Question

23 g of Na will react with methyl alcohol to give

• A. One mole of oxygen
• B. One mole of $H _ { 2 }$
• C. $\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ mole of $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$
• D. None of these

Answer 1

Answer: (C)

$\frac { 1 } { 2 }$ mole of $\mathrm { H } _ { 2 }$

Answer 2

$\underset { 1 \text { mole } } { \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { OH } } \underset { \substack { 1 \text { mole } \\ ( 23 \text { gms } ) } } { \mathrm { Na } } \rightarrow \mathrm { CH } _ { 3 } \mathrm { ONa } + \underset { \text { 1/2 mole } } { \frac { 1 } { 2 } \mathrm { H } _ { 2 } }$
