Answer:
330 mL of (NH₄)₂SO₄ are needed
Explanation:
First of all, we determine the reaction:
(NH₄)₂SO₄ + 2NaOH → 2NH₃ + 2H₂O + Na₂SO₄
We determine the moles of base:
(First, we convert the volume from mL to L) → 62.6 mL . 1L/1000 mL = 0.0626L
Molarity . volume (L) = 2.31 mol/L . 0.0626 L = 0.144 moles
Ratio is 2:1. Therefore we make a rule of three:
2 moles of hydroxide react with 1 mol of sulfate
Then, 0.144 moles of NaOH must react with (0.144 .1) /2 = 0.072 moles
If we want to determine the volume → Moles / Molarity
0.072 mol / 0.218 mol/L = 0.330 L
We convert from L to mL → 0.330L . 1000 mL/1L = 330 mL
