If concentrated sulfuric acid is spilled during the experiment, what is the proper procedure for cleaning the spill?

1 answer:

5 0

Sulfuric acid (H2SO4) is a strong acid which should be neutralized with a base. Ideally, sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3) is used to treat acid spills. The reaction is as follows:

H2SO4 + 2NaHCO3 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O + 2CO2

Bubbles will be formed as CO2 is released. Once all H2SO4 has been neutralized the bubbles will stop. The pH of the spill after neutralization can be checked with a pH and should be between 6-9. If optimal pH is observed the waste can be disposed into a proper container and the work station can be cleaned with a paper towel.

A 2.0-liter aqueous solution contains a total of 3.0 moles of dissolved NH4Cl at 25°C and standard pressure.

vladimir1956 [14]

The molarity is a concentration unit which defined as the number of moles of solute divided by the number of liters of solution. So the molarity of the solution is 3/2=1.5 mol/L.

Calcium’s atomic number is 20. it forms ions with 18 electrons. what is the electrical charge of a calcium ion?

Gnom [1K]

It would be a positive charge because it lost two electrons, if the charge was neutral it would be the same amount of protons and electrons, if the charge was negative the electrons would be 20 instead of 18. So in this case it is positive.

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

11 g S

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

[PT] Molar Mass of S - 32.07 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

Set up: $\displaystyle 11 \ g \ S(\frac{1 \ mol \ S}{32.07 \ g \ S})$
Multiply/Divide: $\displaystyle 0.343 \ mol \ S$

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

0.343 mol S ≈ 0.34 mol S
