What is the danger of distilling until the flask is dry?

A 1.00 g sample of a metal X (that is known to form X ions in solution) was added to 127.9 mL of 0.5000 M sulfuric acid. After a

Semenov [28]

<u>Answer:</u> The metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of NaOH solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 0.03340 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of NaOH}}{0.03340L}\\\\\text{Moles of NaOH}=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.03340L)=0.01670mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of NaOH and sulfuric acid follows:

$2NaOH+H_2SO_4\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

2 moles of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of sulfuric acid

So, 0.01670 moles of NaOH will react with = $\frac{1}{2}\times 0.01670=0.00835mol$ of sulfuric acid

Excess moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00835 moles

Calculating the moles of sulfuric acid by using equation 1, we get:

Molarity of sulfuric acid solution = 0.5000 M

Volume of solution = 127.9 mL = 0.1279 L (Conversion factor: 1 L = 1000 mL)

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.5000M=\frac{\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4}{0.1279L}\\\\\text{Moles of }H_2SO_4=(0.5000mol/L\times 0.1279L)=0.06395mol$

Number of moles of sulfuric acid reacted = 0.06395 - 0.00835 = 0.0556 moles

The chemical equation for the reaction of metal (forming $M^{3+}$ ion) and sulfuric acid follows:

$2X+3H_2SO_4\rightarrow X_2(SO_4)_3+3H_2$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of metal

So, 0.0556 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{3}\times 0.0556=0.0371mol$ of metal

To calculate the molar mass of metal for given number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$

Mass of metal = 1.00 g

Moles of metal = 0.0371 moles

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$0.0371mol=\frac{1.00g}{\text{Molar mass of metal}}\\\\\text{Molar mass of metal}=\frac{1.00g}{0.0371mol}=26.95g/mol$

Hence, the metal having molar mass equal to 26.95 g/mol is Aluminium

Which statement is true?

MissTica

Answer:

The correct answer is in an exothermic reaction the energy of the product is less than the energy of the reactants.

Explanation:

Exothermic reaction is a type of reaction that generates heat.As a result in case of an exothermic reaction the energy of the reactant is more than the energy of the product.

That"s why the enthalpy change in an exothermic reaction is always positive .

Explain how CO2 is absorbed into the ocean of H2O

Dmitrij [34]

The ocean absorbs CO2 from the atmosphere wherever air meets water. Wind causes waves, giving more opportunity for the water to absorb the carbon dioxide.

Gravity is a force that helps to hold the universe together.

My name is Ann [436]

Mhm, it keeps the planets in place and circle around the Sun's gravitational pull, like how the Earth's small-like gravitational pull keeps the moon to circle around our planet, and as a perk it makes the 80% water that around this whole place to have high and low tides.
