Question

AnnyKZ [126]

Blank #1: Polyatomic

Blank #2: 2 (see explanation)

Blank #3: 1 (see explanation)

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Both the ammonium ion $\text{NH}_4^{+}$ and the sulfate ion $\text{SO}_4^{2-}$ contain more than one atom in each ion. The two species are thus <em>polyatomic</em>. The chloride ion $\text{Cl}^{-}$ , for example, is <em>monoatomic</em>.

Superscripts above formulae of the ions indicate their charge. Each ammonium ion carries a positive one (+1) charge. Each sulfate ion carries a charge of negative two (-2).

Ammonium sulfate is an ionic compound. A sample of this compound contain myriads of ammonium ions and sulfate ions. The ions are packed in three-dimensional lattices. Thus unlike water, ammonium sulfate does not exist as molecules in nature.

Assuming that the second and third blanks refers to a formula unit, rather than a molecule, of ammonium sulfate. The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate gives the minimum whole-number ratio between the two ions in a sample.

Charges shall balance between the two ions. Ammonium ions are of charge +1. Sulfate ions are of charge -2. The sample shall thus contain two ammonium ions for every one sulfate ion.

The empirical formula of ammonium sulfate is therefore $(\text{NH}_4)_2\text{SO}_4$ .

There are thus two ammonium ions $\text{NH}_4^{+}$ and one sulfate ion $\text{SO}_4^{2-}$ in each formula unit of ammonium sulfate.

If 1.50 L of 0.780 mol/L sodium sulfide is mixed with 1.00 L of a 3.31 mol/L lead(II) nitrate solution, what mass of precipitate

NARA [144]

Answer:

336.1 g of PbS precipitate

Explanation:

The equation of the reaction is given as;

Na2S(aq) + Pb(NO3)2(aq) ----> 2NaNO3(aq) + PbS(s)

Ionically;

Pb^2+(aq) + S^2-(aq) -----> PbS(s)

Number of moles of sodium sulphide= concentration of sodium sulphide × volume of sodium sulphide

Number of moles of sodium sulphide= 0.780 × 1.5 = 1.17 moles

Number of moles of lead II nitrate= concentration of lead II nitrate × volume of lead II nitrate

Number of moles of lead II nitrate= 3.31× 1.00= 3.31 moles

Then we determine the limiting reactant. The limiting reactant yields the least amount of product.

Since 1 moles of sodium sulphide yields 1 mole of lead II sulphide

1.17 moles of sodium sulphide also yields 1.17 moles of lead II sulphide

Hence sodium sulphide is the limiting reactant.

Thus mass of precipitate formed= amount of lead II sulphide × molar mass of sodium sulphide

Molar mass of lead II sulphide= 287.26 g/mol

Mass of lead II sulphide = 1.17 moles × 287.26 g/mol

Mass of lead II sulphide= 336.1 g of PbS precipitate
