From the equation:
1 mole Fe₂O₃ needs 3 moles of CO
1.75 moles require:
1.75 x 3
= 5.25 moles of CO
Physical. chemical only applies when it undergoes a reaction
W = AB x F x Cos < AB, F
or just W= AB x F for short
1) Write the balanced chemical equation
2HCl + Na2 CO3 ----------> 2NaCl + H2CO3
2) Write the molar ratios:
2 mol HCl : 1 mol Na2CO3 : 2 mol NaCl : 1 mol H2CO3
3) Convert 0.15g of sodium carbonate to number of moles
3a) Calculate the molar mass of Na2CO3
Na: 2 * 23 g/mol = 46 g/mol
C: 12 g/mol =
O: 3 * 16 g/mol = 48 g/mol
molar mass = 46g/mol + 12g/mol + 48g/mol = 106 g/mol
3b.- Calculate the number of moles of Na2CO3
# moles = grams / molar mass = 0.15 g / 106 g/mol = 0.0014 mol Na2CO3
4) Calculate the number of moles of HCl from the molar proportion:
[0.0014 mol Na2CO3] * [2 mol HCl / 1 mol Na2CO3] = 0.0028 mol HCl
5) Calculate the volume of HCl from the definition of Molarity
Molarity, M = # moles / volume in liters
=> Volume in liters = # moles / M = 0.0028 mol / 0.1 M = 0.028 liters
0.028 liters * 1000 ml / liter = 28 ml.
Answer: 28 mililiters of 0.1 M HCl.
