Hey,

I feel silly asking for help on this question but I have spent 2 hours reading and trying to figure it out myself.  Hope you guys can help.

I will type the question and hopefully you can guide me to the correct answer.

Potassium Peroxydisulfate K₂S₂O₈, and important industrial bleaching agent is produced by the reaction (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ + 2KHSO₄ = K₂S₂O₈ + 2NH₄HSO₄

What Mass (in grams) of K₂S₂O₈ would be produced when 50.0G OF (NH₄)₂S₂O₈ reacts with 50.0g of KHSO₄?

I did attempt trying to do it but I could understand the equation or the way of getting it done.  The question before it asked for the Limiting Reagent between (NH₄)₂S₂0₈ and KHS0₄ which I worked it out to be (NH₄)₂S₂O₈.

Can anyone please help?

Thanks Aleysha

Show how you have approached the problem and how you have found out the limiting reagent.

Sorry I am just looking for the equation not the answer it takes me too long to write my explanation for my previous question so thanks anyway i'll just guess it and hope i'm right.

Could you please tell me if this is the correct answer 2.86 x 10_-1

Thank you

Could you please tell me if this is the correct answer 2.86 x 10^-1

Obviously not, without looking into details. All substances in the question have molar masses in the same range, there are similar amounts of the reagents.  Correct answer will be in the range of tens of grams, not tenths.
