how many moles of hydrogen are evolved when an excess of sodium metal is added to one mole of citric acid?

1 answer:

4 0

The formula of citric acid is:

   CO2H
   |
HO - C - CH2CO2H
   |
C - CH2 CO2H

I bolded the 4 hydrogens that can be subsituted by sodium.

Three of those hydrogens belong to carboxyl group (- CO2H) and one to a hydroxyl group (- OH).

You need to take into account that 4 H will form 2 H2 molecules.

So, the answer is that 2 moles of molecules will be formed from 1 mole of citric acid molecules.

The compound sodium thiosulfate pentahydrate, Na2S2O3 • 5H2O

Mnenie [13.5K]

The theoretical yield is 204.4 g while the percent yield is 2.57%.

<h3>What is theoretical yield?</h3>

Theoretical yield is the amount of product obtained based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

S8(s) + 8 Na2SO3(aq) + 40 H2O(l) --->8 Na2S2O3·5 H2O(s)

Number of moles of sulfur = 3.25 g /8(32) = 0.013 moles

Number of moles of sodium sulfite = 13.1 g/126 g/mol = 0.103 moles

Since 1 moles of sulfur reacts with 8 moles of sodium sulfite

0.013 moles reacts with 0.013 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.104 moles

There is not enough sodium sulfite hence it is the limiting reactant.

1 mole of sodium sulfite yields 8 moles of product

0.103 moles of sodium sulfite yields 0.103 moles × 8 moles /1 mole = 0.824 moles

Mass of product = 0.824 moles × 248 g/mol = 204.4 g

percent yield = 5.26 g /204.4 g × 100/1

= 2.57%

Give the empirical formula for C↓8H↓8

mr_godi [17]

Answer:

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

Explanation:

Data Given:

Molecular Formula = C₈H₈

Empirical Formula = ?

Solution

Empirical Formula:

Empirical formula is the simplest ration of atoms in the molecule but not all numbers of atoms in a compound.

So,

tha ration of the molecular formula should be divided by whole number to get the simplest ratio of molecule

C₈H₈ Consist of Carbon (C), and Hydrogen (H)

Now

Look at the ratio of these two atoms in the compound

C : H

8 : 8

Divide the ratio by two to get simplest ratio

C : H

8/8 : 8/8

1 : 1

So for the empirical formula is the simplest ratio of carbon to hydrogen 1 : 1

So the empirical formula will be

Empirical formula of C₈H₈ = CH

The balanced equation for a hypothetical reaction is a + 5b + 6c → 3d + 3e. what is the rate law for this reaction? rate = k [a]

nekit [7.7K]

<u>Answer: </u>The correct rate of the reaction is $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate law of the reaction is the expression which expresses the rate of the reaction in the terms of the molar concentrations of the reactants with each term raised to the power of their respective stoichiometric coefficients in a balanced chemical equation.

For the given reaction:

$a+5b+6c\rightarrow 3d+3e$

The expression for the rate law will be: $Rate=k[a][b]^5[c]^6$
