How many grams of sodium oxide can be synthesized from 17.4 g of sodium? assume that more than enough oxygen is present. the balanced equation is: 4na(s) + o2(g) → 2na2o(s)?

transitionstate
Equation is as follow,

                          4 Na (s)  +  O₂ (g)    →    2Na₂O (s)

According to equation,

      91.92 g (4 moles) of Na produces  =  123.92 g (2 moles) of Na₂O
So,
                    17.4 g of Na will produce  =  X g of Na₂O

Solving for X,
                                   X  =  (17.4 g × 123.92 g) ÷ 91.92 g

                                   X  =  23.45 g of Na₂O
