How many grams of sodium oxide can be synthesized from 17.4 g of sodium? assume that more than enough oxygen is present. the balanced equation is: 4na (s) + o2 (g) → 2na2o (s) ?

Equation is as follow,

4 Na (s) + O ₂ (g) → 2Na ₂ O (s)

According to equation,

91.92 g (4 moles) of Na produces = 123.92 g (2 moles) of Na ₂O

So,

17.4 g of Na will produce = X g of Na₂O

Solving for X,

X = (17.4 g * 123.92 g) : 91.92 g

X = 23.45 g of Na₂O
