Solid sodium metal reacts violently with water, producing heat, hydrogen gas, and sodium hydroxide. how many molecules of hydrogen are formed when 35 g of sodium are added to water? show work.

4.6 × 10²³ molecules:

Step-by-step solution

You will need a balanced equation with masses, moles, and molar masses, so let's gather the information in one place:

M_r:  22.99

          2Na + 2H₂O ⟶ 2NaOH + H₂

m/g:    35

1. Calculate the moles of Na

Moles of Na = 35 g Na × (1 mol Na/22.99 g Na)

Moles of Na = 1.52 mol Na

2. Calculate the moles of H₂

Moles of H₂ = 1.52 mol Na × (1 mol H₂/2 mol Na)

Moles of H₂= 0.761 mol H₂

3. Calculate the molecules of H₂

6.022 × 10²³ molecules H₂ = 1 mol H₂

                Molecules of H₂ = 0.761 × (6.022 × 10²³ /1)

                Molecules of H₂ = 4.6 × 10²³ molecules H₂

The reaction forms 4.6 × 10²³ molecules of H₂.

hurricanes form when warm, moist air from the ocean surface quickly rises into the atmosphere and forms storm clouds and rain. when the clouds are formed, heat is released which warms the cool air in the upper regions of the atmosphere so that the cycle can continue. which two phases of the water cycle are repeated in this process?
