Determine the percent sulfuric acid by mass of a 1.61 m aqueous solution of h2so4. %

The percentage of sulfuric acid = 10.2% (w/w)

Given:

Molality of solution = 1.61m

It is a measure of the number of moles of solute in a solution corresponding to 1 kg or 1000 g of solvent.

1.61 molal H₂SO₄ = 1.61 mole H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent

= 1.61 mole(98 g/mole)/Kg Solvent = 113.68 g H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent

Solution is made up of solute and solvent. Thus,

Solution weight = 1000 g solvent + 113.68 g solute = 1113.68 g Solution

Wt%H₂SO₄ = 10.2% (w/w)

Explanation:

1.61 molal H₂SO₄ = 1.61 mole H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent = 1.61 mole(98 g/mole)/Kg Solvent = 113.68 g H₂SO₄/Kg Solvent

Solution weight = 1000 g solvent + 113.68 g solute = 1113.68 g Solution

Wt%H₂SO₄ = (113.68 g/1113.68g)100% = 10.2% (w/w)

- calcium has greater affinity to bond with electron receptors than hydrogen does and hence, it has the ability to replace hydrogen in most of its compounds.

- lithium has 2 valence electrons in the product because it can make only 1 bond with hydrogen. beryllium has 4 valence electrons in the product because it can only make 2 bonds. it has fewer electrons than neon and can react with electron donors. each hydrogen has 2 valence electrons, the same as helium.

- the covalent bond formed between carbon and hydrogen is polar because carbon is more electronegative than hydrogen and it attracts the bonded electron pair closer to itself, thus giving hydrogen a partial positive charge.

- a hydrogen bond is a relatively weak bond that hydrogen atoms make with the electronegative atoms nitrogen, oxygen or fluorine.

so the best choice is a.) 2 calcium (ca) atoms
