  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Using Dimensional Analysis

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Define

[RxN] H₂SO₄ + 2NaNO₂ → 2HNO₂ + Na₂SO₄

[Given] 24.14714 g Na₂SO₄

Step 2: Identify Conversions

[RxN] 1 mol Na₂SO₄ = 2 mol NaNO₂

Molar Mass of Na - 22.99 g/mol

Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

Molar Mass of Na₂SO₄ - 2(22.99) + 32.07 + 4(16.00) = 142.05 g/mol

Molar Mass of NaNO₂ - 22.99 + 14.01 + 2(16.00) = 69.00 g/mol

Step 3: Stoichiometry

  1. Set up:
    \displaystyle 24.14714 \ g \ Na_2SO_4((1 \ mol \ Na_2SO_4)/(142.05 \ g \ Na_2SO_4))((2 \ mol \ NaNO_2)/(1 \ mol \ Na_2SO_4))((69.00 \ g \ NaNO_2)/(1 \ mol \ NaNO_2))
  2. Multiply/Divide:
    \displaystyle 23.4587 \ g \ NaNO_2

Step 4: Check

Follow sig fig rules and round. We need 5 sig figs (instructed).

23.4587 g NaNO₂ ≈ 23.459 g NaNO₂
