Chromium sulfate is an inorganic compound used as a tanning agent for leather manufacturing. It is produced after the reduction of potassium dichromate. The potassium dichromate is treated with 80% aqueous sulfuric acid solution and 20% excess H2O2 by the following reaction: K2Cr2O7  +  4 H2SO4  +  3 H2O2  à  K2SO4  +  Cr2(SO4)3  +  7 H2O  +  3 O2 Analysis of the product mixture shows 40.21% Cr2(SO4)3, 4.11 % K2Cr2O7,  23.21% H2O. On a basis of 1000 kg of product mixture, determine the following: (a) Limiting reactant and excess reactants (b)  % Excess of ER (c) Degree of completion (d) Illustrate The Law of Conservation of Mass

Question

Chromium sulfate is an inorganic compound used as a tanning agent for leather manufacturing. It is produced after the reduction of potassium dichromate. The potassium dichromate is treated with 80% aqueous sulfuric acid solution and 20% excess H2O2 by the following reaction:

K2Cr2O7  +  4 H2SO4  +  3 H2O2  à  K2SO4  +  Cr2(SO4)3  +  7 H2O  +  3 O2

Analysis of the product mixture shows 40.21% Cr2(SO4)3, 4.11 % K2Cr2O7,  23.21% H2O. On a basis of 1000 kg of product mixture, determine the following:

(a) Limiting reactant and excess reactants

(b)  % Excess of ER

(c) Degree of completion

(d) Illustrate The Law of Conservation of Mass

(e) Complete mass composition of product mixture
