(Record only your final answer rounded to the correct number of significant digits.)

1. Sodium metal and white phosphorus react to form a compound that is so dangerous it is not allowed to be transported on passenger aircraft.

12 Na(s) + P4(s) --> 4 Na3P(s)

How many moles of sodium metal are needed to form 2.8 mol of sodium phosphide?

 

2. A thermite reaction was used historically to weld. In the reaction, solid aluminium and solid iron(III) oxide are ignited by high temperatures to produce aluminium oxide and iron.

2 Al(s) + Fe2O3(s) → 2 Fe(s) + Al2O3(s)

If 58.3 g of aluminium is used in the reaction, how many moles of aluminium oxide are produced?

 

3. Sodium metal is a soft silvery metal. Sodium metal reacts vigorously with water to produce sodium hydroxide and hydrogen gas.
