Answer

1.46 x x $10^{5}$ g W

Work Step by Step

Balanced chemical reaction: $WO_{3}$(s) + 3 $H_{2}$(g) ${\longrightarrow}$ W(s) + 3 $H_{2}O$(g) The strategy to find the mass of W that can be obtained from 4.81 kg $H_{2}$ is: g $H_{2}$ ${\rightarrow}$ mol $H_{2}$ ${\rightarrow}$ mol W ${\rightarrow}$ g W The conversion factors are: $\frac{1 mol (H_{2})}{Molar mass (H_{2})}$ to convert to moles $H_{2}$, where Molar mass $H_{2}$: Molar mass $H_{2}$ = 2 x 1.01 g = 2.02 g $\frac{1 mol (W)}{3 mol (H_{2})}$, to convert the moles of $H_{2}$ to mol of W. $\frac{Molar mass(W)}{1 mol(W)}$ to convert to g of W, where the molar mass of W is 183.8 g Now we use of the conversion factors to find the mass of W: 4.81 x $10^{3}$ g $H_{2}$ x $\frac{1 mol (H_{2})}{Molar mass (H_{2})}$ x $\frac{1 mol (W)}{3 mol (H_{2})}$ x $\frac{Molar mass(W)}{1 mol(W)}$ = 4.81 x $10^{3}$ g $H_{2}$ x $\frac{1 mol (H_{2})}{2.02 g (H_{2})}$ x $\frac{1 mol (W)}{3 mol (H_{2})}$ x $\frac{183.8 g(W)}{1 mol(W)}$ = 146 x $10^{3}$ g W or 1.46 x x $10^{5}$ g W
