Answer:

The mass % of BaCl2 is 47.24 %

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Molar mass BaSO4 = 233.38 g/mol

Molar mass BaCl2 = 208.23 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(s) + 2NaCl(aq)

Step 3: Calculate moles BaSO4

Moles BaSO4 = mass BaSO4 / molar mass BaSO4

Moles BaSO4 = 2.113 grams / 233.38 g/mol

Moles BaSO4 = 0.00905 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles BaCl2

For 1 mol BaCl2 we need 1 mol Na2SO4 to produce 1 mol BaSO4 and 2 moles NaCl

For 0.00905 moles BaSO4 we need 0.00905 moles BaCl2

Step 5: Calculate mass BaCl2

Mass BaCl2 = moles BaCl2 * molar mass BaCl2

Mass BaCl2 = 0.00905 moles *208.23 g/mol

Mass BaCl2 = 1.884 grams

Step 6: Calculate % BaCl2

% BaCl2 = (1.884 / 3.988 ) * 100%

% BaCl2 = 47.24 %

The mass % of BaCl2 is 47.24 %

The chemical equation shows iron(III) phosphate reacting with sodium sulfate. 2FePO4 + 3Na2SO4 Fe2(SO4)3 + 2Na3PO4 What is the t
slava [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

Given mass of iron(III) phosphate = 20.00 g

Molar mass of iron(III) phosphate = 150.82 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of iron(III) phosphate}=\frac{20g}{150.82g/mol}=0.133mol

The given chemical equation follows:

2FePO_4+3Na_2SO_4\rightarrow Fe_2(SO_4)_3+2Na_3PO_4

As, sodium sulfate is present in excess. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, iron(III) phosphate is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of iron(III) phosphate produces 1 mole of iron(III) sulfate

So, 0.133 moles of iron(III) phosphate will produce = \frac{1}{2}\times 0.133=0.0665moles of iron(III) sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of iron(III) sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of iron(III) sulfate = 399.9 g/mol

Moles of iron(III) sulfate = 0.0665 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.0665mol=\frac{\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}}{399.9g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of iron(III) sulfate}=(0.0665mol\times 399.9g/mol)=26.6g

Hence, the theoretical yield of iron(III) sulfate is 26.6 grams

Or a hydrogen atom, which electronic transition would result in the emission of a photon with the highest energy?
ELEN [110]
This electronic transition would result in the emission of a photon with the highest energy: 4p – 2s <span>This can be the same with the emission of 4f to 2s which would emit energy in the visible region. The energy in the visible region would emit more energy than in the infrared region which makes this emission to have the highest energy.</span>
