Answer:
1) 22.1 g Na₂O
Step-by-step explanation:
1) Writing out the balanced chemical equation is super important! The one for this problem is:
CaO + 2Na ⇒ Na₂O + Ca
Convert the grams of CaO to moles using the molar mass of CaO.
20 g CaO * (1 mole / 56.078 g) = 0.3566 moles of CaO
Now we can use the moles of CaO to find out how many moles of Na₂O will be produced. From the chemical equation written above, we can see that one mole of CaO will react to produce one mole of Na₂O.
So, 0.3566 moles of Na₂O will be produced
Convert the moles of Na₂O to grams using the molar mass:
0.3566 moles * (61.98 g / 1 mole) = 22.1 g Na₂O
