The correct answer is approximately 11.73 grams of sulfuric acid.

The theoretical yield of water from Al(OH)3 is lower than that of H₂SO₄. As a consequence, Al(OH)3 is the limiting reactant, H₂SO₄ is in excess.

The balanced equation is:

2Al(OH)₃ + 3H₂SO₄ ⇒ Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O

Each mole of Al(OH)3 corresponds to 3/2 moles of H₂SO₄. The molecular mass of Al(OH)3 is 78.003 g/mol. There are 15/78.003 = 0.19230 moles of Al(OH)3 in the five grams of Al(OH)3 available. Al(OH)3 is in limiting, which means that all 0.19230 moles will be consumed. Accordingly, 0.19230 × 3/2 = 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ will be consumed.

The molar mass of H₂SO₄ is 98.706 g/mol. The mass of 0.28845 moles of H₂SO₄ is 0.28845 × 98.706 = 28.289 g

40 grams of sulfuric acid is available, out of which 28.289 grams is consumed. The remaining 40-28.289 = 11.711 g is in excess, which is closest to the first option, that is, 11.73 grams of H₂SO₄.

how many moles of sodium are needed to react with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate according to the followi

anastassius [24]

Hello!

You'll need to react 7,5 moles of Sodium with sulfuric acid to produce 3.75 moles of sodium sulfate

First of all, you need to balance the reaction. The balanced reaction is shown below (ensuring that the Law of Conservation of Mass is met on both sides):

2Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

Now, all that you have to do is to use molar equivalences in this reaction applying the coefficients to calculate the moles of Sodium that you'll need:

$molesNa=3,75moles Na_{2} SO_4* \frac{2 moles Na}{1 mol Na_{2} SO_4} =7,5 moles Na$

Which of the following actions would cause the volume of the chamber below to increase to 36.0 L?

Orlov [11]

Answer:

Option C. Triple the number of moles

Explanation:

From the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

Where:

P is the pressure

V is the volume

n is the number of mole

R is the gas constant

T is the absolute temperature.

Making V the subject of the above equation, we have:

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT / P

Thus, we can say that the volume (V) is directly proportional to both the number of mole (n) and absolute temperature (T) and inversely proportional to the pressure (P). This implies that and increase in either the number of mole, the absolute temperature and a decrease in the presence will cause the volume to increase.

Thus, the correct option is option C triple the number of moles. This can further be seen as illustrated below:

Initial volume (V1) = 12 L

Initial mole (n1) = 0.5 mole

Final mole (n2) = triple the initial mole = 3 × 0.5 = 1.5 mole

Final volume (V2) =?

From:

V = nRT / P, keeping T and P constant, we have:

V1/n1 = V2/n2

12/0.5 = V2/1.5

24 = V2/1.5

Cross multiply

V2 = 24 × 1.5

V2 = 36 L.

Thus Option C gives the correct answer to the question.
