Identify the mole ratio of water to sodium metal? Determine the number of moles of Sodium that reacted and determine the number
1 answer:
Number of moles of sodium reacted is 2 moles. 0.04598 Kg is the mass of sodium that reacted.
Mole fraction is 1 mole ratio is 1:1
Explanation:
Balanced chemical reaction:
2 Na + 2H20 ⇒ 2NaOH + H2 (gas)
atomic mass of sodium = 22.99 g/mol
from the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of sodium reacted to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide soluition.
The mass of sodium reacted can be calculated from the formula:
mass = atomic mass of one mole x number of moles
mass = 22.99 x 2
= 45.98 grams is the mass of sodium, to convert it into kilograms it is divided by 1000
= 0.04598 Kg is the mass of sodium that reacted.
Mole fraction formula is:
= mole fraction ( solute Na = 2 moles, solution is NaOH =2 moles)
putting the values:
= 1 mole ratio is 1:1

Answer:
A. for K>>1 you can say that the reaction is nearly irreversible so the forward direction is favored. (Products formation)
B. When the temperature rises the equilibrium is going to change but to know how is going to change you have to take into account the kind of reaction. For endothermic reactions (the reverse reaction is favored) and for exothermic reactions (the forward reaction is favored)
Explanation:
A. The equilibrium constant K is defined as
In any case
aA +Bb equilibrium Cd +dD
where K is:
[] is molar concentration.
If K>>> 1 it means that the molar concentration of products is a lot bigger that the molar concentration of reagents, so the forward reaction is favored.
B. The relation between K and temperature is given by the Van't Hoff equation
Where: H is reaction enthalpy, R is the gas constant and T temperature.
Clearing the equation for we get:
Here we can study two cases: when delta is positive (exothermic reactions) and when is negative (endothermic reactions)
For exothermic reactions when we increase the temperature the denominator in the equation would have a negative exponent so is greater that
and the forward reaction is favored.
When we have an endothermic reaction we will have a positive exponent so will be less than
the forward reactions is not favored.
