In 1897 the swedish explorer andree tried to reach the north pole in a balloon. the balloon was filled with hydrogen gas. the hydrogen gas was prepared from iron splints and diluted sulfuric acid. the reaction is given below. fe(s) + h2so4(aq) feso4(aq) + h2(g)the volume of the balloon was 4870 m3 and the loss of hydrogen gas during filling was estimated at 20.%. what mass of iron splints and 95% (by mass) h2so4 were needed to ensure the complete filling of the balloon? assume a temperature of 0°c, a pressure of 1.0 atm during filling, and 100% yield. iron splints = % sulfuric acid =

iron = 15000 kg 95% sulfuric acid = 27646.32 kg

Explanation:

The molar volume to a gas is 22.4 L, which means that a mole of a given gas at 0°C and 1 atm will have a volume os 22.4 L.

1 m3 - 1000 L

4870 m3 - x

x = 4870 * 1000 = 4.87 *10^6 L

1 mole - 22.4 L

y mole - 4.87 * 10^6 L

y = = 2,17 *10^5 moles (if 100% of the H2 is used)

as 20% of it is lost, we need to know how much more we need to use.

80% - 2.17 * 10^5 moles

100% - z

z = = 2,68*10^5 moles

so we would need 2.68*10^5 moles of iron and sulfuric acid.

1 mole of iron - 56 *10^-3 kg

2.68*10^5 moles - t

t= 2.68*56 *10^2 = 15000 kg

1 mole of sulfuric acid - 98 * 10^-3 kg

2.68*10^5 - u

u = 2.68*98 *10^2 = 26264 kg (if 100%)

95% - 26264 kg

100% - v

v = = 27646.32 kg

answer; i believe that the correct answer is (a); a large rock being weathered by wind and rain;

water and alcohols have similar properties because water molecules contain hydroxyl groups that can form hydrogen bonds with other water molecules and with alcohol molecules, and likewise alcohol molecules can form hydrogen bonds with other alcohol molecules as well as with water.
