Answer: The answer is C

Explanation:the salt fits the definition of a mineral because it's a naturally occurring compound that has a definite composition and a crystalline structure. It has a crystalline structure because of its repeating pattern

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

These are two questions and two answers

Answer:

    Question 1:

  • <u>H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)</u>

    Question 2:

  • <u>0.201 M</u>

Explanation:

<u>Question 1:</u>

The<em> neutralization</em> reaction that occurs between H₂SO₄ and KOH is an acid-base reaction.

The products of an acid-base reaction are salt and water.

This is the sketch of such neutralization reaction:

1) <u>Word equation:</u>

  • sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium sulfate + water

                 ↑                               ↑                              ↑                       ↑

               acid                          base                        salt                   water

<u>2) Skeleton equation (unbalanced)</u>

  • H₂SO₄ + KOH → K₂SO₄ + H₂O

<u>#) Balanced chemical equation (including phases)</u>

  • H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l) ← answer

<u>Question 2:</u>

<u>1) Mol ratio:</u>

Using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation you get the mol ratio:

  • 1 mol H₂SO₄ (aq) : 2 mol KOH (aq) : 1 mol K₂SO₄ (aq) : mol 2H₂O (l)

<u>2) Moles of H₂SO₄:</u>

  • V = 0.750 liter
  • M = 0.480 mol/liter
  • M = n/V ⇒ n = M×V = 0.480 mol/liter × 0.750 liter = 0.360 mol

<u>3) Moles of KOH:</u>

  • V = 0.700 liter
  • M = 0.290 mol/liter
  • M = n/V ⇒ n = M × V = 0.290 mol/liter × 0.700 liter = 0.203 mol

<u>4) Determine the limiting reagent:</u>

a) Stoichiometric ratio:

   1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol NaOH = 0.500 mol H₂SO4 / mol NaOH

b) Actual ratio:

   0.360 mol H₂SO4 / 0.203 mol NaOH = 1.77 mol H₂SO₄ / mol NaOH

Since hte actual ratio of H₂SO₄  is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, you conclude that H₂SO₄ is in excess.

<u>5) Amount of H₂SO₄ that reacts:</u>

  • Since, KOH is the limiting reactant, using 0.203 mol KOH and the stoichiometryc ratio 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH, you get:

         x / 0.203 mol KOH = 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH ⇒

         x = 0.203 / 2 = 0.0677 mol of H₂SO₄

<u>6) Concentration of H₂SO₄ remaining:</u>

  • Initial amount - amount that reacted = 0.360 mol - 0.0677 mol = 0.292 mol

  • Total volume = 0.700 liter + 0.750 liter = 1.450 liter

  • Concetration = M

        M = n / V = 0.292 mol / 1.450 liter = 0.201 M ← answer
