When the reaction equation is:

CaSO3(s) → CaO(s) + SO2(g)

we can see that the molar ratio between CaSO3 & SO2 is 1:1 so, we need to find first the moles SO2.

to get the moles of SO2 we are going to use the ideal gas equation:

PV = nRT

when P is the pressure =  1.1 atm

and V is the volume = 14.5 L 

n is the moles' number (which we need to calculate)

R ideal gas constant = 0.0821

and T is the temperature in Kelvin = 12.5 + 273 = 285.5 K

so, by substitution:

1.1 * 14.5 L = n * 0.0821 * 285.5

∴ n = 1.1 * 14.5 / (0.0821*285.5)

       = 0.68 moles SO2

∴ moles CaSO3 = 0.68 moles

so we can easily get the mass of CaSO3:

when mass = moles * molar mass

and we know that the molar mass of CaSO3= 40 + 32 + 16 * 3 = 120 g/mol


∴ mass = 0.68 moles* 120 g/mol = 81.6 g

Given the following reaction and data, A + B → Products
natima [27]

Answer:

a. Rate = k×[A]

b. k = 0.213s⁻¹

Explanation:

a. When you are studying the kinetics of a reaction such as:

A + B → Products.

General rate law must be like:

Rate = k×[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ

You must make experiments change initial concentrations of A and B trying to find k, a and b parameters.

If you see experiments 1 and 3, concentration of A is doubled and the Rate of the reaction is doubled to. That means a = 1

Rate = k×[A]¹[B]ᵇ

In experiment 1 and to the concentration of B change from 1.50M to 2.50M but rate maintains the same. That is only possible if b = 0. (The kinetics of the reaction is indepent to [B]

Rate = k×[A][B]⁰

<h3>Rate = k×[A]</h3>

b. Replacing with values of experiment 1 (You can do the same with experiment 3 obtaining the same) k is:

Rate = k×[A]

0.320M/s = k×[1.50M]

<h3>k = 0.213s⁻¹</h3>

Magnesium sulfate heptahydrate is heated until all the water is driven off. The sample loses 11.80 grams upon heating. What was
iren [92.7K]
Hello!

The initial mass of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is 23,08 g

The chemical reaction for the dehydrating of Magnesium Sulfate Heptahydrate (MgSO₄·7H₂O) is the following:

MgSO₄·7H₂O(s) + Δ → MgSO₄(s) + 7H₂O(g)

We know that the sample loses 11,80 g upon heating. That mass is the mass of Water that is released as vapor. Knowing that piece of information, we can apply the following conversion factor to go from the mass of water to the moles of water and back to the mass of the original compound (mi).

mi=11,80gH_2O* \frac{1 mol H_2O}{18gH_2O}* \frac{1molMgSO_4.7H_2O}{7molH_2O}* \frac{246,47 g MgSO_4.7H_2O}{1 mol MgSO_4.7H_2O}  \\  \\ mi=23,08gMgSO_4.7H_2O

Have a nice day!
