Metallic Sodium Was Originally Produced by the Deville Process, Where $\circ$

question 131

Short Answer

Metallic sodium was originally produced by the Deville process, where sodium carbonate and carbon black are heated to 1100 ^$\circ$ C to produce sodium (as a liquid at that temperature) and carbon monoxide gas, according to the following balanced equation.
Na₂CO₃(s ) 2C(s ) 2Na(l) 3CO(g)
If 2.3 kg of sodium carbonate is heated, what is the maximum amount of sodium that can be produced?
