 #64 Calculate ∆H° for each of the
following reactions using the data in
Appendix 4:

4Na(s) + O2(g)  2Na2O(s)

2Na(s) +2H2O(l)  2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

2Na(s) + CO2(g)  NA2O(s) + CO(g)

Explain why a water or carbon dioxide fire

extinguisher might not be effective in
putting out a sodium fire.
 Equation:
*Product - Reactant = ΔH*

4Na(s) + O2(g)  2Na2O(s)

4 (0) + 0 2(-416)
-832 – 0 ΔH= -832

EXOTHERMIC!
 Equation:
*Product - Reactant = ΔH*

2Na(s) +2H2O(l)  2NaOH(aq) + H2(g)

0 + 2(-286) 2(-470) + 0
-940 - (-572) ΔH= -368

EXOTHERMIC!
 Equation:
*Product - Reactant = ΔH*

2Na(s) + CO2(g)  NA2O(s) + CO(g)

2 (0) + -395.5 -416 + -110.5
-526.5 - -393.5 ΔH= -133.0

EXOTHERMIC!
 Answer:

The reaction of water and sodium

release heat.
The reaction of carbon dioxide and
sodium release heat also.
They are both exothermic reactions.
