A 0.964 gram sample of a mixture of sodium formate and sodium chloride is analyzed by adding sulfuric acid. The equation for the

frosja888 [35]

Answer: 67.8 %.

Explanation:

Okay, let us delve right into the solution to the question;

The balanced chemical reaction is given by the equation (1) below;

2 HCOONa + H2SO4 ---------> 2 CO + 2 H2O + Na2SO4. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------(1).

From the balanced chemical reaction in equation (1) above we can see that; 2 moles of HCOONa reacts with one moles of tetraoxosulphate acid, H2SO4 to produce 2 moles of carbonmonoxide,CO; 2 moles of water, H2O and 1 mole of sodium tetraoxosulphate, Na2SO4.

The parameters given from the question are; total atmospheric pressure, P(t) = 752 torr, volume of CO= 242 mL = 0.242 Litres.

STEP ONE : find the carbon monoxide,CO pressure; P(CO).

Using the formula below;

P(t) = P(CO) + P(H2O). Hence;

P(CO) = P(t) - P(H2O). Note that P(H2O)= 19.8 torr.

==>P(CO)= 752 torr - 19.8 torr = 732.2 torr.

STEP TWO: calculate the number of moles of Carbonmonoxide,CO.

Using the formula below;

Number of moles= pressure(P) × volume(v) / gas constant(R) × temperature (T).

That is, n= PV/RT.

n= 732 torr × 0.242 Litres/ 62.4 × 295.15.

= 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO.

STEP THREE:

2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO.

=> 2 moles of HCOONa = 2 moles of CO/ 2 moles of CO = 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

Then, 9.62 × 10^-3 mol of CO × 1 mol( HCOONa/ CO).

==> 9.62 × 10^-3 mol HCOONa × molar masss of HCOONa(68 grams/mol)

= 0.654 grams.

Therefore, the percentage of sodium formate in the original mixture = 0.654 grams/ 0.964 gram × 100 = 67.8 %.

astraxan [27]

Answer:

On the periodic table, each column is called a group. So, the answer is D. groups.

Explanation:

A) is incorrect because the rows on the periodic table are called periods.

B) is incorrect because the elements are what is organized on the periodic table.

C) is incorrect because the periods are the rows on the periodic table.

D) is the correct answer because the columns on the periodic table are called groups.

lesya [120]

Answer: The products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

Explanation:

A chemical reaction in which triglycerides react with sodium hydroxide and leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of a salt of fatty acid is known as saponification.

For example, when tripalmitin reacts with sodium hydroxide then it leads to the formation of one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.

The reaction equation is as follows.

$C_{51}H_{98}O_{6} + NaOH \rightarrow C_{3}H_{8}O_{3} + 3C_{16}H_{31}O_{2}Na^{+}$

Thus, we can conclude that the products of the saponification of glyceryl tripalmitate (tripalmitin) are one molecule of glycerol and three molecules of sodium salt of palmitic acid.
