please answer all 3 parts. thank you!
Explanation / Answer
Ans. #a. NaIO3 is oxidizing agent (getting reduced from oxidation number +5 to 0).
NaHSO3 is reducing agent (getting oxidized from oxidation number +4 to +6)
Note: The terms limiting reactant and reagent in excess can’t be used because the amount of two reactants is not mentioned.
#b. Mass of I2 to be produced = 1.17 kg = 1170.0 g
Moles of I2 to be produced = Mass / Molar mass
= 1170.0 g / (253.80894 g/ mol)
= 4.6097667 mol
# According to the stoichiometry of balanced reaction, 2 mol NaIO3 and 5 mol NaHSO3 are required to produce 1 mol I2.
So,
I. Moles of NaIO3 required = (2 mol NaIO3 / 1 mol I2) x Desired Moles of I2
= (2 mol NaIO3 / 1 mol I2) x 4.6097667 mol
= 9.2195 mol
Now,
Mass of NaIO3 required = Required moles x Molar mass
= 9.2195 mol x (197.892438 g/ mol)
= 1824.4759 g
= 1.8245 kg
II. Moles of NaHSO3 required = (5 mol NaHSO3 / 1 mol I2) x Desired Moles of I2
= (5 mol NaHSO3 / 1 mol I2) x 4.6097667 mol
= 23.0488 mol
Now,
Mass of NaHSO3 required = Required moles x Molar mass
= 23.0488 mol x (104.061908 g/ mol)
= 2398.5056 g
= 2.399 kg
#c. In balanced reaction, the theoretical molar ration of reactants is-
NaIO3 : NaHSO3 = 2 : 5
# Moles of NaIO3 taken = 15.0 g / (197.892438 g/ mol) = 0.075798753 mol
Moles of NaIO3 taken = Molarity x Volume of solution in liters
= 0.853 M x 0.125 L
= 0.106625 mol
Experimental molar ration of reactants is-
NaIO3 : NaHSO3 = 0.075798753 mol : 0.106625 mol = 2 : 2.82
# Comparing the theoretical and experimental molar ratios, the moles of NaHSO3 less than theoretical 5 mol when that of NaIO3 is kept constant at 2 mol.
Therefore, NaHSO3 is the limiting reactant.
# The formation of product follows the stoichiometry of limiting reactant.
So,
Theoretical moles of I2 produced = (2 mol I2 / 5 mol NaHSO3) x Moles of NaHSO3 taken
= (2 mol I2 / 5 mol NaHSO3) x 0.106625 mol
= 0.266563 mol
Now,
Theoretical yield of I2 = Theoretical moles of I2 x Molar mass
= 0.266563 mol x (253.80894 g/ mol)
= 67.656 g
Hence, theoretical yield of I2 = 67.656 g
