Answer:

M_{acid}=0.0827M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should consider the acid-base reaction between sulfurous acid and lithium hydroxide:

2LiOH+H_2SO_3\rightarrow Li_2SO3+2H_2O

Thus, we notice a 2:1 molar ratio between lithium hydroxide and sulfurous acid, for that reason, at the equivalence point we have:

2*n_{acid}=n_{base}

That in terms of concentrations and volumes is:

2*M_{acid}V_{base}=M_{base}V_{base}

Thus, we solve for the molarity of the acid which is sulfurous acid:

M_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{2*V_{base}} =\frac{0.210M*22.14mL}{2*28.10mL}\\\\M_{acid}=0.0827M

Best regards.

Answer:

0.0827M of H₂SO₃

Explanation:

LiOH reacts with H₂SO₃ to produce water and Li₂SO₃, thus:

2LiOH + H₂SO₃ → 2H₂O + Li₂SO₃

<em>Where 2 moles of lithium hydroxide react with 1 mole of sulfurous acid.</em>

As the chemist requires 22.14mL = 0.02214L of a 0.210M solution to neutralize the acid, moles of LiOH are:

0.02214L × (0.210mol / L) =<em>0.004649 moles of LiOH</em>.

As 2 moles of LiOH react with 1 mole of H₂SO₃, moles of H₂SO₃ are:

0.004649 moles of LiOH ₓ (1 mole H₂SO₃ / 2 mol LiOH) =

<em>0.002325 moles of H₂SO₃</em>

These moles are present in 28.10mL = 0.02810L. Thus, molar concentration of the acid is:

0.002325 moles H₂SO₃ / 0.02810L = <em>0.0827M of H₂SO₃</em>

An iron nail rusts when exposed to oxygen. According to the following reaction, how many grams of iron(III) oxide will be formed
-Dominant- [34]

Answer:

53.2

Explanation:

The balanced reaction is:

2Fe(s) + 3O₂(g) → Fe₂O₃

It means that 3 moles of oxygen form 1 mol of iron(III) oxide. The molar masses are: Fe = 55.8 g/mol and O = 16 g/mol. So

O₂ = 2x 16 = 32 g/mol

Fe₂O₃ = 2x55.8 + 3x16 = 159.6 g/mol

So, 32 g of O₂ corresponds to 1 mol of O₂. The stoichiometry calculus must be (always in moles):

3 mol of O₂ ------------------------ 1 mol of Fe₂O₃

1 mol of O₂  ------------------------ x

By a direct simple three rule:

3x = 1

x = 1/3 mol of Fe₂O₃

The mass is the molar mass multiplied by the number of moles, so:

m = 159.6x (1/3)

m = 53.2 g iron (III) oxide.

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction
lana66690 [7]

Answer:

Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy

Explanation:

The question is not complete, the complete question is given as:

        ^{235}_{72}U +^{1}_{0}n                       ⇒        ^{140}_{56}Ba+^{93}_{36}Kr+3^{1}_{0}n+energy

total mass equals 236.053 u              total mass equals 235.868 u

Which statement explains the energy term in this reaction? (1) Mass is gained due to the conversion of mass to energy. (2) Mass is gained due to the conversion of energy to mass. (3) Mass is lost due to the conversion of mass to energy. (4) Mass is lost due to the conversion of energy to mass.

Answer: From Einstein’s equation  E = mc², when a radioisotope element undergoes fission or fusion in a nuclear reaction, it loses a tiny amount of mass.This mass lost is converted to energy.

The law of conservation of energy  holds for this type of reaction (i.e  the sum of mass and energy is remains the same in a nuclear reaction). Mass changes to energy, but the total amount of mass and energy combined remains the same before and after a nuclear reaction.

From the reaction above, the total decrease in mass = 236.053 - 235.868 = 0.185 u

Calculate the concentration 3.8g of copper sulfate, CuSO4 dissolved in 250cm4 of water
11Alexandr11 [23.1K]

Answer:

Molarity = 0.08 M

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of copper sulfate = 3.8 g

Volume of water = 250 cm³  (250/1000 = 0.25 L)

Concentration of solution = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of copper sulfate:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 3.8 g/ 159.6 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.02 mol

Concentration:

Molarity = Number of moles / volume in L

By putting values,

Molarity = 0.02 mol / 0.25 L

Molarity = 0.08 mol/L

Molarity = 0.08 M
