Answer:

Option A is correct. 0.404g

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the chemical reaction between sodium and water as shown below:


2Na+2H_2O\rightarrow2\text{NaOH}+H_2

From the reaction, we can see that 2 moles of water molecules react to form 1 mole of the Hydrogen molecule. This shows that 0.400moles of water will react with sodium to form 0.200 moles of H2

Get the mass of hydrogen produced using the formula:


\text{Mass}=nu\text{mber of moles }* molar\text{ mass}

Since the molar mass of hydrogen is 2.016 g. The mass of hydrogen produced will be expressed as;


\begin{gathered} \text{Mass of H}_2=0.200*2.016 \\ \text{Mass of H}_2=0.4032g \end{gathered}

This shows that the mass of the hydrogen produced when 0.400 mol of water reacts completely is approximately 0.404g
