Type the correct answer in the box. Express your answer to three significant figures. This balanced equation shows the reaction

of sodium hydroxide and sulfuric acid: 2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O. In a laboratory experiment, a student mixes 355 grams of sulfuric acid with an excess of sodium hydroxide. What is the theoretical mass of sodium sulfate produced? Refer to the periodic table and the polyatomic ion resource. The theoretical mass of sodium sulfate is grams.

Answer:

514.5 g.

Explanation:

The balanced equation of the reaction is: 2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O.

It is clear that every 2.0 moles of NaOH react with 1.0 mole of H₂SO₄ to produce 1.0 mole of Na₂SO₄ and 2.0 moles of 2H₂O.

Since NaOH is in excess, so H₂SO₄ is the limiting reactant.

We need to calculate the no. of moles of 355.0 g of H₂SO₄:

n of H₂SO₄ = mass/molar mass = (355.0 g)/(98.0 g/mol) = 3.622 mol.

Using cross multiplication:

∵ 1.0 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 1.0 mol of Na₂SO₄.

∴ 3.622 mol H₂SO₄ produces → 3.662 mol of Na₂SO₄.

Now, we can get the theoretical mass of Na₂SO₄:

∴ mass of Na₂SO₄ = no. of moles x molar mass = (3.662 mol)(142.04 g/mol) = 514.5 g.

Answer:

1. 3.70 g Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

2. 50.0 mL of the first solution

Explanation:

1. Prepare the solution

(a) Calculate the molar mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\begin{array}{rrr}\textbf{Atoms} &\textbf{M}_{\textbf{r}} & \textbf{Mass/u}\\\text{2Na} & 2\times22.99 & 45.98\\\text{1C} & 1\times 12.01 & 12.01\\\text{13O}&13 \times16.00 & 208.00\\\text{20H}&20 \times 1.008 & 20.16\\&\text{TOTAL =} & \mathbf{286.15}\\\end{array}$

The molar mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O is 286.15 g/mol.

(b) Calculate the moles of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\text{Moles of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}\\= \text{0.250 L solution} \times \dfrac{\text{0.0500 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 L solution}}\\\\= \text{0.0125 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}$

(c) Calculate the mass of Na₂CO₃·10H₂O

$\text{Mass of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O }\\= \text{0.012 50 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O } \times \dfrac{\text{296.15 g Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}{\text{1 mol Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}}\\\\= \text{3.70 g Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}\\\text{You need $\large \boxed{\textbf{3.70 g}}$ of Na$_{2}$CO$_{3}\cdot$10H$_{2}$O}$

2. Dilute the solution

We can use the dilution formula to calculate the volume needed.

V₁c₁ = V₂c₂

Data:

V₁ = ?; c₁ = 0.0500 mol·L⁻¹

V₂ = 100 mL; c₂ = 0.0250 mol·L⁻¹

Calculation:

$\begin{array}{rcl}V_{1}c_{1} & = & V_{2}c_{2}\\V_{1}\times \text{0.0500 mol/L} & = & \text{100 mL} \times\text{0.0250 mol/L}\\0.0500V_{1}& = & \text{2.500 mL}\\V_{1}&=& \dfrac{\text{2.500 mL}}{0.0500}\\\\& = & \text{50.0 mL}\\\end{array}\\\text{You need $\large \boxed{\textbf{50.0 mL}}$ of the concentrated solution.}$

An astronomer is a guest speaker at your school. She states that iron is the very last product in stellar fusion. Why would she

Zarrin [17]

Iron is the very last product in stellar fusion is that; Iron has a tightly bound nucleus, and atoms larger than iron are less stable and tend to undergo nuclear fission.

The stability of an atom is dependent on the binding energy per nucleon of the atom.

The binding energy per nucleon of elements increases steadily until iron, we can see that from the curve very easily.

Beyond iron, we have exceeded the region of stable binding energy per nucleon of atoms. The atoms after iron in the curve are mostly unstable heavy nuclei.

What is the net amount of energy released when one mole of h2o(?) is produced?

german

The net amount of energy produced can be obtained from a table of enthalpy change of formation, available online.

The enthalpy change of formation indicate how much energy the 1 mole of the product (H2O) has relative to the elemental reactants (H2 and O2). In other words, the "lost" energy equals the heat/energy released.

For water (H2O), this value is -285.8 if the final product is a liquid under standard conditions, and -241.82 if the product is in gas form which contains some energy that could be further released. This means that if the final product (H2O) is in liquid form, energy released is 285.8 kJ/mol.

Since water is in liquid form under standard conditions, the first value (285.8 kJ/mol) is generally appropriate.
