What is the percent of hydrogen peroxide in the solution when 5.02g of H2O2 solution reacts to produce 0.153g of H2O2? 2H2O2 (l) → 2H2O (l) + O2 (g) Mass percent = (mass of solute/mass of solution)*100

Respuesta :

The %  of hydrogen peroxide in the solution is  3 %


         Explanation

mass percentage is  away of representing the concentration  of component in a mixture.  it is calculated as below;

Mass  percent = ( mass of solute/ mass of solution )  x 100


,mass of solute  = 0.153 g

mass of solution= 5.02 g

mass  percentage is therefore= 0.153 g /5.02 g  x 100 =  3%

The percent of hydrogen peroxide [tex]\left({{{\text{H}}_2}{{\text{O}}_2}}\right)[/tex]  in the solution is [tex]\boxed{5.75\;\% }[/tex] .

Further Explanation:

The proportion of substance in the mixture is called concentration. The most commonly used concentration terms are as follows:

1. Molarity (M)

2. Molality (m)

3. Mole fraction (X)

4. Parts per million (ppm)

5. Mass percent ((w/w) %)

6. Volume percent ((v/v) %)

Mass percent:

It is the ratio of the mass of a component divided by the total mass of the solution, multiplied by 100.

The given reaction is as follows:

[tex]2{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}\left( l \right) \to 2{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}\left( l \right) + 2{{\text{O}}_2}\left( g \right)[/tex]

The formula to calculate the moles of  [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex] is as follows:

[tex]{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}} = \frac{{{\text{Given mass of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}}{{{\text{Molar mass of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}}}[/tex]                                          …… (1)

Substitute 0.153 g for the given mass of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex]  and 18 g/mol for the molar mass of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex]  in equation (1).

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}&=\left({{\text{0}}{\text{.153 g}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{1 mol}}}}{{{\text{18 g}}}}}\right)\\&=0.0085{\text{ mol}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, two moles of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  reacts to form two moles of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex] . So the number of moles of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  becomes equal to that of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{\text{O}}[/tex]  and therefore the number of moles of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  is 0.0085 mol.

The formula to calculate the mass of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  is as follows:

[tex]{\text{Mass of}}\,{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}=\left( {{\text{Moles of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}\right)\left({{\text{Molar mass of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_{\text{2}}}}\right)[/tex]       …… (2)

Substitute 0.0085 mol for the moles of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  and 34 g/mol for the molar mass of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  in equation (2).

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Mass of}}\,{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}&=\left({{\text{0}}{\text{.0085 mol}}}\right)\left({\frac{{{\text{34 g}}}}{{{\text{1 mol}}}}}\right)\\&=0.28{\text{9 g}}\\\end{aligned}[/tex]

The formula to calculate the mass percent of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  is as follows:

[tex]{\text{Mass}}\;{\text{percent}}=\left({\frac{{{\text{Mass of }}{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}}}{{{\text{Mass of solution}}}}}\right)\left( {100}\right)[/tex]                                …… (3)

The mass of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  is 0.289 g.

The mass of the solution is 5.02 g.

Substitute these values in equation (3).

[tex]\begin{aligned}{\text{Mass}}\;{\text{percent}}&=\left({\frac{{{\text{0}}{\text{.289 g}}}}{{{\text{5}}{\text{.02 g}}}}}\right)\left({100}\right)\\&=5.75\;\% \\\end{aligned}[/tex]

Therefore the percent of [tex]{{\text{H}}_{\text{2}}}{{\text{O}}_2}[/tex]  is 5.75 %.
