Answer:

K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is supposed to represent sulfate or not

Explanation:

Find the molar mass of K2SO4 first:

2K + S + 4O ≈ 174 g/mol

Divide the goal molar mass of 696 by the molar mass of the empirical formula:

696 / 174 = 4

This means you need to multiply everything in the empirical formula by 4:

K2SO4 --> K8S4O16 or K8(SO4)4 depending on if the SO4 is for sulfate or not

Write the balanced electrochemical reaction for when zinc reacts with a copper solution. Label what is being oxidized and what i

Fed [463]

The balanced equation would be $Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$

<h3>Electrochemical equations</h3>

Zn reacts with Cu solution according to the following equation:

$Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$

In the reaction, $Cu^{2+}$ is reduced according to the following: $Cu^{2+} + 2 e^- -- > Cu$

While Zn is oxidized according to the following: $Zn - 2e^- --- > Zn^{2+}$

Thus, giving the overall equation of; $Zn + Cu^{2+} ---- > Cu + Zn^{2+}$

What is the total number of moles of H2SO4 needed to prepare 5.0 liters of a 2.0 M solution of H2SO4

forsale [732]

The molarity of H2SO4 is the number of moles in 1 L of solution.
The molarity is 2.0 mol/L
This means that there should be 2 moles in a 1 L solution to make up this molarity.
In this case we need to make up a 5 L solutions with that molarity. Then the amount of moles required are - 2 mol/L x 5 L = 10 mol
