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

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

[RxN - Unbalanced] Mg (s) + HCl (aq) → MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

↓

[RxN - Balanced] 2Mg (s) + 2HCl (aq) → 2MgCl (aq) + H₂ (g)

[Given] 3.25 mol Mg

[Solve] x g HCl

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[RxN] 2 mol Mg → 2 mol HCl

[PT] Molar Mass of H - 1.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of Cl - 35.45 g/mol

Molar Mass of HCl - 1.01 + 35.45 = 36.46 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Stoich</u>

  1. [S - DA] Set up:                                                                                                 \displaystyle 3.25 \ mol \ Mg(\frac{2 \ mol \ HCl}{2 \ mol \ Mg})(\frac{36.46 \ g \ HCl}{1 \ mol \ HCl})
  2. [S - DA] Multiply/Divide [Cancel out units]:                                                    \displaystyle 127.61 \ g \ HCl

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 3 sig figs.</em>

127.61 g HCl ≈ 128 g HCl

musickatia [10]
The correct answer is the second option. During fusion, uranium atoms are fused together. Fusion reaction happens when two or more nuclei combine or collide to form an element with a higher atomic number. In this process, some of the matter of the fusing nuclei is converted to energy.
