Answer:

The attraction between charged ions releases energy.

Explanation:

The attraction between charged ions releases energy.

When electrons move they create an electric current.

Because the reactions are exothermic, they produce an electric current.

The reactions also induce the movement of the electrons.

Answer:

You can view more details on each measurement unit: molecular weight of H2S or grams This compound is also known as Hydrogen Sulfide. The SI base unit for amount of substance is the mole. 1 mole is equal to 1 moles H2S, or 34.08088 grams. Note that rounding errors may occur, so always check the results.

Aqueous sulfuric acid reacts with solid sodium hydroxide to produce aqueous sodium sulfate and liquid water . If of water is pro

MAVERICK [17]

Answer: The percent yield of water is 46.9 %

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

$\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}$ .....(1)

For sulfuric acid:

Given mass of sulfuric acid = 72.6 g (Assuming)

Molar mass of sulfuric acid = 98 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of sulfuric acid}=\frac{72.6g}{98g/mol}=0.741mol$

For NaOH:

Given mass of NaOH = 77 g (Assuming)

Molar mass of NaOH = 40 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{Moles of NaOH}=\frac{77g}{40g/mol}=1.925mol$

The chemical equation for the reaction of sulfuric acid and sodium hydroxide follows:

$H_2SO_4+2NaOH\rightarrow Na_2SO_4+2H_2O$

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of NaOH

0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482mol$ of NaOH

As, given amount of NaOH is more than the required amount. So, it is considered as an excess reagent.

Thus, sulfuric acid is considered as a limiting reagent because it limits the formation of product.

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

1 mole of sulfuric acid reacts with 2 moles of water

0.741 moles of sulfuric acid will react with = $\frac{2}{1}\times 0.741=1.482mol$ of water

Now, calculating the mass of water from equation 1, we get:

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 1.482 moles

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$1.482mol=\frac{\text{Mass of water}}{18g/mol}\\\\\text{Mass of water}=(1.482mol\times 18g/mol)=26.67g$

To calculate the percentage yield of water, we use the equation:

$\%\text{ yield}=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

Experimental yield of water = 12.5 g (Assuming)

Theoretical yield of water = 26.67 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\%\text{ yield of water}=\frac{12.5g}{26.67g}\times 100\\\\\% \text{yield of water}=46.9\%$

Hence, the percent yield of water is 46.9 %
