This is how you would do it. set up the rxn. balance, in this case you didn't need to. make a grid and cancel out units.

For the reaction

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

0.558mole of SO₃

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molar mass of SO₃ = 80.0632g/mol

Mass of S = 17.9g

Molar mass of S = 32.065g/mol

Number of moles of O₂ = 0.157mole

Molar mass of O₂ = 31.9988g/mol

Unknown:

Maximum amount of SO₃

Solution

We need to write the proper reaction equation.

2S + 3O₂ → 2SO₃

We should bear in mind that the extent of this reaction relies on the reactant that is in short supply i.e limiting reagent. Here the limiting reagent is the Sulfur, S. The oxygen gas would be in excess since it is readily availbale.

So we simply compare the molar relationship between sulfur and product formed to solve the problem:

First, find the number of moles of Sulfur, S:

Number of moles of S = $\frac{mass }{molar mass}$

Number of moles of S = $\frac{17.9 }{32.065}$ = 0.558mole

Now to find the maximum amount of SO₃ formed, compare the moles of reactant to the product:

2 mole of Sulfur produced 2 mole of SO₃

Therefore; 0.558mole of sulfur will produce 0.558mole of SO₃

If the a of a monoprotic weak acid is 2. 6×10−6, what is the ph of a 0. 33 m solution of this acid?

yawa3891 [41]

The pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79.

<h3>What are weak acids?</h3>

The weak acids are the acids that do not fully dissociate into ions in the solution. Strong acids fully dissociate into ions.

The chemical reaction is HA(aq) ⇄ A⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

c (monoprotic acid) = 0.33 M.

Ka = 1.2·10⁻⁶

[A⁻] = [H⁺] = x

[HA] = 0.33 M - x

Ka = [A⁻]·[H⁺] / [HA]

2. 6 × 10⁻⁶ = x² / (0.33 M - x)

Solve quadratic equation: [H⁺] = 0.000524 M.

pH = -log[H⁺]

pH = -log(0.000524 M)

pH = 2.79

Thus, the pH of the monoprotic weak acid is 2.79

The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is r

Dima020 [189]

Answer:

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol

Explanation:

The complete question is: An unknown compound contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Combustion analysis of the compound gives mass percents of 31.57% C and 5.30% H. The molar mass is determined by measuring the freezing-point depression of an aqueous solution. A freezing point of -5.20°C is recorded for a solution made by dissolving 10.56 g of the compound in 25.0 g water. Determine the empirical formula, molar mass, and molecular formula of the compound. Assume that the compound is a nonelectrolyte.

Step 1: Data given

Mass % of Carbon = 31.57 %

Mass % of H = 5.30 %

Freezing point = -5.20 °C

10.56 grams of the compound dissolved in 25.0 grams of water

Kf water = 1.86 °C kg/mol

Step 2: Calculate moles of Carbon

Suppose 31.57% = 31.57 grams

moles C = mass C / Molar mass C

moles C = 31.57 grams / 12.0 g/mol = 2.63 moles

Step 3: Calculate moles of Hydrogen:

Moles H = 5.30 grams / 1.01 g/mol

moles H = 5.25 moles

Step 4: Calculate moles of Oxygen

Moles O = ( 100 - 31.57 - 5.30) / 16 g/mol

Moles O = 3.95 moles

Step 5: We divide by the smallest number of moles

C: 2.63 / 2.63 = 1 → 2

H: 5.25/2.63 = 2 → 4

O: 3.95/ 2.63 = 1.5 → 3

The empirical formula is C2H4O3

The molar mass of the empirical formula = 76 g/mol

Step 6: Calculate moles solute

Freezing point depression = 5.20 °C = m * 1.86

m = 5.20 / 1.86

m = 2.80 molal = 2.80 moles / kg

2.80 molal * 0.025 kg = 0.07 moles

Step 7: Calculate molar mass

Molar mass = mass / moles

Molar mass = 10.56 grams / 0.07 moles

Molar mass = 151 g/mol

Step 8: Calculate molecular formula

151 / 76 ≈ 2

We have to multiply the empirical formula by 2

2*(C2H4O3) = C4H8O6

The molecular formula is C4H8O6

The molar mass is 152 g/mol
