86.5%

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

2Na + 2HF –> 2NaF + H2

Next, we shall determine the theoretical yield of the hydrogen gas, H2. This is illustrated:

From the balanced equation above,

2 moles of Na reacted to produce 1 mole of H2.

Therefore, 5.75 moles of Na will react to produce = (5.75 x 1)/2 = 2.88 moles of H2.

Therefore, the theoretical yield of Hydrogen gas, H2 is 2.88 moles.

Finally, we shall determine the percentage yield of Hydrogen gas, H2. This can be obtained as follow:

Actual yield of H2 = 2.49 moes

Theoretical yield of H2 = 2.88 moles

Percentage yield of H2 =.?

Percentage yield = Actual yield /Theoretical yield x 100

Percentage yield = 2.49/2.88 x 100

Percentage yield = 86.5%

Therefore, the percentage yield of Hydrogen gas, H2 is 86.5%.

Answer from: Quest

explanation:

metals have excess of electrons whereas non-metals have deficiency of electrons. thus, in order to gain stability metals easily donate their electrons to the non-metals.

for example, electronic configuration of sodium is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{1}$ and electronic configuration of phosphorous is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{3}$ .

when a phosphorous atom and sodium atom combine together then sodium will donate is extra one electron to the phosphorous atom. as a result there will be formation of ionic bond between sodium and phosphorous.

the reaction will be as follows.

$3na + p \rightarrow na_{3}p$

there, are three sodium sodium atoms and each of them will donate its one extra electron to phosphorous atom. thus, the sub-shell of phosphorous gets completely filled.

thus, we can conclude that electrons are transferred from atoms of sodium to atoms of phosphorous. this transfer makes the sodium atoms donate one electron and the phosphorous atoms to gain one electron. as a result, the sodium and phosphorus atoms strongly attract each other.

Electrons are transferred from atoms of to atoms of this transfer makes the sodium atoms and the
