Vraag 19 Verslag
A hydrocarbon X with a molar mass of 26 consists of 92.3% carbon. What is its molecular formular
Antwoorddetails
% of H2 = 100 - 92.3 = 7.7%
mole = 92.3/12 7.7/1
7.1/7.1 7.1/7.1
empirical formula = CH
(CH)n = 26
(12 + 1)n = 26
(13)n = 26
n = 26/13 = 2
molecular formula = C2H2

2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
From the equation above, calculate the mass of sodium hydroxide produced by 2.3g of sodium.
[H = 1, O = 16, Na = 23]
Antwoorddetails
2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)
Relative molecular mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40smol-1
2 * 23g of sodium react with water to produce
2 * 40g of NaOH
∴ 2.3g of sodium will react with water to produce
(2.3 * 40 * 2)/(23 * 2) = 4.00g
