Determine the mass of water produced from 50g hydrochloric acid and
excess potassium hydroxide. HCI + KOH --> H₂O + KCI


Sagot :

Answer:

24.7 grams H₂O

Explanation:

To find the mass of water, you should (1) convert from grams HCl to moles (via molar mass from periodic table), then (2) convert from moles HCl to moles H₂O (via mole-to-mole ratio from equation), and then (3) convert from moles H₂O to grams (via molar mass from periodic table).

1 HCl + KOH --> 1 H₂O + KCl

Molar Mass (HCl): 1.008 g/mol + 35.45 g/mol
Molar Mass (HCl): 36.458 g/mol

Molar Mass (H₂O): 2(1.008 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol
Molar Mass (H₂O): 18.016 g/mol

50 g HCl        1 mole HCl          1 mole H₂O           18.016 g
--------------  x  ------------------  x  -------------------  x  -------------------  = 24.7 g H₂O
                        36.458 g           1 mole HCl          1 mole H₂O
