<u>Answer:</u> The mass of potassium sulfate that can be produced is 73.88 grams

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}     .....(1)

  • <u>For KOH:</u>

Given mass of KOH = 23.8 g

Molar mass of KOH = 56.1 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of KOH}=\frac{23.8g}{56.1g/mol}=0.424mol

The chemical equation for the reaction of KOH and potassium hydrogen sulfate follows:

KHSO_4+KOH\rightarrow K_2SO_4+H_2O

As, potassium hydrogen sulfate is present in excess. It is considered as an excess reagent.

KOH is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of KOH produces 1 mole of potassium sulfate

So, 0.424 moles of KOH will produce = \frac{1}{1}\times 0.424=0.424moles of potassium sulfate

Now, calculating the mass of potassium sulfate from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of potassium sulfate = 174.26 g/mol

Moles of potassium sulfate = 0.424 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.424mol=\frac{\text{Mass of potassium sulfate}}{174.26g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of potassium sulfate}=(0.424mol\times 174.26g/mol)=73.88g

Hence, the mass of potassium sulfate that can be produced is 73.88 grams

Calculate the density of an aluminum block with a volume of 100 cm3 and a mass of 270g.
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

<h2>2.7 g/cm³</h2>

Explanation:

The density of a substance can be found by using the formula

density =  \frac{mass}{volume}  \\

From the question we have

density =  \frac{270}{100}  =  \frac{27}{10} \\

We have the final answer as

<h3>2.7 g/cm³</h3>

Hope this helps you

HC1 solution is mostly water. NaOH solution is mostly water. When 50mL of HC1 is mixed with 50mL of NaOH, what is the final mass
elixir [45]
Since water has a density of about 1g/mL, and we are assuming HCl and NaOH are mostly water, the total mass of the 2 solutions is 100 g.
Due to the conservation of mass, the mass of product must equal the total mass of reactant, therefore the final mass must also be 100 g.
