Answer #1

2 Na (s) + 2HCl (aq) --------> 2 NaCl (aq) + H​​​​​​2 (g)

0.784 grams of sodium on reaction with excess of HCl liberates 8150 Joules of energy.

2*23 grams of sodium on reaction with excess of HCl liberates how many Joules of energy?

Amount of energy released

= 2*23 grams *8150 J/0.784 grams

= 477188.8 Joules

= 477.1888 kJ

= 477.2 kJ

Enthalpy of given reaction = 477.2 kJ or 238.6 kJ/mol
