Sodium metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas according to the following equation: 2Na(s) + 2H20()- →2NAOH(aq) + H2(g) In an experiment, the H, gas is collected over water in a vessel where the total pressure is 744 torr and the temperature is 20°C, at which temperature the vapor pressure of water is 17.5 torr. Under these conditions, the partial pressure of H, is torr. If the wet H, gas formed occupies a volume of 5.87 L, the number of moles of H, formed is mol.

Sodium metal reacts with water to produce hydrogen gas according to the following equation:
2Na(s) + 2H,0()-
→2NAOH(aq) + H2(g)
In an experiment, the H, gas is collected over water in a vessel where the total pressure is 744 torr and the temperature
20°C, at which temperature the vapor pressure of water is 17.5 torr. Under these conditions, the partial pressure of H2 is
torr. If the wet H, gas formed occupies a volume of 5.87 L, the number of moles of H,
formed is
mol.
