The balanced chemical reaction is:
<span>2Na + 2H2O → 2NaOH + H2
</span><span>
We first use the amount of hydrogen gas to be produced and the molar mass of the hydrogen gas to determine the amount in moles to be produced. Then, we use the relation from the reaction to relate H2 to Na.
53.2 g H2 ( 1 mol / 2.02 g ) ( 2 mol Na / 1 mol H2 ) ( 22.99 g / 1 mol ) = 1210.96 g Na
1210.96 g Na ( 1 mL / 0.97 g ) = 1248.41 mL Na needed</span>
A physical change is when something don't permanently change
