JEE MAIN - Chemistry (2016 - 9th April Morning Slot - No. 21)

The amount of arsenic pentasulphide that can be obtained when 35.5 g arsenic acid istreated with excess H2S in the presence of conc. HCl ( assuming 100% conversion) is :
0.50 mol
0.25 mol
0.125 mol
0.333 mol

Explanation

2H3 As O4 + 5H2S  $$\mathrel{\mathop{\kern0pt\longrightarrow} \limits_{HCl}^{conc}} $$   As2S5 + 8H2O

35.5 g of H3AsO4 = $${{35.5} \over {142}}$$ = 0.25 moles

Let, As2S5 produced = n moles.

$$\therefore\,\,\,$$ $${{0.25} \over 2} = {n \over 1}$$

$$ \Rightarrow $$$$\,\,\,$$ n = 0.125 mol.
