Question:

a. Sodium reacts with excess oxygen to form sodium peroxide, Na2O2.

2Na + O2 → Na2O2

Calculate the maximum mass of sodium peroxide formed when 4.60 g of sodium is burnt in excess oxygen. (Ar values: Na = 23.0, O = 16.0)

b. Tin(IV) oxide is reduced to tin by carbon. Carbon monoxide is also formed.

SnO2 + 2C → Sn + 2CO

Calculate the mass of carbon that exactly reacts with 14.0 g of tin(IV) oxide. Give your answer to 3 significant figures.
(Ar values: C = 12.0, O = 16.0, Sn = 118.7)
