Answer:

HF is the acid

Explanation:

The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines the acids and bases in chemistry as follows:

An acid is the species that can donate a proton

A base can accept protons.

In the reaction:

HF(aq) + NH₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)

As you can see, HF can donate its proton to produce F⁻: HF is the acid

In the same way, NH₃ is accepting a proton, NH₃ is the base.

An evacuated 276 mL glass bulb weighs 129.6375 g. Filled with an unknown gas, the bulb weighs 130.0318 g. Calculate the gas dens

baherus [9]

Answer:

density=1.43 g/L

Explanation:

Since the density formula is density = mass / volume, we need to find out the mass of the gas and the volume is that of the container.

The mass of the gas is 130.0318 g-129.6375 g=0.3943 g

The gas volume is 276mL*(1L/1000mL) 0.276 L

density = mass / volume=0.3943g/0.276L

density =1.43g/L

(a) Write the balanced neutralization reaction that occurs between H2SO4 and KOH in aqueous solution. Phases are optional. (b) S

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

These are two questions and two answers

Answer:

Question 1:

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l)

Question 2:

0.201 M

Explanation:

Question 1:

The neutralization reaction that occurs between H₂SO₄ and KOH is an acid-base reaction.

The products of an acid-base reaction are salt and water.

This is the sketch of such neutralization reaction:

1) Word equation:

sulfuric acid + potassium hydroxide → potassium sulfate + water

↑ ↑ ↑ ↑

acid base salt water

2) Skeleton equation (unbalanced)

H₂SO₄ + KOH → K₂SO₄ + H₂O

#) Balanced chemical equation (including phases)

H₂SO₄ (aq) + 2KOH (aq) → K₂SO₄ (aq) + 2H₂O (l) ← answer

Question 2:

1) Mol ratio:

Using the stoichiometric coefficients of the balanced chemical equation you get the mol ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ (aq) : 2 mol KOH (aq) : 1 mol K₂SO₄ (aq) : mol 2H₂O (l)

2) Moles of H₂SO₄:

V = 0.750 liter
M = 0.480 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M×V = 0.480 mol/liter × 0.750 liter = 0.360 mol

3) Moles of KOH:

V = 0.700 liter
M = 0.290 mol/liter
M = n/V ⇒ n = M × V = 0.290 mol/liter × 0.700 liter = 0.203 mol

4) Determine the limiting reagent:

a) Stoichiometric ratio:

1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol NaOH = 0.500 mol H₂SO4 / mol NaOH

b) Actual ratio:

0.360 mol H₂SO4 / 0.203 mol NaOH = 1.77 mol H₂SO₄ / mol NaOH

Since hte actual ratio of H₂SO₄ is greater than the stoichiometric ratio, you conclude that H₂SO₄ is in excess.

5) Amount of H₂SO₄ that reacts:

Since, KOH is the limiting reactant, using 0.203 mol KOH and the stoichiometryc ratio 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH, you get:

x / 0.203 mol KOH = 1 mol H₂SO₄ / 2 mol KOH ⇒

x = 0.203 / 2 = 0.0677 mol of H₂SO₄

6) Concentration of H₂SO₄ remaining:

Initial amount - amount that reacted = 0.360 mol - 0.0677 mol = 0.292 mol

Total volume = 0.700 liter + 0.750 liter = 1.450 liter

Concetration = M

M = n / V = 0.292 mol / 1.450 liter = 0.201 M ← answer
