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

water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas. What was the initial quantity of sodium metal used if 7.80 liters of H2 gas were produced at STP?

 From the equation it is evident that 2 moles of Sodium metal produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas.

At STP 1mole of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 liters.

Therefore, 7.80 gives---(7.80×1)/22.4  moles= 0.3482 moles

Since the mole ratio of Sodium to hydrogen is 2:1, then the number of moles of sodium that reacted is given by the following expression.

(0.3482×2)/1 moles which gives 0.6964 moles.

The atomic mass of  sodium is 23 thus the mass of sodium that reacted is given by:

mass=no. of moles×RAM

0.6964×23= 16.02 grams.

steposvetlana [31]

Answer: Type of Chemical Reaction: For this reaction we have a combination reaction. Balancing Strategies: When we add zinc to hydrochloric acid we end up with zinc chloride, a salt, and hydrogen gas. This reaction is actually a good way to make hydrogen gas in the lab.

´ Identify the independent, dependent, and controlled variables in your experiment which is how does adding salt affect the free
Margaret [11]
<span>An independent variable is a variable that is not affected in the experiment. It is what experimenter controls. Here, the concentration of salt is the independent variable.
On the other side, a dependent variable is called dependent because it depends on the independent variables. It is what is affected and observed during the experiment. Here, the freezing point of water is affected and, thus, it is the dependent variable.
A controlled variable is a variable that must remain unchanged (must be constant) during the experiment so that the effect on the dependent variable depends only on the independent variable. Here, the volume of water must be constant, so it is the controlled variable.
