When a solution containing 1.4000 g of Ba(NO3)2 and 2.4000 g of HSO3NH2 is boiled, a precipitate forms. One possible identity for this precipitate is Ba(SO3NH2)2. a) Determine the limiting reagent for the balanced reaction, and then calculate the theoretical yield in moles.
b) Calculate the experimental molar mass if 1.6925 g of product were formed.

See explanation for detailed solution

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is Ba(NO3)2 + 2HSO3NH2 → Ba(SO3NH2)2 + 2HNO3

Number of moles of Ba(NO3)2 = 1.4 g/ 261.337 g/mol = 5.36 × 10^-3 moles

From the reaction equation;

1 mole of Ba(NO3)2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(NO3)2 yields 5.36 × 10^-3 moles of Ba(SO3NH2)2

For HSO3NH2

Number of moles = 2.4g/97.10 g/mol =0.0247 moles

2 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 1 mole of Ba(SO3NH2)2

0.0247 moles of HSO3NH2 yields 0.0247 ×1/2 = 0.0137 moles

Hence, Ba(NO3)2 is the limiting reactant

The theoretical yield of Ba(SO3NH2)2 is 5.36 × 10^-3 moles × 329.4986 g/mol = 1.766 g

b)

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass = mass/ number of moles

Molar mass = 1.6925 g/5.36 × 10^-3 moles = 315.76 g

a is the answer

explanation:

which statement about trans-fatty acids is false?

a. the conversion of cis-fatty acids to trans-fatty acids is inhibited by the presence of antioxidants.

hope this
