Answer:

mass of Na2O= 3.1 grams

volume of O2= 0.56 L

Explanation:

First what you need to do is establish the balanced equation for the reaction that they're giving you. In this case would be:

4Na + O2 > 2Na2O

And then, you can read the stequiometry of the reaction:

4 moles of Na react with one mole of oxygen to produce 2 moles of sodium oxide.

So now you know that you have 2.3 grams of sodium so you have to obtain the quantity of moles that are present in 2.3 grams of sodium. The molar mass the (the grams by which you will have exactly one mole) so all you have to do is divide 2.3g ÷ 23g/mol= 0.1 mol

So here you have 0.1 mol of sodium, and you know for a fact that for each 4 moles of sodium, one mole of oxygen reacts, so you simply divide the quantity of moles of sodium you have by the 4 moles of oxygen present in the balanced equation.

0.1 moles ÷ 4 moles = 0.025.

So for each 0.1 moles of sodium that react, 0.025 moles of Oxygen react.

Now what you need to do is to find the limitant reactor (the reactor that's according to the comparison to the balanced equation is in a smaller ratio to the other element, that would be in excess.

In this case, both elements are in a ratio that respects the balanced equation so neither of them is in excess or is limitant.

Now, to determine the amount of Na2O, you simply know that one mole of oxygen react to produce to moles of sodium oxide, So all you have to do is establish the factor of conversion:

0.025 moles O2 x 2 moles Na2O/ 1 mol O2= 0.05 moles of Na2O

Then you convert that to grams by multiplying 0.05 by the molar mass of Sodium oxide and it will be:

0.05 mol Na2O x 62 g/mol= 3.1 grams of Na2O

Now what you need to do is find the volume by which O2 is reacting in the reaction so you can use the equation of the ideal gas law.

PV=nRT at standard temperature and pressure (273 K and 1 Atm)

P=Pressure

V=Volume

n=Number of atoms

R=constant of gases (0.082 Atm L/ mol K)

T=Temperature

V=nRT/P (because you need to find the volume)

V= (0.025 mol)(0.082)(273 K)/1 atm

V=0.56 L

And there you go :)

The molarity (M) of an aqueous solution containing 22.5 g of sucrose (C12H22O11) in 35.5 mL of solution is ________.
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

1.86 M

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Mass of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 22.5 g

Volume of solution = 35.5 mL

Molarity of solution =?

Next, we shall determine the number of mole in 22.5 g of sucrose (C12H22O11). This can be obtained as follow:

Mass of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 22.5 g

Molar mass of C12H22O11 = (12×12) + (22×1) + (16×11)

= 144 + 22 + 176

= 342 g/mol

Mole of C12H22O11 =?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Mole of C12H22O11 = 22.5 /342

Mole of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 0.066 mole

Next, we shall convert 35.5 mL to litres (L). This can be obtained as follow:

1000 mL = 1 L

Therefore,

35.5 mL = 35.5 mL × 1 L / 1000 mL

35.5 mL = 0.0355 L

Thus, 35.5 mL is equivalent to 0.0355 L.

Finally, we shall determine the molarity of the solution as follow:

Mole of sucrose (C12H22O11) = 0.066 mole

Volume of solution = 0.0355 L.

Molarity of solution =?

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity of solution = 0.066/0.0355

Molarity of solution = 1.86 M

Therefore, the molarity of the solution is 1.86 M.

Students in class argue about whether salt (NaCl) or water (H2O) has stronger intramolecular forces. Which argument is BEST?
Yanka [14]

Since intermolecular forces is stronger in a solid than a liquid, then NaCl has stronger intermolecular forces than H2O.

Intermolecular forces exists between molecules of the same or different kinds. Water has a dipole moment hence it can interact effectively with the ions in NaCl. This leads to an ion dipole interaction that results in the dissolution of NaCl in H2O.

NaCl is a solid and water is a liquid. Since intermolecular forces is stronger in a solid than a liquid, then NaCl has stronger intermolecular forces than H2O.

Hence, the best argument that compares the intermolecular interactions in water and NaCl is; salt is a solid and water is a liquid, so water has stronger intramolecular forces.
