Answer:
The correct answer is a) 48.16 grams of HCl will be produced, b) mass of chlorine consumed is 206 grams.
Explanation:
a) The reaction given is:
K₂S₂O₃ + 4Cl₂ + 5H₂O ⇒ 2KHSO₄ + 8HCl
Based on the given information, the mass of KHSO4 is 45 grams. The moles of KHSO4 can be determined by using the formula,
Moles = given mass/Molar mass
= 45/136.16
= 0.33 Moles of KHSO₄
From the reaction it can be seen that when 2 moles of KHSO₄ is produced, 8 moles of HCl is also produced. Therefore,
2 moles of KHSO₄ = 8 moles of HCl
So, moles of HCl will be,
Moles of HCl = 8 × 0.33/2
= 1.321 moles
Now the mass of HCl is,
Mass of HCl = Moles of HCl × Molar mass of HCl
= 1.321 × 36.46
= 48.16 grams of HCl
b) It is known that 1 mole is equal to 6.023 × 10²³ molecules
In the given case, the molecules of water is given, that is, 2.20 * 10²⁴ molecules. Now let us consider that the moles of water is x.
x mole of water = 2.20 × 10²⁴ /6.022 × 10²³
= 3.653 mole of H2O
From the reaction given, it can be seen that when 5 moles of water are consumed, 4 moles of chlorine are consumed.
5 moles of water = 4 moles of chlorine
3.653 moles H₂O = x moles of Cl₂
Moles of Cl₂ = 4 × 3.653 /5
= 2.906 moles Cl₂
Now the mass of Cl₂ determined as,
Mass of Cl₂ = moles of Cl₂ × Molar mass of Cl₂
= 2.906 × 70.9
= 206 grams
