450g of chromium(iii) sulfate reacts with excess potassium phosphate. How many grams of potassium sulfate will be produced? (ANS
1 answer:
Answer:
600 g K₂SO₄
Explanation:
First write down the complete, balanced chemical equation for such question. In this case:
Cr₂(SO₄)₃ + 2K₃PO₄ → 3K₂SO₄ + 2CrPO₄
Next, calculate molar masses of required compounds mentioned in the question. In this case it is for Cr₂(SO₄)₃ and K₂SO₄.
- Molar mass(MM) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃:
= 2*(MM of Cr) + 3*( MM of S) + 3*4*( MM of O)
= 2*(52) + 3*(32) + 12*(16)
= 104 + 96 + 192
= 392 g
- Molar mass(MM) of K₂SO₄:
= 2*(MM of K) + 1*( MM of S) + 4*( MM of O)
= 2*(39) + 32 + 4*(16)
= 78 + 32 + 64
= 174 g
Here comes the concept of Limiting reagent:
The limiting reagent in a chemical reaction is the substance that is totally consumed when the chemical reaction is complete. The amount of product formed is limited by this reagent, since the reaction cannot continue without it. The other reactants present with this are usually in excess and called excess reactants. If quantities of both the reactants are given, then one should apply unitary method and find out the limiting reagent out of the two. Then, determine the amount of product formed or percentage yield.
Also, 1 mole( 392 g) of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 3 moles( 174*3 = 522 g) of K₂SO₄.
Using unitary method, if 392g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ gives 522 g of K₂SO₄ , then 450 g of Cr₂(SO₄)₃ will give how much of K₂SO₄?
Yeild of K₂SO₄ :
That is 599.3 g.
Since we have not considered molecular masses of individual atoms to 6 decimal places, this number can be approximated to 600g.
Therefore, 600g of K₂SO₄ is produced.

In the extraction process of steel, one of the step is purification of the iron used to make the steel. In which pure oxygen is blown on the steel at high temperature so that the carbon percentage present in the steel can be thrown out in the form of gas. The process occurs at high temperature which is called combustion process. The reaction occurs can be shown as- C(s)+→C
(g) + CO (g). In presence of excess oxygen, the produced carbon mono oxide (CO) converts to carbon di-oxide. The reaction is CO(g) +
(g) → C
(g). From the density of the evolved gas one could identify the gas. If the gas density is 1.77g/L which is very close to the standard density of C
i.e. 1.80g/L, the gas is carbon dioxide only.
Answer:
strength of hypericin in mixture = 0.42 %
Explanation:
given data
each lot = 100 g
active component hypericin = 0.3%, 0.7%, and 0.25%
solution
we get here percent strength o hypericin in the mixture that is
Hypericin contribution lot 1 = × 100
Hypericin contribution lot 1 = 0.3 g
and
Hypericin contribution lot 2 = × 100
Hypericin contribution lot 2 = 0.7 g
and
Hypericin contribution lot 3 = × 100
Hypericin contribution lot 3 = 0.25 g
so
total 300 g mixture of hypericin contain = 0.3 g + 0.7 g + 0.25 g
total 300 g mixture of hypericin = 1.25 g
so here percent strength o hypericin in mixture is
strength of hypericin in mixture = × 100
strength of hypericin in mixture = 0.42 %
