Answer: 67.8 %.

Explanation:

Okay, let us delve right into the solution to the question;

The balanced chemical reaction is given by the equation (1) below;

2 HCOONa + H2SO4 ---------> 2 CO + 2 H2O + Na2SO4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the balanced chemical reaction in equation (1) above we can see that; 2 moles of HCOONa reacts with one moles of tetraoxosulphate acid, H2SO4 to produce 2 moles of carbonmonoxide,CO; 2 moles of water, H2O and 1 mole of sodium tetraoxosulphate, Na2SO4.

The parameters given from the question are; total atmospheric pressure, P(t) = 752 torr, volume of CO= 242 mL = 0.242 Litres.

STEP ONE : find the carbon monoxide,CO pressure; P(CO).

Using the formula below;

P(t) = P(CO) + P(H2O). Hence;

P(CO) = P(t) - P(H2O). Note that P(H2O)= 19.8 torr.

==>P(CO)= 752 torr - 19.8 torr = 732.2 torr.

STEP TWO: calculate the number of moles of Carbonmonoxide,CO.

Using the formula below;

Number of moles= pressure(P) × volume(v) / gas constant(R) × temperature (T).

That is, n= PV/RT.

n= 732 torr × 0.242 Litres/ 62.4 × 295.15.

= 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO.

STEP THREE:

2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO.

=> 2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO/ 2 moles of CO = 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

Then, 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO × 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

==> 9.62 × 10^-3 mol HCOONa × molar masss of HCOONa(68 grams/mol)

= 0.654 grams.

Therefore, the percentage of sodium formate in the original mixture = 0.654 grams/ 0.964 gram × 100 = 67.8 %.

How many grams of NaOH are<br> needed to make 400. mL of<br> 1.50 M solution?
juin [17]

Answer:

24g of NaOH are required

Explanation:

Molarity, M, is an unit of concentration widely used in chemistry defined as the ratio between moles of solute (In this case, NaOH), and volume of solution in liters.

We can find the moles of NaOH and its mass with the volume and desired concentration as follows:

<em>Moles NaOH:</em>

400.0mL = 0.400L * (1.50mol / L) = 0.600 moles NaOH

<em>Mass NaOH -Molar mass: 40.0g/mol-:</em>

0.600 moles * (40.0g / mol) =

<h3>24g of NaOH are required</h3>

What is the average mass of a single chlorine atom in grams
Archy [21]
<span>If you look at the chlorine box, with the symbol Cl, you see the atomic mass is equal to 35.453 atomic mass units. This is the weighted average mass of chlorine, including its isotopes, as found in nature. This also means that one mole of chlorine atoms has a mass of 35.453 grams.</span>

A compound has a pka of 7.4. to 100 ml of a 1.0 m solution of this compound at ph 8.0 is added 30 ml of 1.0 m hydrochloric acid.
Monica [59]
 Using the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation on the solution before HCl addition: pH = pKa + log([A-]/[HA]) 8.0 = 7.4 + log([A-]/[HA]); [A-]/[HA] = 4.0. (equation 1) Also, 0.1 L * 1.0 mol/L = 0.1 moles total of the compound. Therefore, [A-] + [HA] = 0.1 (equation 2) Solving the simultaneous equations 1 and 2 gives: A- = 0.08 moles AH = 0.02 moles Adding strong acid reduces A- and increases AH by the same amount. 0.03 L * 1 mol/L = 0.03 moles HCl will be added, soA- = 0.08 - 0.03 = 0.05 moles AH = 0.02 + 0.03 = 0.05 moles Therefore, after HCl addition, [A-]/[HA] = 0.05 / 0.05 = 1.0 Resubstituting into the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation: pH = 7.4 + log(1.0) = 7.4, the final pH.
