Question

in an experiment, 4.36 g of sodium reacts with 1.51 g of oxygen, forming 5.87g of sodium oxide. calculate the empirical formula of sodium oxide and write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction in an experiment, 4.36 g of sodium reacts with 1.51 g of oxygen, forming 5.87g of sodium oxide. calculate the empirical formula of sodium oxide and write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction in an experiment, 4.36 g of sodium reacts with 1.51 g of oxygen, forming 5.87g of sodium oxide. calculate the empirical formula of sodium oxide and write a balanced chemical equation for this reaction

Explanation / Answer

4Na + O2 --------> 2 Na2O

by using above balenced equation for 1 mole of sodiumoxide formation 2 moles of sodium and 1/2 mole of oxygen required. the empirical formula of sodium oxide is Na2O
