Explanation:

Sulphur dioxide is oxidised by the oxygen in the atmosphere to form sulphur trioxide, the major component in acid rain.

2SO2 + O2 - - > 2SO3

The subsequent Sulphur trioxide reacts with water in the rain/lake/river to form sulphuric acid.

SO3 + H20 - - > H2SO4

The sulphuric acid undergoes ionisation to form:

In major quantities ;

H2SO4 <----> H+ + HSO4-

And

In smaller quantities to form sulphate ion;

H2SO4 <---> 2H+ + SO4^-2

How many moles of Na2SO4 can be made with 7.28 mol of H2SO4?
Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

7.28 mol Na2SO4

Explanation:

Since it is already in moles, all we have to do is use a molar ratio

A molar ratio is the proportions of reactants and products using the balanced equation. When writing a mole ratio, the given information must cross out with the right thing.

7.28 mol H2SO4 * 1 mol Na2SO4/1 H2SO4 = 7.28 mol Na2SO4

*notice how the H2SO4 crosses out
