How can you calculate the volume of 2.5 moles of argon gas at STP?
-Since one mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters at STP, the volume of 2.5 moles of argon gas can be calculated by multiplying 2.5 moles by 22.4 liters/mole, which equals 56 liters.
What is the balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of propane?
-The balanced chemical reaction for the combustion of propane (C3H8) with oxygen gas (O2) is 3 C3H8 + 5 O2 → 3 CO2 + 4 H2O, producing carbon dioxide and water.
If 8.4 liters of O2 reacts with excess propane, how many liters of CO2 are produced?
-Using the molar ratio of O2 to CO2, which is 5:3, 8.4 liters of O2 will produce 8.4 * (3/5) = 5.04 liters of CO2.
What is the volume of CO2 gas produced at STP from the decomposition of 7.45 grams of magnesium carbonate?
-First, calculate the moles of MgCO3 (7.45 g / 84.315 g/mol), then since the molar ratio of MgCO3 to CO2 is 1:1, the moles of CO2 produced will be the same. Finally, convert moles of CO2 to volume at STP (moles * 22.4 L/mol) to get approximately 1.98 liters of CO2.
How many grams of magnesium nitride are consumed when 4.7 liters of ammonia gas is collected at 300 Kelvin and 1.6 atm?
-Calculate the moles of NH3 using the ideal gas law (PV = nRT), which gives 0.3055 moles of NH3. Since the molar ratio of NH3 to Mg3N2 is 2:1, 0.3055 moles of NH3 corresponds to 0.3055/2 moles of Mg3N2. With a molar mass of Mg3N2 of 100.935 g/mol, the mass of Mg3N2 consumed is (0.3055/2) * 100.935 g ≈ 15.42 grams.
How do you determine the limiting reactant in a reaction?
-To determine the limiting reactant, calculate the moles of each reactant and then compare the mole per coefficient ratio from the balanced chemical equation. The reactant with the lowest ratio is the limiting reactant.
What is the volume of N2 produced when 4.85 liters of NH3 at 27°C and 1.5 atm is mixed with 5.23 liters of O2 at 32°C and 1.63 atm?
-First, find the moles of NH3 and O2 using the ideal gas law. NH3 is the limiting reactant with a mole ratio of 4:2 to N2. Calculate the moles of N2 produced (0.2857 moles NH3 * 2/4) and then use the ideal gas law to find the volume of N2 at the new conditions (37°C and 1.52 atm), which is approximately 2.392 liters.
How do you calculate the pressure of H2 gas produced when 24 grams of zinc reacts with 245 mL of a 1.75 M HCl solution?
-Calculate the moles of Zn and HCl, identify the limiting reactant (HCl in this case), and use the stoichiometry of the reaction (1 mole Zn reacts with 2 moles HCl to produce 1 mole H2) to find moles of H2. Then use the ideal gas law PV = nRT to calculate the pressure of H2 at the given volume (0.5 L) and temperature (298 K), which is 10.49 atm.
What is the molar mass of magnesium carbonate (MgCO3) in grams per mole?
-The molar mass of MgCO3 is calculated by adding the atomic masses of its constituent elements: magnesium (24.305 g/mol), carbon (12.01 g/mol), and oxygen (3 atoms * 16.00 g/mol). The total molar mass is 24.305 + 12.01 + (3 * 16.00) = 84.315 g/mol.
How can you convert the mass of a substance to moles using its molar mass?
-To convert the mass of a substance to moles, divide the mass of the substance (in grams) by its molar mass (in grams per mole). The result is the number of moles of the substance.
