Answer:
[tex]\huge\boxed{\sf Mass = 726.96\ g}[/tex]
Explanation:
In the reaction:
For 2 moles of Na, 1 mol of H₂ is produced
At STP,
1 mol of H₂ = 22.4 L/mol molar value
Converting 354 L to moles:
= volume / molar value
= 354 / 22.4
= 15.8 moles
We already know that:
1 mol of H₂ ↔ 2 moles of Na
So,
15.8 moles of H₂ ↔ 15.8 × 2 moles of Na
15.8 moles of H₂ ↔ 31.6 moles of Na
So, to produce 15.8 moles of H₂ (354 L), we need 31.6 moles of Na.
Converting 31.6 moles of Na into mass:
Mass = moles × molar mass
Mass = 31.6 × 23
Mass = 726.96 g
