Answer:
See explanation for detailed solution
Explanation:
The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3
Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles
From the reaction equation;
1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2
5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2
For HSO3NH2
Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles
2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2
0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles
Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant
The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g
b)
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Molar mass = mass/ number of moles
Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g
