A26.08 g mixture of zinc and sodium is reacted with a stoichiometric amount of sulfuric acid. the reaction mixture is then reacted with 132 ml of 3.80 m barium chloride to produce the maximum possible amount of barium sulfate. determine the percent sodium by mass in the original mixture.

Molar percent of sodium in original mixture is 88,50%

Explanation:

The last reaction is:

BaCl₂ + Na₂SO₄ → BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

The moles of BaCl₂ are:

0,132L × 3,80M = 0,502 moles of BaCl₂

As the amount of BaCl₂ is the maximum possible to produce BaSO₄, the moles of BaCl₂ must be the same than moles of Na₂SO₄.

0,502 moles of BaCl₂ ≡ 0,502 moles of Na₂SO₄

These moles of Na₂SO₄ comes from:

2 Na + H₂SO₄ → Na₂SO₄ + H₂

As the reaction is in stoichiometric amounts, moles of Na are twice the moles of Na₂SO₄

0,502 moles of Na₂SO₄ ×× 22,99 g/mole = 23,08 g of Na

Molar percent of sodium in original mixture is:

= 88,50%

answer: cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create atp, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. it has four stages known as glycolysis, link reaction, the krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain.
