BaSO₄ is relatively harmless, but BaS is highly toxic.

BaSO₄ is quite insoluble (240 µg/100 mL). It is a <em>mild irritant</em> in cases of skin contact and inhalation. However, it is <em>safe enough</em> that health professionals ask patients to drink a suspension of BaSO₄. The Ba is opaque to X-rays, so it makes the stomach and intestines more visible to radiographers.

BaS is soluble (7.7 g/100 mL). It reacts slowly with water and more rapidly in the acid conditions of the stomach to <em>release H₂S</em>.

BaS + 2HCl ⟶ BaCl₂ + H₂S

An H₂S concentration of 60 mg/100 mL can be <em>fatal within 30 min</em>.

Answer: We do not know. We have not been given the solubility of oxygen in water at a given temperature nor have we been given the Henry's laws constant. We also do not know whether you mean 1 atmosphere of air, or 1 atmosphere of oxygen.

Does anyone know the answer to this chemistry question?!? How much HCl is made when 2g of hydrogen reacts? H2+Cl2->2HCl

jonny [76]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

72.19 g HCl

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the reaction between hydrogen gas and chlorine gas as;

H₂(g) + Cl₂(g) → 2HCl(g)

Mass of hydrogen gas that reacts is 2 g

We are required to determine the amount of HCl produced

<h3>Step 1: Determine the number of moles of H₂ used </h3>

Moles = Mass ÷ molar mass

Molar mass of Hydrogen gas = 2.02 g/mol

Thus;

Moles = 2 g ÷ 2.02 g/mol

= 0.99 moles

<h3>Step 2: Moles of HCl produced </h3>

From the reaction equation, 1 mole of hydrogen gas reacts to produce 2 moles of HCl

Therefore, the mole ratio of H₂ : HCl = 1 : 2

Thus, moles of HCl = 0.99 moles × 2

= 1.98 moles

<h3>Step 3: Mass of HCl produced </h3>

To calculate mass we multiply the number of moles by molar mass

Molar mass of HCl =36.46 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass of HCl = 36.46 g/mol × 1.98 moles

= 72.19 g

Thus, the amount of HCl produced during the reaction is 72.19 g

If hydrochloric acid is obtained commercially at a concentration of 12.1M, how many milliliters of 12.1M HCl(aq) must be used to

rewona [7]

Answer:

$V_1=82.6mL$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, according to this question, we will need to deal with this dilution problem, because it is asking for the volume of a 12.1-M stock solution of HCl. In such a way, we can use the following equation, under the assumption of no change in the number of moles in the solution:

$M_2V_2=M_1V_1$
