Convert 380 mmHg to atm.

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

LiOH, Li₂SO₄.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

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.

$\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula for calcium sulfate $\text{CaSO}_4$ in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ is -2. Unlike $\text{Li}^{+}$ ions, it takes only one $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to balance the charge on each ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ion. As a result, $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

$2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

$\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}$ .

The ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:

$2\;\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}+ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to (\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4})_2\text{SO}_4+2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

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.

Determine the specific heat of copper from the fact that 38 g of 80°C copper are needed to raise the temperature of 15 g of wate

mars1129 [50]

From the equation q=mCΔT, set the q of copper = to q of water,

So --- mCΔT(copper)=mCΔT(water).

mass (Cu - copper) = 38g
mass (H2O - water) = 15g
C (H2O) = 4.184 J/g*C
ΔΤ (H2O) = 33-22 = 11*C
ΔΤ (Cu) = 33-80 = -47*C (the final temp is the same for both materials - thermal equilibrium)
C (Cu) = ?

So --- 38(-47)C[Cu]=15(4.184)(11)
--- C[Cu]=690.36/(-1786) = 0.3865 J/g*C, or 0.39 in 2 sig figs. (The negative goes away, because specific heats are usually positive)

If 31.6 g of KMnO4 is dissolved in enough water to give 160 mL of solution, what is the molarity?

Zina [86]

Answer:

A. 1.25M

B. 19.98g

Explanation:

A. Data obtained from the question include the following:

Mass of KMnO4 = 31.6 g

Volume = 160 mL

Molarity =..?

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole KMnO4 in the solution. This is can be obtained as follow:

Mass of KMnO4 = 31.6 g

Molar mass of KMnO4 = 39 + 55 + (16x4) = 158g/mol

Number of mole of KMnO4 =..?

Mole = mass /Molar mass

Number of mole of KMnO4 = 31.6/158 = 0.2 mole

Now, we can obtain the molarity of the solution as follow:

Volume = 160 mL = 160/1000 = 0.16L

Mole of KMnO4 = 0.2 mole

Molarity = mole /Volume

Molarity = 0.2/0.16 = 1.25M

B. Data obtained from the question include the following:

Volume = 300mL

Molarity = 0.74 M

Mass of H2C2O4 =..?

First, we shall determine the number of mole H2C2O4. This is illustrated below:

Volume = 300mL = 300/1000 = 0.3L

Molarity = 0.74 M

Mole of H2C2O4 =?

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of H2C2O4 = 0.74 x 0.3

Mole of H2C2O4 = 0.222 mole

Now, we can easily find the mass of H2C2O4 by converting 0.222 mole to grams as shown below:

Number of mole of H2C2O4 = 0.222 mole

Molar mass of H2C2O4 = (2x1) + (12x2) + (16x4) = 2 + 24 + 64 = 90g/mol

Mass of H2C2O4 =..?

Mass = mole x molar mass

Mass of H2C2O4 = 0.222 x 90

Mass of H2C2O4 = 19.98g
