Molar mass K₂SO₄ = 174.259 g/mol

n =  \frac{m}{M}

n =  \frac{15.0 g}{174.259g/mol}

n = 0.0860 moles

hope this helps!

\boxed{{\text{0}}{\text{.0860 mol}}} of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is present in 15 g of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} .

Further explanation:

Amount of substance is measured in terms of mole. The mass of substance with same number of fundamental units as atoms in 12 g of carbon 12 is 1 mole.

In step 1, we have to calculate the molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} . The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} can be calculated by using equation (1).

Step 1: The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}  is calculated as follows:

{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}} = \left[ \begin{gathered}{\text{2}}\left( {{\text{Atomic mass of K}}} \right)+\hfill\\{\text{1}}\left({{\text{Atomic mass of S}}} \right)+\hfill\\{\text{4}}\left({{\text{Atomic mass of O}}}\right)\hfill\\\end{gathered}\right]

…… (1)

The atomic mass of K is 39.09 g.

The atomic mass of S is 32.06 g.

The atomic mass of O is 16 g.

Substitute these values in equation (1).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{4}}}&=\left[{{\text{2}}\left({{\text{39}}{\text{.09 g}}}\right)+{\text{1}}\left({{\text{32}}{\text{.06 g}}}\right)+{\text{4}}\left({{\text{16 g}}}\right)}\right]\\&=\left[{{\text{78}}{\text{.18 g}}+{\text{32}}{\text{.06 g}}+{\text{64 g}}}\right]\\&=174.24\;{\text{g/mol}}\\\end{gathered}

In step 2, the molar mass calculated in step 1 is used to calculate the number of moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} . The number of moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is calculated by using equation (2).

Step 2: The formula to calculate the moles of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is as follows:

{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}{\mathbf{=}}\frac{{{\text{Given mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of}}{\mathbf{ }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}}}

…… (2)

The given mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is 15 g.

The molar mass of {{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} is 174.24 g/mol.

Substitute these values in equation (2).

\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{K}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4}&=\left( {15\;{\text{g}}}\right)\left({\frac{{1\;{\text{mol}}}}{{174.24\;{\text{g}}}}}\right)\\&={\text{0}}{\text{.086088}}\\&\approx{\mathbf{0}}{\mathbf{.0860}}\;{\mathbf{mol}}\\\end{aligned}

oksian1 [2.3K]

Answer:

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Explanation:

<u>Step 1:</u> Data given

Cu is cathode because of higher EP

Al3++3e−→Al       E∘=−1.66 V     anode

Cu2++2e−→Cu    E∘=0.340 V    cathode

<u>Step 2:</u> Balance both equations

2*(Al → Al3+-3e−)       E∘=1.66 V    

3*(Cu2++2e−→Cu)    E∘=0.340 V

<u>Step 3:</u> The netto equation

2 Al + 3Cu2+ +6e- → 2Al3+ + 3Cu -6e-

2 Al + 3Cu2+  → 2Al3+ + 3Cu

<u>Step 4:</u> Calculate the standard cell potential

E∘cell = E∘cathode - E∘anode

E∘cell = E∘ Cu2+/Cu - E∘ Al3+/Al

E∘cell =0.340 V - (-1.66) = 2.00 V

The standard cell potential is 2.00 V

Part A:
uranmaximum [27]

Answer:

Part A = The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B = The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

Explanation:

Part A

Step 1: Data given

A mixture of carbon and sulfur has a mass of 9.0 g

Mass of the product = 27.1 grams

X = mass carbon

Y = mass sulfur

x + y = 9.0  grams

x = 9.0 - y

x(molar mass CO2/atomic mass C) + y(molar mass SO2/atomic mass S) = 22.6

(9 - y)*(44.01/12.01) + y(64.07/32.07)

(9-y)(3.664) + y(1.998)

32.976 - 3.664y + 1.998y = 22.6

-1.666y = -10.376

y = 6.228 = mass sulfur

x = 9.0 - 6.228 = 2.772 grams = mass C

The mass of sulfur is 6.228 grams

Part B

Calculate the mass, in grams, of a single silver atom (mAg = 107.87 amu ).

Calculate moles of 1 silver atom

Moles = 1/ 6.022*10^23

Moles = 1.66*10^-24 moles

Mass = moles * molar mass

Mass = 1.66*10 ^-24 moles *107.87

Mass = 1.79 * 10^-22 grams

The mass of 1 silver atom is 1.79 * 10^-22 grams
