Calcium hydride reacts with water to form hydrogen gas according to the unbalanced equation below: CaH2(s) + H2O(l) --> Ca(OH

)2(aq) + H2(g) This reaction is sometimes used to inflate life rafts, weather balloons, and the like, where a simple, compact means of generating H2 is desired. How many grams of calcium hydride are needed to generate 15.0 L of hydrogen gas at 25 degrees C and 825 torr of pressure?

Answer:

28 grams CaH₂(s) is required for production of 15L H₂(g) at 25°C and 825Torr.

Explanation:

CaH₂(s) + H₂O(l) => Ca(OH)₂(s) + H₂(g)

Using ideal gas law, PV = nRT

=> moles H₂(g) = PV/RT = [(825/760)Atm](15L)/(0.08206L·Atm·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹)(298K) = 0.6659 mol H₂(g)

From stoichiometry of given equation,        

=> 0.6659 mol H₂(g) requires 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s)

Converting moles to grams, multiply by formula weight,

=> 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) = 0.6659 mole CaH₂(s) x 42g/mole = 27.966 grams CaH₂(s) ≅ 28 grams CaH₂(s)  (2 sig. figs.)

A 10.0 g ice cube is placed into 250 g of water with an initial temperature of 20.0 C. If the water drops to a temperature of 16
Alja [10]

the mass of ice taken = 10 g


the mass of water = 250 g


initial temperature of water = 20 C


the final temperature of water = 16. 8 C


specific heat of water = 4.18 J/g*K


the heat absorbed by ice to melt = heat loss by water


heat loss by water = mass X specific heat of water X change in temperature


heat loss by water = 250 X 4.18 X (20-16.8) = 3344 Joules


heat gained by ice = 3344 J


heat gained by ice = enthalpy of fusion X moles of ice


moles of ice = mass / molar mass = 10 / 18 = 0.56 moles


enthalpy of fusion = 3344 / 0.56 = 5971.43 J / mole
