MCQ
The amount of arsenic pentasulphide that can be obtained when $35.5\,g$  arsenic acid is treated with excess $H_2S$  in the presence of cone. $HCl$  (assuming  $100\%$  conversion) is $....\,\,mol$
  • A
    $0.25$
  • B
    $0.50$
  • C
    $0.333$
  • $0.125$

Answer

Correct option: D.
$0.125$
d
$\underset{1\,moles}{\mathop{\underset{2\,moles\,}{\mathop{2{{H}_{3}}As{{O}_{4}}}}\,}}\,+5{{H}_{2}}S\xrightarrow{Conc.HCl}\underset{1/2\,moles}{\mathop{\underset{1\,mole}{\mathop{A{{s}_{2}}{{S}_{5}}}}\,}}\,+8{{H}_{2}}O$

$\therefore $ number of moles of $H_3AsO_4$

$=\frac{35.5}{142}=0.25$

$\therefore $ number of moles of $As_2S_5$

$=\frac{0.25}{2}=0.125\,mol.$
