Identify the amount of Dihydrogen formed when 46 g46\ \text{g} Na (molar mass =23 g mol−1= 23\ \text{g mol}^{-1}) reacts with excess ethanol.

Options

  1. A12\dfrac{1}{2} mole
  2. B11 mole
  3. C14\dfrac{1}{4} mole
  4. D18\dfrac{1}{8} mole

Correct answer

B. 11 mole

Step-by-step solution

Number of moles of Na = 4623=2\dfrac{46}{23} = 2 moles.

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of sodium with ethanol is:

2C2H5OH+2Na→2C2H5ONa+H22\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{OH} + 2\text{Na} \rightarrow 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_5\text{ONa} + \text{H}_2

From the stoichiometry of the reaction, 22 moles of Na react with excess ethanol to produce 11 mole of dihydrogen (H2\text{H}_2).

Since 22 moles of Na are given, the amount of dihydrogen formed is 11 mole.

Answer: 11 mole
