A way to explain it is that back then all the continents were together but soon after drifted apart the were in the same place sort of put they drifted apart so that's sorta what happened. Hope that helps a little

By the stoichiometry of this reaction if 5 mol natrium react, then 2.5 mol

So what have I done here? First, I had a balanced chemical equation (this is the important step; is it balanced?). Then I used the stoichiometry to get the molar quantity of product, and converted this molar quantity to mass. If this is not clear, I am willing to have another go
Acc. to Law of Conservation of Mass
Mass of reactants=Mass of Products
Let mass of Oxygen be x.
So,
50.6+x=452
x=452-50.6
=401.4 g
You need to look at the electronegativity and decide wheter the difference of both of the numbers are significant enough to form a polar bond
