CHEMISTRY | QN 07 | MOLE CONCEPT


200 cm3 of sulphuric acid reacted with Barium nitrate to form nitric acid and barium sulphate solid at S.T.P. Work out;
i. Mass of Barium sulphate formed.
ii. Moles of Barium sulphate formed.


  • Data


    Volume = 200cm3 (0.2dm3) 0f H2SO2

    Molar volume of S.T.P = 22.4dm3/mole
    Asked:
    i. Mass of Barium Sulphate
    ii. Moles of Barium Sulphate

    Balanced chemical equation for the reaction.
    Ba(NO3)2(aq) + H2SO4(aq) → BaSO4(S) + 2HNO3(aq)

    1 mole: 1 mole: 1 mole: 2 mole
  • i/ Mass of Barium sulphate formed



    convert 0.2dm3 into mole
    Mole of H2 = 0.2dm3 / 22.4dm3
    = 0.00892 mole.

    write mole equivalent between H2 and BaSO4
    1 Mole of H2 Ξ 1 mole of BaSO4
    0.008928 mole Ξ ?? of BaSO4

    = (1 mole × 0.008928 mole) / 1 mole
    = 0.008928 mole of BaSO4

    Mass of BaSO4 = Mole × Molar mass
    Molar mass of BaSO4 = 56 +32 +(16×4)
    = 56 +32 +64
    = 152g/mole

    Mass = 0.008928 mole × 152g/mole
    = 1.357056g

    1.357056g of Barium Sulphate was produced.
  • ii/calculate the mole of Barium Sulphate formed.


    From equivalent moles between H2 and BaSO4

    1 mole of H2 Ξ 1 mole of BaSO4
    0.008928 mole of H2 Ξ ?? of BaSO4

    = (0.008928 mole × 1 mole) / 1 mole
    = 0.008928 mole

    0.008928 moles of Barium Sulphate was produced.
