<span>this is a limiting reagent problem.
first, balance the equation
4Na+ O2 ---> 2Na2O
use both the mass of Na and mass of O2 to figure out how much possible Na2O you could make.
start with Na and go to grams of Na2O
55.3 gNa x (1molNa/23.0gNa) x (2 molNa2O/4 molNa) x (62.0gNa2O/1molNa2O) = 75.5 gNa2O
do the same with O2
64.3 gO2 x (1 molO2/32.0gO2) x (2 molNa2O/1 mol O2) x (62.0gNa2O/1molNa2O) = 249.2 g Na2O
now you must pick the least amount of Na2O for the one that you actually get in the reaction. This is because you have to have both reacts still present for a reaction to occur. So after the Na runs out when it makes 75.5 gNa2O with O2, the reaction stops.
So, the mass of sodium oxide is
75.5 g</span>
Answer:
I don't see a specific question, so I'll make a few comments and hope that answers the reason for the post.
Explanation:
Zinc(Zn) does react with iron chloride, since zinc is a more reactive metal than the iron.
When Zn is introduced to an iron (III) chloride solution, the Zn disoplaces the Fe atom in a displacement reaction.
The chemical equation of the reaction:
Zn + Fe(III)Cl3 → ZnCl3 + Fe
Energy is often realeased in this type of reaction, since the resulting chemical products have a lower energy that the reactants.
There are several metals more reactive than iron. One of the more interesting examples of a highly exothermic reaction with iron chloride (rust) is the reaction of aluminum with iron chloride. `This is highly exothermic and is labelled a thermite reaction. It provides a spectacular flame that is not enough to weld railroad tracks together.
It’s because new discoveries are made all the time sometimes what was considered right may be found out to be wrong
