Question

A tanker truck carrying 2.01x103 kg of concentrated sulfuric acid solution tips over and spills its load. The sulfuric acid solution is 95.0% H2SO4 by mass and has a density of 1.84 g/mL.

Answer 1

Equation: Na,C0, + H2SO4 →→ Na250. + H2O + CO2 10 g 1 mol H2SO4 =2.05x10* mol H,SO No of moles of H, SO, = 2.01x10 kg x 1 kg 98.0 g o so 1 mol Na, CO, Theoretical yield of Na2CO3 = 2.05x10* mol H,50.- 1 mol H2SO4 = 2.05x10* mol Na,C0zx 1 mol Na co x 106.01 g x 1 kg 10 g = 2.17x10 kg
