Number of moles of sodium reacted is 2 moles. 0.04598 Kg is the mass of sodium that reacted.
Mole fraction is 1 mole ratio is 1:1
Explanation:
Balanced chemical reaction:
2 Na + 2H20 ⇒ 2NaOH + H2 (gas)
atomic mass of sodium = 22.99 g/mol
from the reaction it can be seen that 2 moles of sodium reacted to form 2 moles of sodium hydroxide soluition.
The mass of sodium reacted can be calculated from the formula:
mass = atomic mass of one mole x number of moles
mass = 22.99 x 2
= 45.98 grams is the mass of sodium, to convert it into kilograms it is divided by 1000
= 0.04598 Kg is the mass of sodium that reacted.
Mole fraction formula is:
= mole fraction ( solute Na = 2 moles, solution is NaOH =2 moles)
putting the values:
= 1 mole ratio is 1:1
