<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>
The rate of evaporation will increase as well.

Answer:
1040%
Explanation:
To solve this question we must convert the mass of Iron to moles in order to find limiting reactant. With limiting reactant we can find the theoretical moles of hydrogen and theoretical mass:
Percent yield = Actual yield (5.40g) / Theoretical yield * 100
<em>Moles Fe -Molar mass: 55.845g/mol-:</em>
10.3g * (1mol / 55.845g) = 0.184 moles of Fe will react.
For a complete reaction of these moles there are necessaries:
0.184 moles Fe* ( 3 mol H2SO4 / 2 mol Fe) = 0.277 moles H2SO4.
As there are 14.8 moles of the acid, <em>Fe is limiting reasctant.</em>
The moles of H2 produced are:
0.184 moles Fe* ( 3 mol H2 / 2 mol Fe) = 0.277 moles H2
The mass is:
0.277 moles H2 * (2.016g/mol) = 0.558g H2
Percent yield is:
5.40g / 0.558g * 100 = 1040%
It is possible the experiment wasn't performed correctly
