Determine how much hydrogen sulfide is released during the interaction of 300 g of sodium
Determine how much hydrogen sulfide is released during the interaction of 300 g of sodium chloride containing 22% impurities with concentrated sulfuric acid
Let us find the mass of NaCl without impurities.
100% – 22% = 78%.
300 g – 100%,
x g – 78%,
x = (300 g × 78%): 100% = 234 g.
Let’s find the amount of NaCl substance by the formula:
n = m: M.
M (NaCl) = 58.5 g / mol.
n = 234 g: 58.5 g / mol = 4 mol.
Let’s compose the reaction equation, find the quantitative ratios of substances.
2 NaCl + H2SO4 = Na2SO4 + 2 HCl ↑.
According to the reaction equation, 2 mol of NaCl accounts for 2 mol of HCl. Substances are in quantitative ratios 1: 1.
n (HCl) = n (NaCl) = 4 mol.
Find the volume of HCl.
V = n Vn, where Vn is the molar volume of gas equal to 22.4 l / mol.
V = 4 mol × 22.4 L / mol = 89.6 L.
Answer: 89.6 l.
