Balance the equation: 2Na + S --> Na2S
Using the given amount of the reactants in the reaction, calculate the amount of the product:
45.3g Na x (1 mol/22.99 g)= 1.97 mol of Na
105f S x (1 mol/ 32.06g) = 3.28 mol of S
The limiting reactant would be Na:
<span>1.97 mol Na x (1 mol Na2S/ 2 mol Na) x (78.04g/mol) = 76.87g of Na2S produced</span>
Answer:
The sum of each elementary step in a reaction mechanism must yield the overall reaction equation. From the rate law of the rate-determining step it must agree with the experimentally determined rate law. The rate-determining step is the slowest step in a reaction mechanism. Because it is the slowest, it determines the rate of the overall reaction.
Explanation:
The reaction between NaOH and H₂SO₄ is as follows;
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ ---> Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of base to acid is 2:1
NaOH is a strong acid and H₂SO₄ is a strong acid, therefore complete ionization into their respective ions takes place.
number of acid moles reacted - 0.112 M / 1000 mL/L x 39.1 mL = 0.0044 mol
the number of base moles required for neutralisation = 0.0044 x 2 = 0.0088 mol
Number of NaOH moles in 25.0 mL - 0.0088 mol
Therefore in 1000 mL - 0.0088 mol/ 25.0 mL x 1000 mL/L = 0.352 mol/L
Therefore molarity of NaOH - 0.352 M
Ethanol will evaporate first because it is more volatile or has a lower boiling point than water.
