Question

How many grams of H,O are needed to produce 13 g of NaOH? 2 Na,O2 + 2 H20-4 NaOH + O2

Answer 1

Answer:

This is a typical stoichiometry question.To answer this question you want to get a relationship between

N

a

2

O and NaOH.

So you can get a relationship between the moles of

N

a

2

O

and moles of NaOH by the concept of stoichiometry.

N

a

2

O +

H

2

O ----------------> 2 NaOH.

According to above balanced equation we can have the stoichiometry relationship between

N

a

2

O and NaOH. as 1:2

It means 1 moles of

N

a

2

O is required to react with one mol of

H

2

O to produce 2 moles of NaOH.

in terms of mass 1 mole of

N

a

2

O has mass 62 g on reaction with water produces 2 moles of NaOH or 80 g of NaOH.

62 g of

N

a

2

O produces 80 g of NaOH.

1g of NaOH is produced from 62/80 g of

N

a

2

O

1.6 x

10

2

g of NaOH will require 62 x 1.6 x

10

2

g / 80 of

N

a

2

O

124g of

N

a

2

O.
