Determine the mass of the salt obtained by the interaction of 10 grams of silicon with 24%
Determine the mass of the salt obtained by the interaction of 10 grams of silicon with 24% impurities with an excess of sodium hydroxide. What is the volume of gas produced?
Let us find the mass of Si without impurities.
100% -24% = 76%.
10 g – 100%,
x – 76%,
x = (10 g × 76%): 100% = 7.6 g.
Let’s find the amount of substance Si:
M (Si) = 28 g / mol.
n = 7.6 g: 28 g / mol = 0.27 mol.
2.Let’s find the quantitative ratios of substances.
2NaOH + Si + H2O = Na2SiO3 + H2 ↑.
For 1 mole of Si, there is 1 mole of Na2SiO3.
Substances are in quantitative ratios 1: 1.
The amount of substance will be equal.
n (Si) = n (Na2SiO3) = 0.27 mol.
3.Let’s find the mass of Na2SiO3.
m = nM.
M (Na2SiO3) = 122 g / mol.
m = 0.27 mol × 122 g / mol = 32.94 g.
Let’s find the volume of hydrogen.
V = 0.27 × 22.4 L / mol = 6.048 L.
Answer: 32.94 g; 6,048 l.
