Concept explainers
When water is added to a mixture of aluminum metal and sodium hydroxide, hydrogen gas is produced. This is the reaction used in commercial drain cleaners:
(a) Calculate the molarity of the initial NaOH solution.
(b) How many moles of hydrogen were formed?
(c) The hydrogen was collected over water at 25°C and 758.6 mm Hg. The vapor pressure of water at this temperature is 23.8 mm Hg. What volume of hydrogen was generated?

- Consider a 13.0% solution of sulfuric acid, H2SO4,whose density is 1.090 g/mL. (a) Calculate the molarity of this solution. (b) To what volume should 100. mL of this solution bediluted to prepare a 1.10-M solution?arrow_forwardHow would you prepare from the solid and pure water (a) 0.400 L of 0.155 M Sr(OH)2? (b) 1.75 L of 0.333 M (NH4)2CO3?arrow_forwardAcetic acid (HC2H3O2) can be prepared by the action of the acetobacter organism on dilute solutions of ethanol (C2H5OH). The equation for the reaction is C2H5OH(aq)+O2(g)HC2H3O2(aq)+H2OHow many milliliters of a 12.5% (by volume) solution of ethanol are required to produce 175 mL of 0.664 M acetic acid?
