The ratio of chlorine to hydrogen chloride in the reaction

1 answer:

8 0

It is a simple stoichiometry problem. We have been given with balanced equation and 5.00 moles of HCl and have to calculate the moles of H2.

From the balanced equation it is being clear that 2 moles of HCl are produced by 1 mole of H2. so, 1 mole of HCl will be produced by 1/2 moles of H2. So, the mole ratio of H2 and HCl is 1:2 
to calculate the moles of H2 for the given moles of HCl, multiply the moles of HCl by the mole ratio of H2 and HCl. 

5.00 mole HCl x (1 mole H2/ 2 mole HCl) 
= 2.50 mole H2 
so, to produce 5.00 moles of HCl, 2.50 moles of H2 are required.

Sulfur dioxide gas (SO2) and oxygen gas (O2) react to form the liquid product of sulfur trioxide (SO3). How much sulfur dioxide

taurus [48]

1) Balanced chemical equation:

2SO2 (g) + O2 (g) -> 2SO3 (l)

2) Molar ratios

2 mol SO2 : 1 mol O2 : 2 mol SO3

3) Convert 6.00 g O2 to moles

number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

number of moles = 6.00 g / 32 g/mol = 0.1875 mol O2.

4) Use proportions with the molar ratios

=> 2 moles SO2 / 1 mol O2 = x / 0.1875 mol O2

=> x = 0.1875 mol O2 * 2 mol SO2 / 1 mol O2 = 0.375 mol SO2.

5) Convert 0.375 mol SO2 to grams

mass in grams = number of moles * molar mass

molar mass SO2 = 32 g/mol + 2*16 g/mol = 64 g/mol

=> mass SO2 = 0.375 mol * 64 g / mol = 24.0 g

Answer: 24.0 g of SO2 are needed to react completely with 6.00 g O2.

If a 0.4681 g Mg strip reacts with 0.650 M HCl in a 139.3 mL flask at 25oC, what is the minimum volume (mL) of HCl needed to com

Marizza181 [45]

The reaction between the magnesium, Mg, and the hydrochloric acid, HCl is given in the equation below,

Mg + 2HCl --> H2 + MgCl2

The number of moles of HCl that is needed for the reaction is calculated below.
n = (0.4681 g Mg)(1 mol Mg/24.305 g Mg)(2 mol HCl/1 mol Mg)
n = 0.0385 mols HCl

From the given concentration, we calculate for the required volume.
V = 0.0385 mols HCl/(0.650 mols/L)
V = 0.05926 L or 59.26 mL

Answer: 59.26 mL of HCl

Nicotine is 74.1% carbon, 8.6% hydrogen, and 17.3% nitrogen by mass. What is its molecular formula if its molar mass is 162.26 g

WINSTONCH [101]

first we need to find the empirical formula of nicotine

empirical formula is the simplest ratio of whole numbers of elements making up a compound

the percentage compositions for each element has been given. So we can calculate for 100 g of the compound.

masses of elements and the number of moles

C - 74.1 g - 74.1 g/12 g/mol = 6.17 mol

H - 8.6 g - 8.6 g / 1 g/mol = 8.6 mol

N - 17.3 g - 17.3 g / 14 g/mol = 1.23

divide all by the least number of moles

C - 6.17 / 1.23 = 5.01

H - 8.6 / 1.23 = 6.99

N - 1.23 / 1.23 = 1.00

when the atoms are rounded off to the nearest whole numbers

C - 5

H - 7

N - 1

empirical formula is C₅H₇N

we have to find what the mass of 1 empirical unit is

mass - 5 x 12 g/mol + 7 x 1 g/mol + 14 g/mol = 81 g

molecular mass is 162.26 g/mol

we have to find how many empirical units make up 1 molecule

number of empirical units = molecular mass / mass of 1 empirical unit

= 162.26 g/mol / 81 g = 2.00

there are 2 empirical units

molecular formula is - 2 (C₅H₇N)

molecular formula - C₁₀H₁₄N₂
