Answer:
4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium
Explanation:
By stoichiometry of the reaction (that is, the relationship between the amount of reagents and products in a chemical reaction) you can see that the following amounts in moles of each compound react and are produced:
- HCl: 2 moles
- Na: 1 mole
- NaCl: 2 moles
- H₂: 1 mole
You know the following masses of each element:
- H: 1 g/mole
- Cl: 35.45 g/mole
- Na: 23 g/mole
So, the molar mass of each compound participating in the reaction is:
- HCl: 1 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 36.45 g/mole
- Na: 23 g/mole
- NaCl: 23 g/mole + 35.45 g/mole= 58.45 g/mole
- H₂: 2* 1 g/mole= 2 g/mole
Then, by stoichiometry of the reaction, the following amounts in grams of each of the compounds participating in the reaction react and are produced:
- HCl: 2 moles* 36.45 g/mole= 72.9 g
- Na: 1 mole* 23 g/mole= 23 g
- NaCl: 2 moles* 58.45 g/mole= 116.9 g
- H₂: 1 mole* 2 g/mole= 2 g
So, a rule of three applies as follows: if by stoichiometry, when reacting 72.9 grams of HCl 2 grams of H₂ are formed, when reacting 175 grams of HCl how much mass of H₂ will be formed?
mass of H₂= 4.8 g
<u><em>4.8 grams of H₂ will be produced if 175g of HCI are allowed to react completely with sodium</em></u>
Answer: (C) conservation of matter
Solution: Law of conservation of matter or mass states that' total mass of the reactants should always be equal to the total mass of the product that is the total mass is remained conserved in a chemical reaction.
A balanced chemical equation always follow this law.
For example:
Mass of hydrogen = 1 g/mol
Mass of Oxygen = 16 g/mol
Total mass on the reactants = 2(2×1)+(2×16)= 36g/mol
Total mass on the product side = 2[(2×1) +16] = 36 g/mol
As,
Mass on reactant side = Mass on the product side
Therefore, a balanced chemical reaction follows Law of Conservation of mass.
