    Question 1

    The moles off Al that are needed to react completely with 17.5 moles of FeO is 11.67 moles

    calculation

    2Al + 3 FeO→ 3 Fe + Al₂O₃

    From equation above Al: FeO is 2:3

    therefore the moles of Al = 17.5 moles x 2 / 3 = 11.67 moles

    Question 2

    The number of liters of hydrogen gas that are formed at STP 25.088 L

    calculation

    2Na + 2H₂O → NaOH + H₂

    Step 1 : calculate the moles of Na

    moles = mass: molar mass

    from the periodic table the molar mass of Na = 23 g/mol

    moles = 51.5 g: 23 g/mol = 2.24 moles

    Step 2: use the mole ratio to determine the moles of H₂

    Na:H₂ is 2:1 therefore the moles of H₂ = 2.24 moles x 1/2 = 1.12 moles

    Step 3: calculate the number of liters of H₂ at STP

    that is at STP 1 mole of a gas = 22.4 L

    1.12 moles = ? L

    by cross multiplication

    = (1.12 moles x 22.4 L) / 1 mole = 25.088 L
