Given: 2 Na + O₂$\rightarrow$Na₂O₂ Calculate the moles of sodium peroxide (Na₂O₂) produced if 32.5 g of sodium reacts with excess oxygen.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

First, calculate the molar mass of sodium (Na), which is approximately 23 g/mol. Given 32.5 g of sodium, the moles of sodium are 32.5 g / 23 g/mol = 1.413 mol. The reaction shows that 2 moles of Na produce 1 mole of Na2O2, so 1.413 moles of Na would produce 1.413 / 2 = 0.707 moles of Na2O2.
