Extreme112 Posted September 11, 2013 Posted September 11, 2013 Question: How many grams of sodium oxide are produced when 73.2g of sodium react completely with oxygen gas? Just want to confirm if my procedure/answer is correct. 4 Na + O2 ---> 2 Na2O ----- Balanced Equation So I would assume all I have to do is 1) get the moles of Na 2) divide my 2 to get the moles of Na2O 3) multiply by the molar mass of Na2O to get the grams of Na2O. Solution: 73g ÷ 23g/mol (molar mass Na) = 3.2 moles 3.2 moles ÷ 2 = 1.6 moles of Na2O 1.6 moles × 62 g/mol (molar mass of Na2O) = 98.7 Did I do my computations correctly?
