How many grams of sodium sulfide can be produced when 45.3 g Na react with 105 g S?

1 answer:

8 0

The chemical reaction would be as follows:

<span>2Na + S → Na2S

We are given the amount of the reactants to be used in the reaction. We use these to calculate the amount of product. We do as follows:

45.3 g Na ( 1 mol / 22.99 g ) = 1.97 mol Na
105 g S ( 1 mol / 32.06 g ) = 3.28 mol S

The limiting reactant would be Na. We calculate as follows:

1.97 mol Na ( 1 mol Na2S / 2 mol Na ) (78.04 g / mol ) = 76.87 g Na2S produced</span>

Why can some metals be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon and why can some not

pentagon [3]

Answer:

Some metals can be extracted from compounds by heating with carbon atom because they are less reactive than carbon and some metals cannot be extracted because they are more reactive than carbon atom.

Explanation: If the metal is less reactive than carbon atom so the carbon atoms make bond with oxide or other atom present with metal and the metal is free from that oxide or that element. But if the reactivity of metal is higher than carbon is unable to remove the oxide or element.

An unknown compound contains 38.7 % calcium, 19.9 % phosphorus and 41.2 % oxygen. what is the empirical formula of this compound

Softa [21]

Answer: Ca3(PO4)2

Explanation:

We assume that the sample is 100.0 g.

The sample contains 38.7 g of Ca, 19.9 g of P, and 41.2 g of O as the proportions show.

Then we can calculate the number of moles of each component (n = m/atomic mass).

The number of moles of Ca = 38.7/40.078 = 0.96 mol.

The number of moles of P = 19.9/30.97 = 0.64 mol.

The number of moles of O = 41.2/15.99 = 2.75 mol.

Now, we can get the molar ratios of different components (Ca, P, and O) in the sample by dividing the number of moles of each component by the lower number of moles, that we should divide the number of moles by (0.64).

Ca: P: O = (0.96/0.64) : (0.64/0.64) : (2.75/0.64) = 1.5 : 1 : 4.

To avoid the fraction of the ratios, we can multiply all ratios by 2.0.

Now, the ratio of Ca : P : O will be 3 : 2 : 8.

That main the empirical formula of the compound is Ca3P2O8 which can be expressed as calcium phosphate (Ca3(PO4)2).
