Chemistry
1 answer:
mario62 [17]3 years ago
3 0
The number of electrons in the outermost shell of an atom determines its reactivity. EX: noble gases have a low reactivity because they have a full electron shell, and don't need any more outermost ones.
EX: halogens are highly reactive because they readily gain an electron to fill their outermost shell

How many grams of sodium phosphate are formed by the reaction of 10 g of sodium with phosphoric acid?
Norma-Jean [14]

Answer:

23.8g of sodium phosphate are formed

Explanation:

Based on the reaction of sodium, Na, with phosphoric acid, H₃PO₄:

3Na + H₃PO₄ → Na₃PO₄ + 3/2 H₂

<em>3 moles of sodium produce 1 mole of sodium phosphate</em>

<em />

To solve this question we must find the moles of sodium in 10g. Using the chemical reaction we can find the moles -And the mass- of sodium phosphate produced, as follows:

<em>Moles Na -Molar mass: 22.99g/mol-</em>

10g * (1mol / 22.99g) = 0.435 moles Na

<em>Moles Na₃PO₄:</em>

0.435 moles Na * (1mol Na₃PO₄ / 3mol Na) = 0.145 moles Na₃PO₄

<em>Mass Na₃PO₄ -Molar mass: 163.94g/mol-</em>

0.145 moles Na₃PO₄ * (163.94g/mol) =
