A chemist determines by measurements that 0.0200 moles of chlorine gas participate in a chemical reaction. Calculate the mass of
1 answer:
Answer:
1.4200 g
Explanation:
The chlorine gas has a molecular formula Cl2. In table periodic, the molar mass of one atom of chlorine is 35.5 g/mol, so the molar mass of Cl2 is 71 g/mol.
Molar mass, mass and number of moles are related by the equation below:
Where n is the number of moles, m is the mass, and MM is the molar mass of the compound.
So, for 0.0200 moles of Cl2 produced:
m = 71x0.0200
m = 1.4200

The concentration of solution in M or mol/L can be calculated using the following formula:
.... (1)
Here, n is number of moles and V is volume of solution in L.
The molecular formula of potassium sulfate is thus, there are 2 moles of potassium in 1 mol of potassium sulfate.
1 mol of potassium will be there in 0.5 mol of potassium sulfate.
Mass of potassium is 4.15 g, molar mass is 39.1 g/mol.
Number of moles can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass
Putting the values,
Thus, number of moles of will be
.
The volume of solution is 225 mL, converting this into L,
Thus,
Putting the values in equation (1),
Therefore, concentration of potassium sulfate solution is 0.236 M.
