Answer:
<u>5 moles S x (36.02 g S/mole S) = 180.1 grams of S</u>
Explanation:
The periodic table has mass units for every element that can be correlated with the number of atoms of that element. The relationship is known as Avogadro's Number. This number, 6.02x , is nicknamed the mole, which scientists found to be a lot more catchy, and easier to write than 6.02x
. <u>The mole is correlated to the atomic mass of that element.</u> The atomic mass of sulfur, S, is 36.02 AMU, atomic mass units. <u>But it can also be read as 36.02 grams/mole.</u>
<u></u>
<u>This means that 36.02 grams of S contains 1 mole (6.02x</u><u>) of S atoms</u>.
<u></u>
This relationship holds for all the elements. Zinc, Zn, has an atomic mass of 65.38 AMU, so it has a "molar mass" of 65.38 grams/mole. ^5.38 grams of Zn contains 1 mole of Zn atoms.
And so on.
5.0 moles of Sulfur would therefore contain:
(5.0 moles S)*(36.02 grams/mole S) = <u>180.1 grams of S</u>
Note how the units cancel to leaves just grams. The units are extremely helpful in mole calculations to insure the correct mathematical operation is done. To find the number of moles in 70 g of S, for example, we would write:
(70g S)/(36.02 grams S/mole S) = 1.94 moles of S. [<u>Note how the units cancel to leave just moles</u>]
The second option only.
- LiOH, Li₂SO₄.
A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.
Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:
Metal hydroxides
- Ca(OH)₂ and
- LiOH.
Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.
.
The formula for calcium sulfate in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium
is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion
is -2. Unlike
ions, it takes only one
ion to balance the charge on each
ion. As a result,
and
ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.
.
Ammonia, NH₃
Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:
.
The ion acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:
.
The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.
As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.
