Question:

Commercial sodium “hydrosulfite” is 90.1% Na2S2O4. The sequence of reactions used to prepare the compound isZn(s) + 2 SO(g)  ZnSO4(s) ZnSO4(s) + NaCO3(aq)  ZnCO3(s) + NaSO4(aq)

(a) What mass of pure Na2S2O4 can be prepared from 125 kg of Zn, 500. g of SO2, and an excess of Na2CO3?

(b) What mass of the commercial product would contain the Na2S2O4 produced using the amounts of reactants in part (a)?
