changes of the other chemical equations. Thus, the reaction that involves the conversion of reactant A to B, for example, has the same enthalpy change even if you convert A to C, before converting it to B. Regardless of how many steps it takes for the reactant to be converted to the product, the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is constant.

With Hess's Law in mind, let's see how A can be converted to 2C +E.

$\bf{\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{B}}$ (Δ $\text{H}_1$ ) -----(1)

Since we have 2B, multiply the whole of II. by 2:

$\bf{2\text{B} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}}$ (2Δ $\text{H}_2$ ) -----(2)

This step converts all the B intermediates to 2C +2D. This means that the overall reaction at this stage is $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +2\text{D}$ .

Reversing III. gives us a negative enthalpy change as such:

$\bf{2\text{D} \rightarrow \text{E}}$ (-Δ $\text{H}_3$ ) -----(3)

This step converts all the D intermediates formed from step (2) to E. This results in the overall equation of $\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C} +\text{E}$ , which is also the equation of interest.

Adding all three together:

$\text{A} \rightarrow 2\text{C}+\text{E}$ ( $\bf{\Delta\text{H}_1+2\Delta\text{H}_2-\Delta\text{H}_3 }$ )

Thus, the first option is the correct answer.
