Answer #1

The reaction of Na2O2 with water is given below.

2Na2O2(s)+ 4H2O(l) ----> 4NaOH(aq) + O2(g). ∆H° = -126kJ

126 kJ heat release from.reaction of 2 mole of Na2O2.

So, to release 1000kJ energy amount of Na2O2 needed is,

1000kJ)×(2mole Na2O2/126kJ) = 15.873mole Na2O2.

Now molar mass of Na2O2 is 77.98g/mole

Thus amount of Na2O2 in g is = 15.873mol × 77.98g/mol = 1237.78g

Thus to release 1000kJ energy , 15.873 mile or 1237.78g of Na2O2 is needed.
