How many moles of sodium hydroxide will be produced from the complete reaction of 15.0 g of sodium?

The number of moles of NaOH produced are 0.652 moles

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

Given mass of sodium = 15.0 g

Molar mass of sodium = 23 g/mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

The chemical equation for the formation of NaOH follows:

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of sodium produces 2 moles of NaOH

So, 0.652 moles of sodium will produce= of NaOH

Hence, the number of moles of NaOH produced are 0.652 moles
