If hydrochloric acid is added to sodium metal it will produce hydrogen gas according to the following reaction 2 Na + 2 HCl (aq) --> 2 NaCl (aq) +H2 (g)
Explain if an excess of HCl is added to 5.74g of sodium metal in a beaker at 0.982 bar atmospheric pressure also 21.2 degrees Celsius, computing the resulting work.
