How many moles of O2 are required if 12 moles of CuFeS2 are consumed?
2 answers:
Answer:- 30 moles of oxygen are required if 12 moles of are consumed.
Solution:- The given balanced equation is:
From this balanced equation, there is 2:5 mol ratio between and
.
We are asked to calculate the moles of required to react with 12 moles of
.
It's a mol to mol conversion and the set up for this would be as:
=
So, 30 moles of oxygen are required to react with 12 moles of .

Among formic acid (HCOOH ) and sulfuric acid (H₂SO₄), formic acid is the weak acid. Acidic strength of any acid is the tendency of that acid to loose proton. Among these two acids formic acid has a pKa value of 3.74 greater than that of sulfuric acid i.e. -10. Remember! Greater the pKa value of acid weaker is that acid and vice versa. Below I have drawn the Ionization of both acids to corresponding conjugate bases and protons. The structures below with charges are drawn in order to explain the reason for strength. As it is seen in charged structure of formic acid, there is one positive charge on carbon next to oxygen carrying proton. The electron density is shifted toward carbon as it is electron deficient and demands more electron hence, attracting electron density from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond more polar. While, in case of sulfuric acid it is depicted that Sulfur attached to oxygen containing proton has 2+ charge, means more electron deficient as compared to carbon of formic acid, hence, more electron demanding and strongly attracting electrons from oxygen and making the oxygen hydrogen bond very polar and highly ionizable.
