2 na (s) 2 h2o (l) -------> 2 naoh (aq) h2(g) the hydrogen gas is collected over water at 25oc. the volume of gas is 246 ml measured at 1 atm. calculate the number of grams of na used in the reaction. (vapor pressure of water

Respuesta :

The number of grams of Na used in the reaction is 0.414 g.

What is vapour pressure?

The tendency of a substance to transform into a gaseous or vapour state is measured by vapour pressure, which increases with temperature.

Given data:

Volume of gas, V = 246 mL = 0.246 L

Temperature, T = 25 degree C =298 K

Total pressure, PT = 1.0 atm

Pressure of water = 0.0313 atm

The vapor pressure of gas, P = PT-  vapor pressure of water

                                              =1.0 atm - 0.0313 atm

                                             = 0.9687 atm

∴ Number of moles of gas,

n = PV / RT

= (0.9687 atm) (0.246 L) / (0.082 Latm/mol.K) (298K)

=0.238/

= 0.009 mol

According to the stoichiometric equation twomoles of Na(s) are required to produce one mole of hydrogengas

Number of moles of Na(s) is required

= moles of gas * 2

= 0.009 mol *2

= 0.018 mol

Mass of Na(s) required

= moles * atomic mass ofNa

= 0.018 mol *23 g/mol

= 0.414 g

Therefore, the number of grams of Na used in the reaction is 0.414 g.
