Use the following reaction: 2 KMnO4+ H2SO4 --> K2SO4 + Mn2O7 + H2O If 8.0 moles of KMnO4 reacts with an excess amount of H2SO4, how many moles of K2SO4 are produced?

Question

show work please!! in equations! i need it to get credit

Answer 1

Here is the answer-

So according to the balanced equation (given ). , 2 moles of KMnO4 produce 1 mole of K2SO4— we can use this as the conversion factor

We want to find out 8.0 moles of KMnO4 will produce how many moles of K2SO4

this is how we do— 8.0 moles KMnO4. x. 1 mole K2SO4 =. 4.0 moles of K2SO4 will be produced

2 moles KMno4
