Answer:
Only 10 mole of water will react with 10 mole of Na metal
and produce
- 10 moles of NaOH
- 5 moles of H₂ gas
- Heat
10Na + 10H₂O --------------> 10NaOH + 5H₂
Step-by-step explanation:
2Na + 2H₂O -------------> 2NaOH + H₂
Exothermic Reaction:
This reaction is supper exothermic and when sodium metal react with water it produce a lot of heat.
Limiting Reagent:
Limiting reagent is the amount of reactant in a chemical reaction that determines the amount of products that will be produce.
For instance we will use the same equation
2Na + 2H₂O --------------> 2NaOH + H₂
The reaction shows that 2 mole of sodium combine with 2 mole of water and will produce 2 mole of NaOH and 1 mole of Hydrogen gas.
if we increase the amount of water to 4 mole then the same amount of product will form, and the extra water will remain unracted.
Similarly if we increase amount of Na to 4 mole then only 2 mole will react and will produce same amount.
Now
if we add 10 mole of Na to a large Volume of water following thing will happen
- only that amount of water will be used that requires for 10 mol of Na
- The extra water will remain unreacted
- NaOH will produced
- Hydrogen gas will evolve
Given Reaction:
2Na + 2H₂O --------------> 2NaOH + H₂
Data from Reaction:
2Na + 2H₂O --------------> 2NaOH + H₂
2 mole 2mole 2mole 1mole
Applying unity formula:
2 mole of Na will react with 2mole of water
So
2 mole of Na ≅ 2mole of H₂O
10 mole of Na = 10 mole of H₂O
So the same reaction will occur and produce NaOH and hydrogen gas
So, From the above reaction
2 mole of Na ≅ 2mole of NaOH
if 2 mole of Na produces 2 mole of NaOH then 10 mole will produce how much NaOH
apply the unity formula
2 mole of the Na ≅ 2 mole of NaOH
10 mole of the Na ≅ X mole of NaOH
so by cross multiplication
2 mole of Na x X mole of NaOH ≅ 2 mole of NaOH x 10 mole of the Na
we have to find moles of NaOH ....so by rearrangement of the above equation
X mole of NaOH = 2 mole x 10 mole
2 mole
X mole of NaOH= 10 mole
So
10 mole of Na will produce 10 mole NaOH
*****For Hydrogen Gas that produce :
2 mole of Na ≅ 1 mole H₂
If 2 mole of Na produces 1 mole of H₂ then 10 mole will produce how much H₂
apply the unity formula
2 mole of the Na ≅ 1 mole of H₂
10 mole of the Na ≅ X mole of H₂
so by cross multiplication
2 mole of Na x X mole of H₂ ≅ 1 mole of H₂ x 10 mole of the Na
we have to find moles of H₂ ....so by rearrangement of the above equation
X mole of H₂ = 1 mole x 10 mole
2 mole
X mole of H₂ = 5 mole
So
The following will be reaction if 10 moles Na thrown in large volume of water
Only 10 mole of water will react with it
10Na + 10H₂O --------------> 10NaOH + 5H₂ and heat
