If 28.2g of nitrogen is produced in the following reaction, what mass of sodium is also produced? 2Na3N—-> N2 +6Na

Answer 1

2Na₃N ==> N₂ + 6Na ... balanced equation

N₂ and Na are produced in a ratio of 1 mol N₂ to 6 mol Na. Using this and dimensional analysis, we have:

28.2 g N₂ x 1 mol N₂ / 28 g x 6 mol Na / 1 mol N₂ x 23.0 g Na/mol Na = 139 g Na
