Explanation / Answer

1) Na(s) + 2H2O(l) ------------> 2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

Clearly, Na & water reacts in the ratio of 1:2

Thus, for 0.297 moles of Na , moles of watre required = 0.594

Hence the limiting reagent is water (H2O)

Moles of NaOH that can be produced = moles of water reacting = 0.133

2) CO(g) + H2O(l) ----------> CO2(g) + H2(g)

Clearly CO & water reacts in the ratio of 1:1

Thus, for 0.431 moles of CO, 0.431 moles of watre is required

Thus. the limiting reagent is CO

Moles of CO2 produced = moles of CO reacting = 0.431
