Suppose that 0.323 g of an unknown sulfate salt is dissolved in 50 mL of water. The solution is acidified with 6M HCl, heated, a

nd an excess of aqueous BaCl2 is slowly added to the mixture resulting in the formation of a white precipitate.
1. Assuming that 0.433 g of precipitate is recovered calculate the percent by mass of SO4 (2-) in the unknown salt.
2. If it is assumed that the salt is an alkali sulfate determine the identity of the alkali cation.

Answer:

1) 41.16 % = 0.182 grams

2) The alkali cation is K+ , to form the salt K2SO4

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of unknown sulfate salt = 0.323 grams

Volume of water = 50 mL

Molarity of HCl = 6M

Step 2: The balanced equation

SO4^2- + BaCl2 → BaSO4 + 2Cl-

Step 3: Calculate amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4

The precipitate will be BaSO4

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (Molar mass of SO4^2-/Molar mass BaSO4)*100 %

The amount of SO4^2- in BaSO4 = (96.06 /233.38) * 100

= 41.16%

So in 0.443g of BaSO4 there will be 0.443 * 41.16 % = <u>0.182 grams</u>

2. If it is assumed that the salt is an alkali sulfate determine the identity of the alkali cation.

The unknown sulphate salt has 0.182g of sulphate. This means the alkali cation has a weight of 0.323-0.182 = 0.141g grams

An alkali cation has a chargoe of +1; sulphate has a charge of -2

The formula will be X2SO4 (with X = the unknown alkali metal).

Calculate moles of sulphate

Moles sulphate = 0.182 grams (32.1 + 4*16)

Moles sulphate = 0.00189 moles

The moles of sulphate = 0.182/(32.1+16*4)

The moles of sulphate = 0.00189 moles

X2SO4 → 2X+ + SO4^2-

For 2 moles cation we have 1 mol anion

For 0.00189 moles anion, we have 2*0.00189 = 0.00378 moles cation

Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 0.141 grams / 0.00378 grams

Molar mass = 37.3 g/mol

The closest alkali metal is potassium. (K2SO4 )

Karl likes to use cruise control when he drives on
Yanka [14]

Answer:

3.96 MINUTES

Explanation:

Karl likes to use cruise control when he drives on

the highway. After setting cruise control at 33.53

m/s (75 mph). At this speed, how long would it

take Karl to travel 8 kilometers?

VELOCITY = DISTANCE/TIME

OR

V=D/T

SO

VT=D

SO

T=D/V

THE DISTANCE IS 8 KM

THE VELOCITY IS 75 MPH

THERE ARE 1.61 KM PER MILE

SO

75M[H =

75 X 1.61 KM/H =

121 KM/HR

T=D/V

T=8/121 =0.066 HOUR =

0.066 X 60 MINUTES =

3.96 MINUTES

CHECK

75 MPH =

(75 X 1.61) KM/60 MINUTES =

120,75 KM/60 MINUTES=

2.01 KM/MINUTE

to travel 8 K,M WILL TAKE

8/2.01 = 3.98 minutes
