When organic compounds containing sulfur are burned, sulfur dioxide is produced. The amount of SO2formed can be determined by the reaction with hydrogen peroxide:
The resulting sulfuric acid is then titrated with a standard NaOH solution. A 1 .302-g sample of coal is burned, and the SO2is collected in a solution of hydrogen peroxide. It took 28.44 mL of a 0.1000 M NaOH solution to titrate the resulting sulfuric acid. Calculate the mass percent of sulfur in the coal sample. Sulfuric acid has two acidic hydrogens.

- Determine the volume of sulfuric acid solution needed to prepare 37.4 g of aluminum sulfate, Al2(SO4)3, by the reaction 2Al(s)+3H2SO4(aq)Al2(SO4)3(aq)+3H2(g) The sulfuric acid solution, whose density is 1.104 g/mL, contains 15.0% H2SO4 by mass.arrow_forward1. Sometimes a reaction can fall in more than one category. Into what category (or categories) does the reaction of Ba(OH)2(aq) + H+PO4(aq) fit? acid-base and oxidation-reduction oxidation-reduction acid-base and precipitation precipitationarrow_forwardYou are given a solid mixture of NaNO2 and NaCl and are asked to analyze it for the amount of NaNO2 present. To do so, you allow the mixture to react with sulfamic acid, HSO3NH2, in water according to the equation NaNO2(aq) + HSO3NH2(aq) NaHSO4(aq) + H2O() + N2(g) What is the weight percentage of NaNO2 in 1.232 g of the solid mixture if reaction with sulfa-mic acid produces 295 mL of dry N2 gas with a pressure of 713 mm Hg at 21.0 C?arrow_forward
- An antacid tablet has calcium carbonate as the active ingredient; other ingredients include a starch binder. You dissolve the tablet in hydrochloric acid and filter off insoluble material. You add potassium oxalate to the filtrate (containing calcium ion) to precipitate calcium oxalate. If a tablet weighing 0.750 g gave 0.629 g of calcium oxalate, what is the mass percentage of active ingredient in the tablet?arrow_forwardA soluble iodide was dissolved in water. Then an excess of silver nitrate, AgNO3, was added to precipitate all of the iodide ion as silver iodide, AgI. If 1.545 g of the soluble iodide gave 2.185 g of silver iodide, how many grams of iodine are in the sample of soluble iodide? What is the mass percentage of iodine, I, in the compound?arrow_forwardThe carbon dioxide exhaled in the breath of astronauts is often removed from the spacecraft by reaction with lithium hydroxide 2LiOH(s)+CO2(g)Li2CO3(s)+H2O(l) Estimate the grams of lithium hydroxide required per astronaut per day. Assume that each astronaut requires 2.50 103 kcal of energy per day. Further assume that this energy can be equated to the heat of combustion of a quantity of glucose, C6H12O6, to CO2(g) and H2O(l). From the amount of glucose required to give 2.50 103 kcal of heat, calculate the amount of CO2 produced and hence the amount of LiOH required. The H for glucose(s) is 1273 kJ/mol.arrow_forward
