The balanced equation for the above reaction is as follows;
Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ --> BaSO₄ + 2NaCl
Na₂SO₄ reacts with BaCl₂ in the molar ratio 1:1
Number of Na₂SO₄ moles - 10.0 g / 142.1 g/mol = 0.0704 mol
Number of BaCl₂ moles - 10.0 g / 208.2 g/mol = 0.0480 mol
this means that 0.0480 mol of each reactant is used up, BaCl₂ is the limiting reactant and Na₂SO₄ has been provided in excess. 
stoichiometry of BaCl₂ to BaSO₄ is 1:1
number of BaSO₄ moles formed - 0.0480 mol
Mass of BaSO₄ - 0.0480 mol x 233.2 g/mol = 11.2 g
theoretical yield is 11.2 g but the actual yield is 12.0 g
the actual product maybe more than the theoretical yield of the product as the measured mass of the actual yield might contain impurities. 
percent yield - 12.0 g/ 11.2 g x 100% = 107% 
this is due to impurities present in the product or product could be wet.

Determine how many liters of hydrogen adjusted to STP there are in a 50.0 liter steel cylinder if the pressure inside is 100.0 a
Dvinal [7]

Answer : The volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 100.0 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas at STP = 1 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 50.0 L

V_2 = final volume of gas at STP = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 27.0^oC=273+27.0=300K

T_2 = final temperature of gas at STP = 0^oC=273+0=273K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{100.0atm\times 50.0L}{300K}=\frac{1atm\times V_2}{273K}

V_2=4550L

Therefore, the volume of hydrogen gas at STP is 4550 L.

A compound has an empirical formula of CH2 and a molar mass of 56 g. What is its molecular formula?
kipiarov [429]

Answer:

C4H8

Explanation:

First find the molar mass of CH2;

2(1.01) + 1(12.01) = 14.03g

Now divide the molar mass of the compound by the molar mass of CH2;

56g/14.03g = 3.9914 Round to nearest whole number = 4

Multiply CH2 by 4 to get the molecular formula;

CH2* 4 = C4H8

What is the term for the amount of energy that is needed for a chemical reaction to occur?
cupoosta [38]
<span>This would be the activation energy. This is usually in the form of heat, which allows the reaction to undergo some sort of transition. Many times, enzymes can be used as catalysts to lower the activation energy required for the reaction to take place.</span>

Ammonia gas decomposes to form nitrogen and hydrogen gases. NH3(g) → N2(g) 3H2(g) If the nitrogen gas is collected in a rigid 2
sveticcg [70]

Decomposition is a chemical reaction that breaks the reactant into two or more products. Moles of nitrogen gas (\rm N_{2}) in the cylinder is 1.63 moles.

<h3>What is the ideal gas equation?</h3>

The ideal gas equation states the relation of the hypothetical ideal gas according to the pressure, volume, temperature and moles of the gas. It is given by,

\rm PV = nRT

Where,

Pressure (P) = 2000 kPa

Volume (V) = 2L

Temperature (T) = 295 K

Gas constant (R)=  0.08206

Substituting values  in the equation:

\begin{aligned} \rm n &= \rm \dfrac{PV}{RT}\\\\&= \dfrac{2000 \times (\dfrac{1}{101.325}) \times 2}{0.08206 \times 295}\\\\&= 1.63\;\rm mol\end{aligned}

Therefore, 1.63 moles are produced.

Which of these describes an endothermic process?
Phoenix [80]
The third one down: "When barium hydroxide is mixed with ammonium chloride, ice crystals form on the outside of the container."

This is because an endothermic reaction [process] takes in more energy than it releases. Therefore because a decrease in energy leads to a decrease in temperature, the ice crystals forming show that it must be a endothermic reaction [process].

Hope this helps! :)
