Question

What is the mass of 2.25 moles of sulfuric acid?

Answer 1

In order to answer the query, we must first describe what sulphuric acid is and how to determine it, as well as provide a proper description and characteristics. As an example, the chemical formula we must use to calculate the mass =$mole \times molecular{\text{ }}mass$ .

Complete answer:
The given question statement asks about the sulfuric acid, the main concepts of the moles and subsequently the molecular mass of sulfuric acid. Which should be determined in a step by step process.
Sulfuric acid or the sulphuric acid is also known as the oil of vitriol as its common name, it is a mineral acid that is composed of the elements of sulphur, oxygen and hydrogen, with the chemical molecular formula ${H_2}S{O_4}$. It is also a colorless, odorless and viscous liquid that is miscible with water at all concentrations.
Now we have to give the step by step solution of the problem.
Step 1:
We have to find the 1 mole molecular mass of the ${H_2}S{O_4}$ which should be the addition of the atoms of the sulphuric acid .
This would be $= 1 \times 2 + 32 \times 1 + 16 \times 4 = 98g$
Step 2:
Now the mass of the 1 mole ${H_2}S{O_4}$ is $= 98g$
So we have to multiply the number of molecules with the molecular mass to get the desired answer:
$= 2.25 \times 98g \\\ = 220g \\\$
Therefore the answer for the given problem is $220g$ .

Note:
Sulfuric acid is a very important commodity chemical, and a nation's sulfuric acid production is a good indicator of its industrial strength. It is widely produced with different methods, such as contact process, wet sulfuric acid process, lead chamber process and some other methods.
