Calculate the work done by the expansion of hydrogen gas when 7.1 g of sodium react with water at constant temperature of 27°C and pressure of 1.7 atm. Use a precision of 2 significant digits. 2Na(s) + 2H2O(l) → 2NaOH(s) + H2(g)

-390J

Explanation:

The given reaction is,

2Na(s) + 2H2O —-> 2NaOH + H2

Number of moles of NaOH = Mass/molar mass

= 7.1/23 = 0.31 mol

Since, 2 mol Na produces 1 mol H2

Hence, 0.31 mol Na will produce

= 0.31 mol /2 = 0.155 mol H2

According to ideal gas equation,

PV = n RT

V = nRT/P

= 0.155mol x 0.0821 L atm K-1 mol-1 x (27+273 K) / 1.7atm

= 2.25L

Therefore,

Work of expansion = - PV = - 1.7 atm x 2.25L

= - 3.825atm L

= - 3.825 x 101.325 J = - 387.57 J

= - 390 J

well off of my head we know that the perfume bottle is most likely opened, or broken. i can also tell it is moving at low and high concentration because it is covering the other side of the room. what we can obtain from this information is it explains why the odor can be detected at the other side of the room.

so what is the problem with your lab report and whats the subject of the lab report? i will you
