Question

4Na + O2 —> 2Na2O

In this chemical reaction, how many moles of Na2O will be produced if 2.90 moles of Na react completely? Express answer to three significant figures.

Answer 1

3.91g

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Use the equation mol = mass/Mr (Molecular Formula)

2. Use the information you have and put it into the formula 2.9/23 = 0.1260869565

3. Multiply 0.1260869565 by 62 (molecular formula of Na2O) - Formula rearranged to mass = mol × Molecular formula = 7.817391303

4. Divide by two to get two moles, as shown in the chemical equation

5. 3.9086956515

6. 3.91g to three significant figures
