Sodium carbonate (na2co3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. how many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to
1 answer:
Sodium carbonate is used to neutralised sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of stron base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:
Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄→ Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃
From balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of H₂SO₄. Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol=0.106 kg/mol and molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol=0.098 kg/mol.
To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, to neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is= kg= 5.451 X 10³ kg.

Explanation:
As it is known that molarity is the number of moles present in a liter of solution.
Mathematically, Molarity =
As it is given that molarity is 0.10 M and volume is 10.0 ml. As 1 ml equals 0.001 L. Therefore, 10.0 ml will also be equal to 0.01 L.
Hence, putting these values into the above formula as follows.
Molarity =
0.10 M =
no. of moles = 0.001 mol
As molar mass of KCN is equal to 65.12 g/mol. Therefore, calculate the mass of KCN as follows.
No. of moles =
0.001 mol =
mass = 0.06152 g
Thus, we can conclude that 0.06152 grams of KCN are in 10.0 ml of a 0.10 M solution.
