Sodium reaction question
« on: November 11, 2013, 04:58:10 PM »
How would I work this out?

2Na + 2H20 > 2Na+ + 2OH- + H2

How many moles of sodium are needed to release 1l of hydrogen and standard temperature and pressure? From what I have been told 24 litres of gas is equivalent to 1 mole at room temperature and sea level.

Right. So? Show us your attempts.

My question is it STP or ambient temperature? One is a little different from the other. 
If you're not part of the solution, then you're part of the precipitate
