The reaction between N₂ and F₂ gives Nitrogen trifluoride as the product. The balanced equation is;
N₂ + 3F₂ → 2NF₃
The stoichiometric ratio between N₂ and NF₃ is 1 : 2
Hence,
moles of N₂ / moles of F₂ = 1 / 2
moles of N₂ / 25 mol = 0.5
moles of N₂ = 0.5 x 25 mol = 12.5 mol
Hence N₂ moles needed = 12.5 mol
At STP (273 K and 1 atm) 1 mol of gas = 22.4 L
Hence needed N₂ volume = 22.4 L mol⁻¹ x 12.5 mol
= 280 L
The balanced reaction is as below
3A₂B + 2DC₃→ 6 AC + D₂B₃
The number that must be to the left of AC is 6
Explanation
- According to the law of mass conservation , the number of atoms in reactant side must be equal to number to the number of atoms in product side.
- Therefore the equation above is balance since it obey the law of mass conservation.
- For example there is 6 atoms of A in reactant side and 6 in product side.
Zero (0) molecules of glucose are produced.
Reaction of sodium with water
Sodium metal reacts rapidly with water to form a colourless solution of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) and hydrogen gas (H2). The resulting solution is basic because of the dissolved hydroxide. The reaction is exothermic. During the reaction, the sodium metal may well become so hot that it catches fire and burns with a characteristic orange colour. The reaction is slower than that of potassium (immediately below sodium in the periodic table), but faster than that of lithium (immediately above sodium in the periodic table).
2Na(s) + 2H2O → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
