5a) The maximum mass of sodium peroxide formed when 4.60 g of sodium is burnt in excess oxygen is; 7.8g of Sodium peroxide
5b) The mass of carbon that exactly reacts with 14.0g of tin(IV) oxide is; 2.23g of Carbon.
For questions (5a)
Sodium reacts with excess oxygen to form Sodium peroxide as follows;
Molar mass of sodium and sodium peroxide are 23 and 78 respectively.
Since 2 units of sodium produces one unit of sodium peroxide.
Therefore,
x = 7.8g of Na2O2
For question (5b)
Tin oxide (IV) is reduced to tin by carbon. Carbon monoxide is also formed as follows;
From stoichiometry,
By Cross-product,
x = 2.23g of carbon
