Calculate the maximum mass of potassium sulfate, K2SO4, that could be formed when 4.9 g of sulfuric acid reacts with excess potassium hydroxide. H2SO4 + 2KOH → K2SO4 + 2H2O

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.

why is cellular respiration important for homeostasis?

it changes food into energy that the organism can use.

which of the following is most likely to happen if a cell is not able to divide?

the cell will not be replaced when it is damaged.

explanation:

while cooking a piece of 1/2 pound beef steak, a cast iron pan (2.4kg in weight) was heated 260 celsius.
