Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is prepared commercially from elemental sulfur using the contact process. In a typical sequence of reactio

ns, the sulfur is first burned: S + O2 → SO2 , then it is converted to SO3 using a catalyst: 2 SO2 + O2 → 2 SO3 . The resulting SO3 is reacted with water to produce the desired product: SO3 + H2O → H2SO4 . How much sulfuric acid could be prepared from 83 moles of sulfur? Answer in units of g.

I believe the end result is still 83 moles since there is never an amount of sulfur atoms added to the initial amount, but rather oxygen and water is repeatedly added to it. To find it's weight, first find the molar mass of H2SO4:

H2 + S + O4 = 2.00 + 32.1 + 64.0 = 98.1 g/mol

and mass = (98.1 g/mol)(83 mol) = 8142.3 g

rounded to 8.1 x 10^3 g assuming 100% yield?

Answer:

8134gH_{2}SO_{4}

Explanation:

From the first reaction:

S+O_{2}=SO_{2}

Finding the number of moles using stoichiometry:

83molesS*\frac{1molSO_{2}}{1molS}=83molesSO_{2}

Using stoichiometry in the second reaction:

_{2}SO_{2}+O_{2}=_{2}SO_{3}

83molesSO_{2}*\frac{2molesSO_{3}}{2molesSO_{2}}=83molesSO_{3}

From the third reaction:

SO_{3}+H_{2}O=H_{2}SO_{4}

83molesSO_{3}*\frac{1molH_{2}SO_{4}}{1molSO_{3}}=83molesH_{2}SO_{4}

Finding the mass in grams of H_{2}SO_{4}:

83molesH_{2}SO_{4}*\frac{98gH_{2}SO_{4}}{1molH_{2}SO_{4}}=8134gH_{2}SO_{4}

An atom of 105In has a mass of 104.914558 amu. Calculate the binding energy in MeV per NUCLEON. Enter your answer with 3 signifi
joja [24]

Answer:

8.46

Explanation:

Atomic number : It is defined as the number of electrons or number of protons present in a neutral atom.

Also, atomic number of I = 549

Thus, the number of protons = 49

Mass number is the number of the entities present in the nucleus which is the equal to the sum of the number of protons and electrons.

Mass number = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

105 =  49 + Number of neutrons

Number of neutrons = 56

Mass of neutron = 1.008665 amu

Mass of proton = 1.007825 amu

Calculated mass = Number of protons*Mass of proton + Number of neutrons*Mass of neutron

Thus,

Calculated mass = (49*1.007825 + 56*1.008665) amu = 105.868665 amu

Mass defect = Δm = |105.868665 - 104.914558| amu = 0.954107 amu

The conversion of amu to MeV is shown below as:-

1 amu = 931.5 MeV

<u>So, Energy = 0.954107*931.5 MeV/atom = 888.750671 MeV/atom</u>

Also, 1 atom has 105 nucleons (Protons+neutrons)

<u>So, Energy = 888.750671 MeV/105nucleons = 8.46 MeV/nucleon</u>

<u>Answer:- 8.46</u>
