The correct Answer is:
To solve the problem of determining the volume of 2 N \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) solution required to oxidize 0.81 g of \( H_2S \) in acidic medium, we will follow these steps: ### Step 1: Calculate the number of moles of \( H_2S \) To find the number of moles, we will use the formula: \[ \text{Number of moles} = \frac{\text{mass (g)}}{\text{molar mass (g/mol)}} \] The molar mass of \( H_2S \) is calculated as follows: - Hydrogen (H) = 1 g/mol, and there are 2 H atoms: \( 2 \times 1 = 2 \) g/mol - Sulfur (S) = 32 g/mol Thus, the molar mass of \( H_2S \) is: \[ 2 + 32 = 34 \text{ g/mol} \] Now, substituting the values: \[ \text{Number of moles of } H_2S = \frac{0.81 \text{ g}}{34 \text{ g/mol}} \approx 0.0238 \text{ moles} \] ### Step 2: Determine the n-factor for \( H_2S \) The n-factor is determined by the change in oxidation state of sulfur in \( H_2S \). In \( H_2S \), sulfur has an oxidation state of -2, and in elemental sulfur (S), it has an oxidation state of 0. The change in oxidation state is: \[ \text{Change} = 0 - (-2) = 2 \] Thus, the n-factor for \( H_2S \) is 2. ### Step 3: Calculate the equivalence of \( H_2S \) Using the formula: \[ \text{Equivalence} = \text{n-factor} \times \text{number of moles} \] Substituting the values: \[ \text{Equivalence of } H_2S = 2 \times 0.0238 \approx 0.0476 \text{ equivalents} \] ### Step 4: Set up the equivalence equation According to the stoichiometry of the reaction, the equivalences of \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) will equal the equivalences of \( H_2S \): \[ \text{Equivalence of } K_2Cr_2O_7 = \text{Equivalence of } H_2S \] The equivalence of \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) can be expressed as: \[ \text{Equivalence} = \text{Normality} \times \text{Volume (L)} \] Given that the normality of \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) is 2 N, we have: \[ 2 \times V = 0.0476 \] ### Step 5: Solve for the volume \( V \) Rearranging the equation gives: \[ V = \frac{0.0476}{2} = 0.0238 \text{ L} \] To convert this to milliliters: \[ V = 0.0238 \text{ L} \times 1000 \text{ mL/L} = 23.8 \text{ mL} \] ### Final Answer The volume of 2 N \( K_2Cr_2O_7 \) solution required to oxidize 0.81 g of \( H_2S \) is **23.8 mL**. ---
