Answer:
From 4.9 g of sulfuric acid 8.175 g of potassium sulfate is formed.
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of H₂SO₄ = 4.9 g
Mass of K₂SO₄ formed = ?
Solution:
Chemical reaction:
H₂SO₄ + 2KOH → K₂SO₄ + 2H₂O
Number of moles of H₂SO₄:
Number of moles = mass/ molar mass
Number of moles = 4.9 g/ 98.1 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.05 mol
Now we will compare the moles of H₂SO₄ with K₂SO₄ .
H₂SO₄ : K₂SO₄
1 : 1
0.05 : 0.05
Mass of K₂SO₄:
Mass = number of moles × molar mass
Mass = 0.05 mol × 174.3 g/mol
Mass = 8.715 g
Thus, from 4.9 g of sulfuric acid 8.175 g of potassium sulfate is formed.
