Answer:

Double replacement reaction

Explanation:

Now, let us first write the reaction equation properly:

H₂SO₄ + 2KOH ⇒ K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O

The above reaction is a neutralization reaction between an acid and a base whose product gives salt and water only at most instances.

From here, we can observe that the species displaces on another in their ionic state. Hydrogen replaces potassium and water is produced. Potassium combines chemically with sulfate ions to give the salt of potassium.

How many formula units are there in 450 g of Na2S04?

Mashutka [201]

Formula units in 450 g of $Na_{2} So_{4}$ is 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

Explanation:

First we have to find the number of moles in the given mass by dividing the mass by its molar mass as,

$$\frac{450 g}{142.04 g/mol} = 3.2 moles$

Now, we have to multiply the number of moles of Na₂SO₄ by the Avogadro's number, 6.022 × 10²³ formula units/mol, so we will get the number of formula units present in the given mass of the compound.

3.2 mol × 6.022 × 10²³ = 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units.

So, 1.93 × 10²⁴ formula units is present in 450g of Na₂SO₄.

If you weighed out 0.38 g of calcium and reacted it with an excess of hcl, how many moles of h2(g) would you expect to produce?

Hitman42 [59]

Answer is: 0,0095 mol of hydrogen gas will be produced in reaction.
Chemical reaction: Ca + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂.
m(Ca) = 0,38 g.
n(H₂) = ?
n(Ca) = m(Ca) ÷ M(Ca).
n(Ca) = 0,38 g ÷ 40 g/mol
n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
from reaction: n(Ca) : n(H₂) = 1 : 1.
n(H₂) = n(Ca) = 0,0095 mol.
n - amount of substance.

Compare 1 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and 1 mole of F2. (a) Which has the largest number of molecules? Explain why. (b) Which has

AURORKA [14]

a) Answer:

Number of molecules in 1 mole

Explanation:

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be $6.023 x 10^23$

b) Answer:

In the given question mass of the substance which is greatest is asked for one mole and we also know that mass of one mole is given by molar mass.

Explanation:

b) It is known that $31.98g/mol$ is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of $38.0 g/mol$ which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
