8,486 grams. (4 sig. fig.) That's 8.486 × 10³ grams using scientific notations.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Relative atomic mass from a modern periodic table:

  • Na: 22.99;
  • S: 32.06.

Sodium is a group 1 alkali metal. It forms positive ions of charge +1.

Sulfide ion is an ion made from a single sulfur atom. Sulfur is in group 16 and is 18 - 16 = 2 electrons short of an octet. An sulfur atom would gain two electrons when it forms a sulfide ion. The charge on that ion will be -2.

Charges on the two ions balance in sodium sulfide, which is overall neutral. Two \text{Na}^{+} ions will pair up with one \text{S}^{2-} ion. This 2:1 ratio gives the formula: \text{Na}_{\bf 2}\text{S}.

{\bf2}\;\text{Na} + \text{S} \to \text{Na}_2\text{S}.

It takes two sodium atoms to form one formula unit of sodium sulfide \text{Na}_2\text{S}.

How many <em>moles</em> of sodium atoms in 5,000 grams of sodium metal?

M(\text{Na}) = 22.99\;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

n = \dfrac{m}{M} = \dfrac{5,000}{22.99} = 217.5 \;\text{mol}.

How many <em>moles</em> of sodium sulfide formula units will that 217.5 moles of Na atoms make?

In case sulfur is in excess, every two moles of Na atoms will make one formula unit of sodium sulfide. 217.5 moles of Na atoms will make 108.8 moles of sodium sulfide.

What's the mass of 108.8 moles of sodium sulfide?

Molar mass of sodium sulfide:

M(\text{Na}_2\text{S}) = {\bf 2}\;M(\text{Na}) + M(\text{S}) = 2 \times 22.33 + 32.06 = 78.04 \;\text{g}\cdot\text{mol}^{-1}.

m = n \cdot M = 108.8 \times 78.04=8.486 \times 10^{3} \;\text{g}.

Readme [11.4K]

Explanation:

Most reagent forms are going to absorb water from the air; they're called "hygroscopic".  Water presence can have a drastic impact on the experiment being performed  For fact, it increases the reagent's molecular weight, meaning that anything involving a very specific molarity (the amount of molecules in the final solution) will not function properly.

Heating will help to eliminate water, although some chemicals don't react well to heat, so it shouldn't be used for all.  A dessicated environment is simply a means to  "dry."  That allows the reagent with little water in the air to attach with.

What is the mass, in grams, of a pure gold cube that has a volume of 4.30 cm3?
umka21 [38]
The density of a pure gold is 19.32g/cm3
if the volume is 4.30 cm3 then we can calculate the mass using the formula mass=density x volume
mass=19.32*4.30
mass=83.076g
