Atanker truck carrying 6.05×103 kg of concentrated sulfuric acid solution tips over and spills its load. the sulfuric acid solution is 95.0%h2so4 by mass and has a density of 1.84 g/ml.

part a

sodium carbonate (na2co3) is used to neutralize the sulfuric acid spill. how many kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 6.05×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution?

express your answer with the appropriate units

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize of sulfuric acid solution.

Explanation:

Mass of sulfuric acid solution =

Percentage mass of sulfuric acid = 95.0%

Mass of sulfuric acid =

Moles of sulfuric acid =

According to reaction , 1 mole of sulfuric acid is neutralized by 1 mole of sodium carbonate.

Then 58,647.96 moles of sulfuric acisd will be neutralized by :

of sodium carbonate

Mass of 58,647.96 moles of sodium carbonate :

6,216,683.76 g = 6,216,683.76 × 0.001 kg = 6,216.684 kg

6,216.684 kilograms of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize of sulfuric acid solution.
