Answer:
308 moles of sodium
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the chemical reaction between sodium metal (Na) and water (H₂O) is the following:
2 Na(s) + 2 H₂O → 2 NaOH(aq) + H₂(g)
From the equation, we can see that 2 moles of Na react with 2 moles of H₂O to give 2 moles of NaOH and 1 mol of H₂ (hydrogen gas). So the stoichiometric mole ratio between Na and H₂ is: 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂. Thus, we multiply the mole ratio by the moles of H₂ to be produced to obtain the moles of Na required:
moles of Na required = 2 mol Na/1 mol H₂ x 154 moles H₂ = 308 moles Na
Therefore, 308 moles of sodium are needed to produce 154 moles of hydrogen gas.
I remember coming across this question and the options were:
KOH, HCN, NH₃, HI, Sr(OH)₂
Now, a substance with a low pH is one that dissociates completely in water to release hydrogen ions, while basic substances dissociate completely to release hydroxide ions. Therefore, in the order of increasing pH:
HI, HCN, NH₃, Sr(OH)₂, KOH
The answer is NO. During combustion of hydrogen, water is produced as an end product. The chemical formulae for combustion of hydrogen are:
2H2 + O2 -->2 H2O
another advantage is that the whole of the fuel load is combusted hence little wastage. This has made the fuel advantageous in its use as rocket fuel since there is no baggage fuel.
