<h3>Answer:</h3>

16.02 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>We are given;</u>

  • Mass of chromium as 12.85 g
  • Mass of phosphoric acid as 10.72 g

We are require to calculate the maximum mass of chromium (III) phosphate that can be produced.

  • The equation for the reaction is;

2Cr(s) + 2H₃PO₄(aq) → 2CrPO₄(s) + 3H₂(g)

<h3>Step 1: Determining the number of moles of Chromium and phosphoric acid</h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of chromium = 52.0 g/mol

Moles of Chromium = 12.85 g ÷ 52.0 g/mol

                                 = 0.247 moles

Molar mass of phosphoric acid = 97.994 g/mol

Moles of phosphoric acid = 10.72 g ÷ 97.994 g/mol

                                          = 0.109 moles

<h3>Step 2: Determine the rate limiting reactant </h3>
  • From the equation, 2 moles of chromium reacts with 2 moles of phosphoric acid.
  • Therefore, 0.247 moles of Chromium will require 0.247 moles of phosphoric acid, but we only have 0.109 moles.
  • This means chromium is in excess and phosphoric acid is the rate limiting reagent.
<h3>Step 3: Moles of Chromium(III) phosphate</h3>
  • From the equation, 2 moles of phosphoric acid reacts to yield 2 moles of chromium (III) phosphate.
  • Therefore, Moles of Chromium (III) phosphate = Moles of phosphoric acid

Hence; moles of CrPO₄ = 0.109 moles

<h3>Step 4: Maximum mass of  CrPO₄ that can be produced</h3>

We know that, mass = Moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of  CrPO₄ = 146.97 g/mol

Thus,

Mass of  CrPO₄ = 0.109 moles × 146.97 g/mol

                         = 16.02 g

Thus, the maximum mass of CrPO₄ that can be produced is 16.02 g

Convert 15.2 moles of K to atoms of K.
choli [55]

Answer:

\boxed {\boxed {\sf 9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K}}

Explanation:

To convert atoms to moles, Avogadro's Number must be used: 6.022*10²³.

This tells us the amount of particles (atoms, molecules, etc.) in 1 mole of a substance. In this case it is the atoms of potassium. We can create a ratio.

\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }

Multiply by the given number of moles: 15.2

15.2 \ mol \ K *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 \ mol \ K }

The moles of potassium cancel.

15.2 *\frac {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{ 1 }

The denominator of 1 can be ignored.

15.2 * {6.022*10^{23} \ atoms \ K }{

Multiply.

9.15344*10^{24} \ atoms \ K

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated that is the hundredth place. The 3 in the thousandth place tells us to leave 5.

9.15*10^{24} \ atoms \ K

In 15.2 moles of potassium, there are <u>9.15*10²⁴ atoms of potassium.</u>

A water sample has a pH of 8.2 and a bicarbonate concentration of 97 mg/L. What is the alkalinity of the sample in moles/L and i
goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:6.94

Explanation:

Molar mass of CaCO3=40+12+16×3

=40+12+48=100g/mol

Moles=mass of substance/molar mass

=97mg/100g=0.097/100=0.00097moles/L.

PH=-log[CaCo3]=-log(0.00097)=6.94

P.s it's log to base e
