Answer:

C11H25SO4

Explanation:

The total mass of the compound is 253.4 g, so, the mass of each element will be:

C: 52.14% of 253.4 = 0.5214x253.4 = 132.12 g

H: 9.946% of 253.4 = 0.09946x253.4 = 25.20 g

S: 12.66% of 253.4 = 0.1266x253.4 = 32.08 g

O: 25.26% of 253.4 = 0.2526x253.4 = 64.00 g

The molar mass are: C = 12 g/mol, H 1 g/mol, S = 32 g/mol, and O = 16 g/mol

So, to know how much moles will be, just divide the mass calculated above for the molar mass:

C: 132.12/12 = 11 moles

H: 25.20/ 1 = 25 moles

S: 32.08/32 = 1 mol

O: 64.00/16 = 4 moles

So the molecular formula is C11H25SO4

Determine the concentration of sulfuric acid that needed 47 mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution to neutralize a 25 mL sampl
77julia77 [94]

Answer:

<u></u>

  • <u>0.37M</u>

Explanation:

Since sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄, is a diprotic acid and potassum hydroxide, KOH, contains one OH⁻ in the formula, the number of moles of potassium hydroxide must be twice the number of moles of sulfuric acid.

<u>1. Determine the number of moles of KOH in 47mL of 0.39M potassium hydroxide solution</u>

  • number of moles = molarity × volume in liters
  • number of moles = 0.39M × 47mL × 1liter/1,000 mL = 0.1833mol

<u>2. Determine the number of moles of sulfuric acid needed</u>

  • number of moles of H₂SO₄ = number of moles of KOH/2 = 0.1833/2 = 0.009165mol

<u>3. Determine the concentration that contains 0.009165 mol in 25mL of the acid.</u>

  • Molarity = number of moles / volume in liters
  • M = 0.009165mol/(25mL) × (1,000mL/liter) = 0.3666M

Round to two significant figures: 0.37M
