Full Question:
A flask containing 420 Ml of 0.450 M HBr was accidentally knocked to the floor.?
How many grams of K2CO3 would you need to put on the spill to neutralize the acid according to the following equation?
2HBr(aq)+K2CO3(aq) ---> 2KBr(aq) + CO1(g) + H2O(l)
Answer:
13.1 g K2CO3 required to neutralize spill
Explanation:
2HBr(aq) + K2CO3(aq) → 2KBr(aq) + CO2(g) + H2O(l)
Number of moles = Volume * Molar Concentration
moles HBr= 0.42L x .45 M= 0.189 moles HBr
From the stoichiometry of the reaction;
1 mole of K2CO3 reacts with 2 moles of HBr
1 mole = 2 mole
x mole = 0.189
x = 0.189 / 2 = 0.0945 moles
Mass = Number of moles * Molar mass
Mass = 0.0945 * 138.21 = 13.1 g
At STP (standard temperature and pressure conditions), 1 mol of any gas occupies 22.4 L
This rule is applied to O₂
22.4 L volume occupied by 1 mol
Therefore 83.4 L occupied by - 1/ 22.4 x 83.4 = 3.72 mol
stoichiometry of O₂ to H₂O is 1:2
then the number of moles of water produced - 3.72 mol x 2= 7.44 mol
mass of water produced - 7.44 mol x 18.01 g/mol = 134.1 g
correct answer is D
All of the energy from the Sun that reaches the Earth arrives as solar radiation, part of a large collection of energy called the electromagnetic radiation spectrum. Solar radiation includes visible light, ultraviolet light, infrared, radio waves, X-rays, and gamma rays. Radiation is one way to transfer heat.
