I am seeking verification that I have done this problem correctly! Consider the balanced equation: Na2SO4 + 2C = Na2S + 2CO2. What is the theoretical yield of Na2S when 5.00g Na2SO4 react? (5.00g * 1mol * 2molCO * 44gCO)/(142g * 1mol * 1molCO) = 440/142 = 3.098gCO |

Are you sure you wrote the question as intended? Because you're proposed solution is grams CO not g Na2S... I'll answer it in a comment if no answerer jumps on this in a few days. |

The question is written correctly... however, I don't know if my answer is. The CO could be wrong. I am having a lot of difficulty even knowing what parameters the answer should be in! |

Think of it this way -- for every mole of Na2SO4 that reacts, you make 1 mole of Na2S if the reaction goes to completion. The molecular weight of Na2SO4 is 142.04 gm/mol, so 5 grams of this salt amounts to 5gm / 142.04 gm/mol = 0.0352 moles. According to the reaction stoichiometry, you will get the same number of moles of product Na2S. The molecular weight of Na2S is 78.04 gm/mol, so 0.0352 moles of this salt has a mass of 78.04 gm/mol * 0.0352 mol = 2.747 gm. 5 grams of Na2SO4 will react to form 2.747 grams of Na2S. |
