Answer: Mass of hydrogen produced is 0.0376 g.
Explanation:
The reaction equation will be as follows.
[tex]NaH(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightarrow H_{2}(g) + NaOH(aq)[/tex]
Now, formula for total pressure will be as follows.
[tex]P_{total} = P_{H_{2}} + P_{H_{2}O}[/tex]
Hence, [tex]P_{H_{2}} = P_{total} - P_{H_{2}O}[/tex]
= 755 mm Hg - 42.23 mm Hg
= 712.77 mm Hg
[tex]P_{H_{2}} = \frac{712.77 \times 1 atm}{760 mm Hg}[/tex]
= 0.937 atm
Now, we will calculate the moles of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] as follows.
[tex]P_{H_{2}}V = nRT[/tex]
[tex]0.937 atm \times 0.505 L = n \times 0.0821 \times 308.15 K[/tex]
n = [tex]\frac{0.473}{25.29}[/tex] mol
= 0.0187 mol
Therefore, mass of [tex]H_{2}[/tex] will be calculated as follows.
[tex]m_{H_{2}} = \frac{0.0187 mol \times 2.0158 g}{1 mol}[/tex]
= 0.0376 g
Thus, we can conclude that mass of hydrogen produced is 0.0376 g.
