          Thus,
                      32 g of oxygen reacts completely with 4 g of hydrogen

                                                   6.4 × 4
                6.4 g of oxygen reacts completely with    g = 0.8 g of hydrogen
                                                     32
          Thus, 6.4 g of oxygen gas reacts completely with 0.8 g of hydrogen.

          Solution: The reaction is,
           Hydrazine    +  Hydrogen peroxide  o       Nitrogen    +    Water
          The balanced chemical equation is,
                     N H  4     +     2H O      o        N 2      +    4H O
                                                                          2

                      1 mol            2 mol
          From the chemical equation of the reaction,

          or           (2 × 14 + 4 × 1.0) g of N H   = 2 × (2 × 1.0 + 2 × 16.0) g of H O 2

                                                                           2
                               (28 + 4) g of N H   = 2 × (34) g of H O 2

                                                              2

                                    32 g of N H   = 68 g of H O 2

                1 g of N H  requires   32   g of H O 2

                           4
          Therefore, mass of H O  required in the reaction is 2125 g, or 2.125 kg.

          Calculations based on mass-volume and volume-volume
          relationships
          The following relationships are useful for solving problems based on mass-
          volume, and volume-volume relationships:
                                                         –1
            ƒ  Molar volume of a gas at NTP = 22.4 L mol              (= 22400 mL)
              i.e., 1 mol of each gas under NTP conditions occupies a volume of 22.4 L.
            These calculations are illustrated through the following examples:
          EXAMPLE 5.26.  2.3 g of metallic sodium reacts with excess of water. Calculate
          the mass of sodium hydroxide formed. What is the volume of hydrogen evolved
          under NTP conditions?
          Solution: Sodium reacts with water according to the equation,
                     2Na(s)     +     2H O      o 2NaOH(aq)       +    H (g)
                                                                          2
                                         2
                      2 mol                              2 mol          1 mol
                     2 × 23 g                         2 (23 + 16 + 1)      2 g
                      46 g                                80 g       22.4 L (at NTP)
                                          2.3 × 80
          Thus,        2.3 g of sodium gives       = 4.0 g of NaOH
                                             46
                                         22.4 × 2.3
          and        2.3 g of sodium gives         = 1.12 L of H  gas
                                            46                2
          Therefore,         Mass of NaOH formed = 4.0 g
                       Volume of H  evolved at NTP = 1.12 L
