How many grams of silver nitrate are needed to react with 156.2g of sodium sulfide to produce 595.8g of silver sulfide and 340.0
qaws [65]
Before proceeding, we should write the reaction equation to better understand what is happening:
2AgNO₃ + Na₂S → Ag₂S + 2NaNO₃

Now, we may apply the law of conservation of mass, due to which the total mass before a chemical reaction is equivalent to the total mass after a chemical reaction. Therefore:
Mass of silver nitrate + mass of sodium sulfide = mass of silver sulfide + mass of sodium nitrate

Mass of silver nitrate + 156.2 = 595.8 + 340
Mass of silver nitrate = 779.6 grams

Strontium sulfate becomes less soluble in an aqueous solution when sodium sulfator is added because
horsena [70]

Answer:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, according to the following ionization of strontium sulfate:

SrSO_3(s)\rightleftharpoons Sr^{2+}+SO_4^{2-}

It is evidenced that when sodium sulfate is added, sulfate, SO_4^{2+} is actually added in to the solution, which causes the equilibrium to shift leftwards according to the Le Ch athelier's principle. Thus, the answer in this case would be:

The addition of sulfate ions shifts equilibrium to the left.

Best regards!

please hurry! If 3.87g of powdered aluminum oxide is placed in a container containing 5.67g of water, what is the limiting react
VikaD [51]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Mass of aluminium oxide = 3.87g

Mass of water = 5.67g

Unknown:

Limiting reactant = ?

Solution:

The limiting reactant is the reactant in short supply in a chemical reaction. We need to first write the chemical equation and convert the masses given to the number of moles.

Using the number of moles, we can ascertain the limiting reactants;

         Al₂O₃  + 3H₂O  →  2Al(OH)₃  

Number of moles;

            Number of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}

molar mass of Al₂O₃  = (2x27) + 3(16) = 102g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{3.87}{102}  = 0.04mole

   

molar mass of  H₂O = 2(1) + 16 = 18g/mole

    number of moles = \frac{5.67}{18}  = 0.32mole

From the reaction equation;

        1 mole of  Al₂O₃  reacted with 3 moles of H₂O

   0.04 mole of Al₂O₃ will react with 3 x 0.04 mole = 0.12 mole of H₂O

But we were given 0.32 mole of H₂O and this is in excess of amount required.

This shows that Al₂O₃ is the limiting reactant

Compare 1 mole of H2, 1 mole of O2, and 1 mole of F2. (a) Which has the largest number of molecules? Explain why. (b) Which has
AURORKA [14]

<u>a) Answer: </u>

<em>Number of molecules in 1 mole</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

a) Whether we take any of the substance among all three of the given substances they will have the same number of molecules in 1 mole of the substance is considered and the value for this will be 6.023 x 10^23

<u>b)  Answer: </u>

<em>In the given question </em><em>mass of the substance</em><em> which is </em><em>greatest</em><em> is asked for </em><em>one mole</em><em> and we also know that </em><em>mass of one mole is given by molar mass.  </em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

b) It is known that 31.98g/mol is the molar mass for oxygen which is greater than that of hydrogen while fluorine has a molar mass of 38.0 g/mol which on comparison shows that, it is the highest amongst all three.
