Answer:
1116 g.
Explanation:
The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:
4Na + O₂ —> 2Na₂O
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.
Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:
From the balanced equation above,
1 mole of O₂ reacted to produce 2 moles of Na₂O.
Therefore, 9 moles of O₂ will react to produce = 9 × 2 = 18 moles of Na₂O.
Finally, we shall determine the mass in 18 moles of Na₂O. This can be obtained as follow:
Mole of Na₂O = 18 moles
Molar mass of Na₂O = (23×2) + 16
= 46 + 16
= 62 g/mol
Mass of Na₂O =?
Mass = mole × molar mass
Mass of Na₂O = 18 × 62
Mass of Na₂O = 1116 g
Thus, the theoretical yield of Na₂O is 1116 g.
