Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water. If 1.92 g of sodium

sulfate is produced from the reaction of 4.9 g of sulfuric acid and 7.8 g of sodium hydroxide, calculate the percent yield of sodium sulfate

7 0

Answer:

The % yield is 27.0 %

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: </u>Data given

Mass of sulfuric acid = 4.9 grams

Mass of sodium hydroxide = 7.8 grams

Mass of sodium sulfate produced = 1.92 grams

Molar mass H2SO4 = 98.08 g/mol

Molar mass NaOH = 40 g/mol

Molar mass Na2SO4 = 142.04 g/mol

<u>Step 2: </u>The balanced equation

H2SO4 + 2NaOH → Na2SO4 + 2H2O

<u>Step 3</u>: Calculate moles H2SO4

Moles H2SO4 = Mass H2SO4 / Molar mass H2SO4

Moles H2SO4 = 4.9 grams / 98.08 g/mol =

Moles H2SO4 = 0.05 moles

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = 7.8 grams / 40 g/mol

Moles NaOH = 0.195 moles

<u>Step 5</u>: Calculate limiting reactant

For 1 mole H2SO4 consumed ,we need 2 moles NaOH to produce 1 mole Na2SO4 and 2 moles H2O

H2SO4 is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed (0.05 moles).

NaOH is in excess. There will react 2*0.05 = 0.1 moles

There will remain 0.195 -0.1 = 0.095 moles NaOH

<u>Step 6:</u> Calculate moles Na2SO4

For 1 mole H2SO4 consumed ,we need 2 moles NaOH to produce 1 mole Na2SO4

For 0.05 moles H2SO4, we have 0.05 moles Na2SO4

<u>Step 7:</u> Calculate mass of Na2SO4

Mass Na2SO4 = Moles Na2SO4 * Molar mass Na2SO4

Mass = 0.05 moles * 142.04 g/mol = 7.102

This is the theoretical yield

<u>Step 8:</u> Calculate the percent yield of Na2SO4

% yield = (actual yield / theoretical yield) * 100%

% yield = (1.92 /  7.102) *100% = 27.0 %

The % yield is 27.0 %

The temperature and number of moles of a gas are held constant. Which of the following is true for the pressure of the gas?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Pressure is inversely proportional to the volume of gas.

Explanation:

According to Boyle's law,

The volume of given amount of gas is inversely proportional to the pressure applied on gas at constant volume and number of moles of gas.

Mathematical expression:

P ∝ 1/ V

P = K/V

PV = K

when volume is changed from V1 to V2 and pressure from P1 to P2 then expression will be.

P1V1 = K         P2V2 = K

P1V1 = P2V2

The total number of the elements above with 2 valence electron is ____.
OverLord2011 [107]

Answer:

four elements

Explanation:

He = 1s²

Be = 1s² 2s²

C = 1s² 2s² 2p²

Mg = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

Si = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p²

Ca = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s² 3p⁶ 4s²

Valence electrons are those electrons which are present in outer most electronic shell.

He, Be, Mg, Ca these four elements have 2 valence electrons.

While Si and C have four valance electrons.

Describe what half-life is.<br> answer in a paragraph please.
dangina [55]

Half-life is defined as the quantity to reduce to half of its initial value.

Explanation:

The term half-life is generally used in nuclear physics which describes how long a stable atom can survive a radioactive decay or how quickly an unstable stable atom can undergo radioactive decay. Half-life is a constant and does not have any units.

<u>The formula to calculate half-life: </u>

N(t) = \bold{N_{0} e^{-\lambda t}}

Here N(t) is the quantity which is “not decayed”.

N_0 is the “initial quantity” of the substance.

λ is the “decay constant”

Endergonic reactions:
guapka [62]

Answer : The correct option is, (b) occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.

Explanation :

Endergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is absorbed during the reaction.

In endergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is lower than the reactants. That means, ΔG > 0 and the reaction is non-spontaneous.

Exergonic reactions : It i defined as the reaction in which the energy is released during the reaction.

In exergonic reactions, the Gibbs free energy of product is greater than the reactants. That means, ΔG < 0 and the reaction is spontaneous.

Hence, the endergonic reactions is occur when there is more free energy in the reactants than the products.

How much water should be added to 85 mL of 0.45 M HCI to reduce the concentration to 0.20 M?
valkas [14]

Answer:

106.25 mL

Explanation:

For this, we can use

C1×V1=C2×V2

C1 = 0.45

V1 = 85

C2= 0.20

V2= ?

0.45 × 85 = 0.20 × V2

V2= (0.45 × 85)/0.20

V2=191.25mL

To find the amount of water added, subtract V1 from V2

191.25 - 85 =106.25mL
