Answer to Question #170190 in General Chemistry for Danayrelys Guillen

Question

A reaction calls for 4.82 mols of sulfuric acid (H2SO4) to neutralize a base. How many moles of hydrogen, H, would me added due to the addition of the sulfuric acid?

a) 2 mols H

b) 2.41 mols H

c) 9.64 mols H

d) 19.3 mols H

Answer 1

In the formula H₂SO₄ there are 2 moles of H⁺ ions for every mole of H₂SO₄

Therefore, moles of H+ = 2 x moles of H2SO4

= 2 x 4.82 mol

= 9.64 moles of H⁺ ions
