A 0.500-g sample containing Na2CO3 plus inert matter is analyzed by adding 50.0 mL of 0.100 M HCl, a slight excess, boiling to r

emove CO2, and then back-titrating the excess acid with 0.100 M NaOH. If 5.6 mL NaOH is required for the back-titration, what is the percent Na2CO3 in the sample?

The percentage by mass of Na2CO3 in the sample is 48%.

The equation of the reaction of Na2CO3 with HCl;

Na2CO3(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ------> 2NaCl(aq) + H2O(l) + CO2(g)

Since the HCl is in excess, the excess is back titrated with NaOH as follows;

NaOH (aq) + HCl(aq) ---->NaCl(aq) + H2O(l)

Number of moles of HCl added =  0.100 M × 50/1000 L = 0.005 moles

Number of moles of NaOH added = 5.6/1000 ×  0.100 M = 0.00056 moles

Since the reaction of NaOH and NaOH is 1:1, 0.00056 moles of HCl reacted with excess HCl.

Amount of HCl that reacted with Na2CO3 =  0.005 moles -  0.00056 moles = 0.0044 moles

Now;

1 mole of Na2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HCl

x moles of Na2CO3 reacts with 0.0044 moles of HCl

x = 1 mole × 0.0044 moles / 2 moles

x = 0.0022 moles

Mass of Na2CO3 reacted = 0.0022 moles × 106 g/mol = 0.24 g

Percentage of Na2CO3  in the sample = 0.24 g/ 0.500-g × 100/1 = 48%

A chemical equation that does not indicate relative amounts of reactants and products is called
Zielflug [23.3K]

Answer:

The correct answer is skeleton equation.

Explanation:

In chemistry, the skeletal formula of a compound is an abbreviated representation of its molecular structure. Skeleton formulas are used because they clearly show complicated structures, they are fast and simple to draw.

All atoms that are not carbon or hydrogen are represented by their chemical symbol. The relative amounts of reagents and products are not indicated.

Have a nice day!

Which sample of water contains particles having the highest average kinetic energy?
Makovka662 [10]
(1) 25 ml of water at 95 degrees Celsius is your answer. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the substance that it measures, therefore the highest temperature choice, aka #1, is your answer.

Why does water have a lopsided shape and act like a chemical magnet?
leva [86]

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

(a) Shape

The formula for water is H-O-H.

The central O atom has four electron pairs around it. They try to get as far from each other as possible, so they point toward the corners of a tetrahedron.

Only two of the pairs have a hydrogen atom attached, so water has a bent shape. The H-O-H bond angle is about 104°.

(b) Chemical magnet

The O atom has a greater attraction than H for the shared electrons in the O-H bonds, so the electrons spend more time near the O.

This gives the O atom a partial negative charge (pink in the diagram) and the H atoms a partial positive charge (blue).

The water molecule acts like a chemical magnet because its negative end attracts the positive ends of other molecules, while its positive ends attract the negative ends of other molecules.

in a simulation mercury removal from industrial wastewater, 0.020 L of 0.10 M sodium sulfide reacts with 0.050 L of 0.010 M merc
Margarita [4]

Answer:  0.1161 grams of mercury(II) sulfide) form.

Explanation:

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}     .....(1)

a) Molarity of Na_2S solution = 0.10 M

Volume of solution = 0.020 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.10M=\frac{\text{Moles of }Na_2S}{0.020L}\\\\\text{Moles of Na_2S}={0.10mol/L\times 0.020}=0.002mol

\text {Moles of}Na_2S=0.10M\times 0.020L=0.002mol

b) Molarity of Hg(NO_3)_2 solution = 0.010 M

Volume of solution = 0.050 L

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

0.010M=\frac{\text{Moles of }Hg(NO_3)_2}{0.050L}\\\\\text{Moles of }Hg(NO_3)_2={0.010mol/L\times 0.050}=0.0005mol

Na_2S+Hg(NO_3)_2\rightarrow HgS+2NaNO_3

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Hg(NO_3)_2 reacts with 1 mole of Na_2S

Thus 0.0005 moles of HgNO_3 reacts with=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0005=0.0005 moles of Hg(NO_3)_2

Thus Hg(NO_3)_2 is the limiting reagent and Na_2S is the excess reagent.

According to stoichiometry :

1 mole of Hg(NO_3)_2 forms=  1 mole of Hg_2S

Thus 0.0005 moles of Hg(NO_3)_2 forms=\frac{1}{1}\times 0.0005=0.0005 moles of Hg_2S

mass of H_2S=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.0005mol\times 232.2g/mol=0.1161g

Thus 0.1161 grams of mercury(II) sulfide) form.
