What is the quanity og hydrogen gas liberated wheb 46 g sodium reacts with excess ethanol?

(Given atomic mass of Na= 23)


A) $2.4 \times 10^{-3} kg$

B) $2.0 \times 10^{-3} kg$

C) $4.0 \times 10^{-3} kg$

D) $2.4 \times 10^{-2} kg$

Answer:

Option B

Explanation:

 The reaction of ethanol with water is as follows

$2C_{2}H_{5}OH(l)+2Na(s)\rightarrow 2C_{2}H_{5}\overline{O}Na^{+}+H_{2}(g)\uparrow$

 2 mole of Na (46g) =1 mole of H2

 = 2g= 2 x 10-3 kg
