What is the molarity of the sulfuric acid in this question?
Q. A 11.40 mL sample of sulfuric acid from an automobile battery requires 34.00 mL of 1.92 M sodium hydroxide solution for complete neutralization. What is the molarity of the sulfuric acid? Sulfuric acid contains two acidic hydrogens.

A. First, you need moles of sodium hydroxide: (.034 L)(1.92 M) = .06528 moles To neutralize this, you'll need an equal amount of moles (.06528) of sulfuric acid. So, to determine molarity of sulfuric acid, use: (.06528 moles)/(.01140 L) = 5.726 M sulfuric acid

When the metal Aluminum is mixed with Nitric aid or sulfuric acid why doesnt it produce a reaction?
Q. When the Metal zinc is mixed with Sufuric acid why does no noticeable changes occur? When Copper is mixed with Hydrocholoric acid, Nitric acid, and sulfuric acid out of all there none of the mixtures showed a noticeable change why is that?
Asked by Ashley - Tue Aug 25 22:53:43 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. sulfuric acid is just a strong acid for the first dissociation thereby giving it just singly negative charge. zinc is 2+ cation therefore it cannot form strong ionic bond with HSO4- . In case of copper not reacting with nitric acid, or HCl , is due to the lw activity of copper metal with respect to H , this is based on the activity series of metal , you may wish to review this. or try to find the series from other websites or books. hope that helps. have a nice day . =>

A. 40% H2SO4 would probably corrode most if not all of the surfaces it came into contact with, which, while I'm not a car person, I imagine would do a significant amount of damage to the engine and fuel system. Other things I've heard that are rough on cars - Sugar in the gas tank (it caramelizes when it heats up), or thermite (A combination of rusted iron and powdered aluminum that when ignited can burn as hot as 4000 deg F - almost hot enough to boil the aluminum)

Testing reactivity of metals using sulfuric acid?
Q. i tested for the reactivity of metals using sulfuric acid.. what does the acid do? and does it matter if i use another acid instead of sulfuric?
Asked by melanie_61 - Sat Mar 28 04:38:54 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. If you are using DILUTE sulphuric acid, you are testing to see if the metal will displace H+(aq) from solution as H2. Any strong acid will do. A typical reaction is Zn(s) + 2 H+(aq) --> Zn2+(aq) + H2 This kind of reaction will work if the metal is above hydrogen in the reactivity series. If you are using concentrated sulphuric acid, that is another matter. For example, copper will not dissolve in dilute acid, or in concentrated HCl, but will dissolve on heating in concentrated sulphuric acid, reducing the acid to SO2, and in concentrated nitric acid, reducing it to NO2.

Is it possible to dilute a large spill of concentrated sulfuric acid?
Q. Acid should always be added to water, and not the reverse. So lets say there has been a humongous spillage of sulfuric acid in a chemical plant. Is it possible to reduce the potential damage by diluting the acid? Or would that be impossible since the acid cannot be added to the water (We can only add water to the acid because its a spill...)? Is there any way to dilute the acid? Safely...?
Asked by Greyskiescheermeup - Wed Mar 4 08:51:17 2009 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. The problem is the intense generation of heat that comes from adding water to acid. Probably the better course of action would be to neutralize the solution with a bicarbonate solution or foam.

A. HCl is the stronger acid (pKa=-6). The pKa of H2SO4 is -3. Based on acidity constants I would expect HCl to react more vigorously. On the other hand H2SO4 has two acidic groups (and protons to loose) to react with. At equal molarity sulfuric acid has twice as much "acid" to react with. Maybe that's the reason why.

A. Breathing in sulfuric acid can cause minor respiratory problems, but the acid's gas particles may cause tooth erosion. You should keep your children far away from the area you used it because children have a higher sensitivity to sulfuric acid. Children breathe in more air a day than adults because they have smaller airways. I suggest you open ALL the windows and doors.
