Answer:

0.72g

Explanation:

Step 1:

We'll begin by writing a balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH —> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Step 2:

Determination of the mass of sulphuric acid (H2SO4) and the mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar Mass of H2SO4 = (2x1) + 32 +(16x4) = 2 + 32 + 64 = 98g/mol

Molar Mass of NaOH = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40g/mol

Mass of NaOH from the balanced equation = 2 x 40 = 80g

Step 3

Determination of the limiting reactant. To do this, we need to know which of the reactant is excess.

Now let us consider using all of the mass of NaOH given to see if there will be left over for H2SO4. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

98g of H2SO4 required 80g of NaOH.

Therefore, Xg of H2SO4 will require 1.6g of NaOH i.e

Xg of H2SO4 = (98x1.6)/80

Xg of H2SO4 = 1.96g

Now comparing the mass of H2SO4 that reacted ( i.e 1.96g) and the mass of H2SO4 given ( i.e 2.94g), we can see clearly that there are left over ( i.e 2.94 - 1.96 = 0.98g) of H2SO4. Therefore, H2SO4 is the excess reactant and NaOH is the limiting reactant.

Step 4:

Determination of the mass of water produced from the reaction. This is illustrated below:

The balanced equation for the reaction is given below:

H2SO4 + 2NaOH —> Na2SO4 + 2H2O

Molar Mass of H2O = (2x1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass of H2O from the balanced equation = 2 x 18 = 36g

From the balanced equation above,

80g of NaOH reacted to produced 36g of H2O.

Therefore, 1.6g of NaOH will react to produce = (1.6 x 36)/80 = 0.72g of H2O.

Therefore, the maximum mass of water (H2O) produced by the chemical reaction of aqueous sulfuric acid with solid sodium hydroxide is 0.72g

Which process is expected to have an increase in entropy?
olganol [36]

Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Degree of randomness of the molecules of a substance is known as entropy. More is the kinetic energy between the molecules of a substance more will be the degree of randomness.

Therefore, when a substance is present in a gaseous state then it has the maximum entropy. In liquid state, molecules are closer to each other so, there is less randomness between them.

On the other hand, in solid state molecules are much more closer to each other as they arr held by strong intermolecular forces of attraction. Therefore, they have very less entropy.

  • When liquid water is formed from gaseous hydrogen and oxygen molecules then gas is changing into liquid. So, there is decrease in entropy.
  • When N_{2}O_{4} decomposes then the reaction will be as follows.

            N_{2}O_{4} \rightarrow 2NO_{2}

Since, 1 mole is producing 2 moles. This means that degree of randomness is increasing as both the molecules are present in gaseous form.

  • In formation of a precipitate, aqueous solution is changing into solid state. Hence, degree of randomness is decreasing.
  • Rusting of iron also leads to the formation of solid as it forms Fe_{2}O_{3}.xH_{2}O.

Thus, we can conclude that decomposition of N_{2}O_{4} gas to NO_{2} gas is the process that is expected to have an increase in entropy.

What is the pressure of 1.20 moles of SO2 gas in a 4L container at 30 degrees celsius
geniusboy [140]
Let suppose the Gas is acting Ideally, Then According to Ideal Gas Equation,

                                       P V  =  n R T
Solving for P,
                                       P  =  n R T / V     ----- (1)
Data Given;

Moles  = n = 1.20 mol

Volume  = V =  4 L

Temperature  = T = 30 + 273 = 303 K

Gas Constant  = R = 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹

Putting Values in Eq.1,

                     P  =  (1.20 mol × 0.08206 atm.L.mol⁻¹.K⁻¹ × 303 K) ÷ 4 L

                     P  =  7.45 atm
