Balanced equation: 2Na(s) + Cl₂(g) ---> 2NaCl(s)
when we have STP conditions, we can use this conversion: 1 mol = 22.4 L
first, we have to convert grams to molecules using the molar mass, and then use mole to mole ratio from the balanced equation.
molar mass of Na= 23.0 g/mol
ratio: 2 mol Na= 1 mol Cl₂ (based on coefficients of balanced equation)
calculations:
<span>0.925 grams if using hydrochloric acid in the reaction.
0.462 grams if using sulfuric acid in the reaction.
0.000 grams if using nitric acid in the reaction.
Assuming you're using HCl or a similar acid for this reaction, the equation for the reaction is:
Zn + 2 HCl ==> ZnCl2 + H2
So each mole of zinc used, produces 1 mole of hydrogen gas, or 2 moles of hydrogen atoms. So we need to look up the atomic weights of both zinc and hydrogen.
Atomic weight zinc = 65.38
Atomic weight hydrogen = 1.00794
Moles zinc = 30.0 g / 65.38 g/mol = 0.458855919 mol
Since we produce 2 moles of hydrogen atoms per mole of zinc, multiply by 2 and the atomic weight of hydrogen to get the mass of hydrogen produced. So
0.458855919 * 2 * 1.00794 = 0.92499847 grams.
Rounding to 3 significant figures gives 0.925 grams.
To show the assumption of the acid used, the balanced equation for sulfuric acid would be
Zn2 + H2SO4 ==> Zn(SO4)2 + H2
Which means that for every mole of zinc used, 1 mole of hydrogen gas is generated (half that produced via hydrochloric acid).
If nitric acid were used, the reaction is
4Zn + 10HNO3 ==> 4Zn(NO3)2 + N2O + 5H2O
Which means that NO hydrogen gas is generated.
The only justification for assuming hydrochloric acid is used is that it's a fairly common acid that's easy to obtain. But as shown above with 2 alternative acids, the amount of hydrogen gas generated is very dependent upon the exact chemical reaction occurring and asking "How many grams of hydrogen are produced if 30.0 g of zinc reacts?" is a rather silly question unless you specify EXACTLY what the reaction is.</span>
Answer:
the simplest answer is it loses the water (decahydrate) because it evaporates
Answer:
1.02mole
Explanation:
The reaction equation is given as:
2NaOH + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
Given:
Mass of H₂SO₄ = 50g
Unknown:
Number of moles of NaOH = ?
Solution:
To solve this problem, we first find the number of moles of the acid given;
Number of moles = 
Molar mass of H₂SO₄ = 2(1) + 32 + 4(16) = 98g/mol
Now;
Number of moles = 
= 0.51mole
From the balanced reaction equation:
1 mole of H₂SO₄ will be neutralized by 2 mole of NaOH
0.51 mole of H₂SO₄ will be neutralized by 2 x 0.51 = 1.02mole of NaOH
The Answer Is B Because You Have To Divide The 9
