Answer:
Sodium reacts with the oxygen in air. It reacts vigorously with oxygen and the moisture that is already present in the air and thus catches fire.
Those this is based off the equation:
pv=nrt
for the most part it is a simple equation. all you have to do is plug stuff in. however, when looking for grams it is not as clear. the thing to look at is which of these values are we missing.
p = 0.98 atm
v = 10.2 L
n = ?
r = constant value
t = 26 C or 299 K
So we are missing n. this value has the units of moles. We we know that
molar mass = grams / moles
So if we can plug in the numbers to find n, then we can use that value and the molar mass to determine the grams. so:
0.98 * 10.2 = n *0.08206 * 299
n = 0.407 moles
the molar mass of h20 is 18.0. So
grams = molar mass * moles
grams = 18 * 0.407
grams = 7.33 grams.
however since atmospheres only has 2 sig figs, so will out answer. So
g = 7.3
