This is an acid base reaction and the chemical equation for the above reaction is as follows;
KOH + HClO₄ ---> KClO₄ + H₂O
the stoichiometry of acid to base is 1:1
KOH is a strong base and HClO₄ is a strong acid therefore they both ionize completely into their respective ions
Number of KOH moles - 0.723 M/1000 mL/L x 25.0 mL = 0.018 mol
Number of HClO₄ moles - 0.273 M/1000 mL/L x 50 mL = 0.013 mol
since acid and base react completely, 0.013 mol of acid reacts with 0.013 mol of base.
The excess base remaining is - 0.018 - 0.013 = 0.005 mol
total volume of solution = 25.0 mL + 50.0 mL = 75.0 mL
[OH⁻] = 0.005 mol/0.075 L = 0.067 M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log(0.067 M)
pOH = 1.17
pOH + pH = 14
Therefore pH = 14 - 1.17 = 12.83
by knowing pH we can calculate the [H₃O⁺]
pH = -log [H₃O⁺]
[H₃O⁺] = antilog[-12.83]
[H₃O⁺]= 1.47 x 10⁻¹³ M
1) Chemical equation
16Fe(s) + 3S8(s) ---> 8Fe2S3
2) Molar ratios:
16 mol Fe : 3 mole S8 : 8 mol Fe2S3
3) Convert masses in grams to number of moles
number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass
a) iron, Fe
mass = 3.0 g
atomic mass = 55.845 g/mol
=> number of moles of Fe = 3.0g / 55.845 g/mol = 0.0537 mol
b) Sulfur, S8
mass = 2.5 g
molar mass = 8*32.065 g/mol = 256.52 g/mol
=> number of moles of S8 = 2.5g / 256.52 g/mol = 0.009746 mol
4) Limiting reactant
Theoretical ratio actual ratio
16 mol Fe / 3 mol S8 0.0537 mol Fe / 0.009746 mol S8
5.33 5.50
So, there is a little bit more Fe than the theoretical needed to react all the S8, which means the S8 is the limiting reactant.
5) Calculate the number of moles of iron (III) produced with 2.5 g (0.009746 moles) of S8
3moles S8 / 8 moles Fe2S3 = 0.009746 moles S8 / x
=> x = 0.009746 * 8 / 3 moles Fe2S3 = 0.026 moles Fe2S3
6) Convert 0.026 moles Fe2S3 into grams
mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass
molar mass of Fe2S3 = 207.9 g/mol
mass = 0.026 mol * 207.9 g/mol = 5.40 g
7) Answer: option D)
Answer: The balanced equation for the given reaction is
.
Explanation:
A chemical equation which contains same number of atoms on both reactant and product side.
For example, 
Here, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
To balance this equation, multiply 
by 2 on reactant side and multiply 
by 2. Hence, the equation will be re-written as follows.
Here, number of atoms on reactant side are as follows.
Number of atoms on product side are as follows.
Now, there are same number of atoms on both reactant and product side. So, this equation is balanced.
Thus, we can conclude that the balanced equation for the given reaction is .
Answer:
[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M
Explanation:
The acidity of a solution can be determined directly from the concentration of the hydrogen ions and indirectly from the concentrations of the hydroxide ions.
Generally, for a neutral solution we have;
[H3O+] = [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-7 M
For an acidic solution;
[H3O+] > 1.0 x 10-7 M
[OH-] < 1.0 x 10-7 M
Comparing the options the correct option is;
[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-10 M
