<span>BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl
There is 1.0g of BaCl2 and 1.0g of Na2SO4, which is the limiting reagent?
"First convert grams into moles"
1.0g BaCl2 * (1 mol BaCl2 / 208.2g BaCl2) = 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2
1.0g Na2SO4 * (1 mol Na2SO4 / 142.04g Na2SO4) = 7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4
(7.0 x 10^-3 mol Na2SO4 / 4.8 x 10^-3 mol BaCl2 ) = 1.5 mol Na2SO4 / mol BaCl2
"From this ratio compare it to the equation, BaCl2+Na2SO4---->BaSO4+2NaCl"
The equation shows that for every mol of BaCl2 requires 1 mol of Na2SO4. But we found that there is 1.5 mol of Na2SO4 per mol of BaCl2. Therefore, BaCl2 is the limiting reagent.</span>
Answer:
- <u>No, you cannot dissolve 4.6 moles of copper sulfate, CuSO₄, in 1750mL of water.</u>
Explanation:
This question is part of a Post-Lab exercise sheet.
Such sheet include the saturation concentrations for several salts.
The saturation concentration of Copper Sulfate, CuSO₄, indicated in the table is 1.380M.
That means that 1.380 moles of copper sulfate is the maximum amount that can be dissolved in one liter of solution.
Find the molar concentration for 4.6 moles of copper sulfate in 1,750 mL of water.
You need to assume that the volume of water (1750mL) is the volume of the solution. This is, that the 4.6 moles of copper sulfate have a negligible volume.
<u>1. Volume in liters:</u>
- V = 1,750 mL × 1 liter / 1,000 mL = 1.75 liter
<u />
<u>2. Molar concentration, molarity, M:</u>
- M = number of moles of solute / volume of solution in liters
- M = 4.6 moles / 1.75 liter = 2.6 M
Since the solution is saturated at 1.380M, you cannot reach the 2.6M concentration, meaning that you cannot dissolve 4.6 moles of copper sulfate, CuSO₄ in 1750mL of water.
The next test would be the lime water test.
Explanation:
If placing the gas in lime water will turn the solution milky, then the gas is most probably carbon dioxide, the lime water (Ca(OH)₂) turns milky due to the formation of solid CaCO₃ that is insoluble after reaction with carbon dioxide.
Carbon dioxide also puts out the flame in the splint test because it does not support combustion.
