First write balance equation

2Na + 2H2O --> 2NaOH + H2

molar mass Na = 22.99 g/mol

molar mass H2O = 18.02 g/mol

molar mass NaOH = 40.0 g/mol

Determine limiting reagent.

1.20 g Na * 1mol Na/22.99g Na = 0.05219 (0.0522) mol Na

Since 2Na = 2NaOH in balanced equation, The mol of NaOH is also 0.0522

3ml h20 = 3 gram h20 (1ml^3=1g^3)

3g H20 * 1mol/18gH20 = 0.167 (0.17) mol H20

So .17 ml H20 equals .17 mol NaOH

and .0522 mole Na equals .0522 mol NaOH

The smaller one is the limiting reagent, which in this case is Na

0.0522mol NaOH*40g NaOH/1mol NaOH = 2.09 gram NaOH

2Na + 2H2O >> 2NaOH + H2

20 grams Na (1mol Na/22.99g )(2mol NaOH/2mol Na )(39.998g NaOH/1mol NaOH )

= 34.8 grams of NaOH produced
