How many kJ of heat are released by the reaction of 25.0 g of Na2O2(s) in the following reaction? (M = 78.0 g/mol for Na2O2)

2 Na2O2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 4 NaOH(aq) + O2(g) ∆Hο = −126 kJ

-20.16 KJ of heat are released by the reaction of 25.0 g of Na2O2.

Explanation:

Given:

mass of Na2O2 = 25 grams

atomic mass of Na2O2 = 78 gram/mole

number of mole =

                          =

                          =0. 32 moles

The balanced equation for the reaction:

2 Na2O2(s) + 2 H2O(l) → 4 NaOH(aq) + O2(g) ∆Hο = −126 kJ

It can be seen that 126 KJ of energy is released when 2 moles of Na2O2 undergoes reaction.

similarly 0.3 moles of Na2O2 on reaction would give:

=

x =

 = -20.16 KJ

Thus, - 20.16 KJ of energy will be released.

you need to take a look at the periodic system in order to sort these elements into pairs that would most likely exhibit similar chemical properties. first, you need to find elements that are found in the same group (groups are vertical in the periodic system), and then to see whether they have the same valence number. if they meet these criteria, they will have similar properties.

the first pair: ne (neon) and kr (krypton), are noble gases found in group 8

the second pair: li (lithium) and k (potassium), found in group 1

the third pair: s (sulfur) and te (tellurium), found in group 6

the answer is c. nacl
