Chapter 14, Problem 40E

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

In the reaction, $\text{2Na}\left(\text{s}\right)+{\text{2H}}_{\text{2}}\text{O}\left(l\right)\to \text{2NaOH}\left(\text{aq}\right)+{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}\left(\text{g}\right)$, the amount of sodium needed to produce $\text{25}\text{.3}\text{L}$ of hydrogen gas at $\text{43}{°}^{}\text{C}$ and $\text{0}\text{.886}\text{atm}$ is to be calculated.

Concept introduction:

Ideal gas is defined as the gas in which the collisions between the molecules and the atoms are perfectly elastic and there are no intermolecular attractive forces found between them. The ideal gas equation is given by the expression as shown below

$\text{PV}=\text{nRT}$
