3. After 7.9 grams of sodium are dropped into a bathtub full of water, how many grams of hydrogen gas are released?

Pavel [41]

Answer:

3) About 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas.

4) About 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide.

Explanation:

Question 3)

We are given that 7.9 grams of sodium is dropped into a bathtub of water, and we want to determine how many grams of hydrogen gas is released.

Since sodium is higher than hydrogen on the activity series, sodium will replace hydrogen in a single-replacement reaction for sodium oxide. Hence, our equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To balance it, we can simply add another sodium atom on the left. Hence:

$\displaystyle 2\text{Na} + \text{H$_2$O}\rightarrow \text{Na$_2$O}+\text{H$_2$}$

To convert from grams of sodium to grams of hydrogen gas, we can convert from sodium to moles of sodium, use the mole ratios to find moles in hydrogen gas, and then use hydrogen's molar mass to find its amount in grams.

The molar mass of sodium is 22.990 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}$

From the chemical equation, we can see that two moles of sodium produce one mole of hydrogen gas. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}$

And the molar mass of hydrogen gas is 2.016 g/mol. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Given the initial value and the above ratios, this yields:

$\displaystyle 7.9\text{ g Na}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Na}}{22.990 \text{ g Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}{2\text{ mol Na}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1\text{ mol H$_2$}}$

Cancel like units:

$=\displaystyle 7.9\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{22.990}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{2}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2.016\text{ g H$_2$}}{1}$

Multiply. Hence:

$=0.3463...\text{ g H$_2$}$

Since we should have two significant values:

$=0.35\text{ g H$_2$}$

So, about 0.35 grams of hydrogen gas will be released.

Question 4)

Excess oxygen gas is added to 34.5 grams of aluminum and produces aluminum oxide. Hence, our chemical equation is:

$\displaystyle \text{O$_2$} + \text{Al} \rightarrow \text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To balance this, we can place a three in front of the oxygen, four in front of aluminum, and two in front of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle3\text{O$_2$} + 4\text{Al} \rightarrow 2\text{Al$_2$O$_3$}$

To convert from grams of aluminum to grams of aluminum oxide, we can convert aluminum to moles, use the mole ratios to find the moles of aluminum oxide, and then use its molar mass to determine the amount of grams.

The molar mass of aluminum is 26.982 g/mol. Thus:

$\displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}$

According to the equation, four moles of aluminum produces two moles of aluminum oxide. Hence:

$\displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}$

And the molar mass of aluminum oxide is 101.961 g/mol. Hence: $\displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Using the given value and the above ratios, we acquire:

$\displaystyle 34.5\text{ g Al}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1\text{ mol Al}}{26.982 \text{ g Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}{4\text{ mol Al}}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1\text{ mol Al$_2$O$_3$}}$

Cancel like units:

$\displaystyle= \displaystyle 34.5\cdot \displaystyle \frac{1}{26.982}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{2}{4}\cdot \displaystyle \frac{101.961\text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}}{1}$

Multiply:

$\displaystyle = 65.1852... \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}$

Since the resulting value should have three significant figures:

$\displaystyle = 65.2 \text{ g Al$_2$O$_3$}$

So, approximately 65.2 grams of aluminum oxide is produced.

Which of the following is the best name for a compound made from nitrogen and oxygen? (N2O3) nitrogen oxide nitrogen II oxide ni

sergejj [24]

The best name for the compound is DINITROGEN TRIOXIDE.

Each chemical compound is always represented by a chemical symbol, which shows the ratio at which each atom of the elements of the compound are combine together and this is often used in naming the compound. Looking at the compound given in the question, the compound is made up of two atoms of nitrogen and three atoms of oxygen and this fact was used in naming the compound. In naming chemical compounds, 'Di' stands for 2 while 'Tri' stands for 3. Since there are two nitrogen and three oxygen atoms in the compound, that was why it was named dinitrogen trioxide.
