What is the maxiumum volume of H2 gas at STP that can be produced when 14.0 g of CaH2 and 28.0 g H2O react?

1 answer:

6 0

You are given the mass of CaH2 which is 14 grams and H2O which is 28 grams. You are required to find the maximum volume of H2 gas at STP. The balanced chemical reaction is CaH2 + 2H2O -> Ca(OH)2 + H2. Note that for every one mole of CaH2, 2 moles of H2O is needed to completely react and produce Ca(OH)2 + H2. So the CaH2 and H2O are at equal proportions. At STP, temperature is at 0°C(273K) and pressure at 1 atm. The molar mass of CaH2 is 42 grams per mole.

14g CaH2(1mol CaH2/42 grams CaH2)(1mol H2/1mol CaH2) = 0.333 moles H2

The ideal gas equation is PV=nRT, with R(gas constant) = 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K. Get the equation for volume, we have

V=nRT/P
V=(0.333molH2)( 0.08206 L-atm/mol-K)(273K)/1atm
V=7.47L

What is exchanged between the system and the surroundings

BartSMP [9]

Answer:

see note under explanation

Explanation:

When describing system and surroundings the system is typically defined as the 'object of interest' being studied and surroundings 'everything else'. In thermodynamics heat flow is typically defined as endothermic or exothermic. However, one should realize that the terms endothermic and exothermic are in reference to the 'system' or object of interest being studied. For example if heat is transferred from a warm object to a cooler object it is imperative that the system be defined 1st. So, with that, assume the system is a warm metal cylinder being added into cooler water. When describing heat flow then the process is exothermic with respect to the metal cylinder (the system) but endothermic to the water and surroundings (everything else).

What is the molarity of a solution composed of 5.85 g of potassium iodide, KI, dissolved

Troyanec [42]

Answer:

0.282 M

General Formulas and Concepts:

Chemistry - Solutions

Reading a Periodic Table
Using Dimensional Analysis
Molarity = moles of solute / liters of solution

Explanation:

Step 1: Define

5.85 g KI

0.125 L

Step 2: Identify Conversions

Molar Mass of K - 39.10 g/mol

Molar Mass of I - 126.90 g/mol

Molar Mass of KI - 39.10 + 126.90 = 166 g/mol

Step 3: Convert

$5.85 \ g \ KI(\frac{1 \ mol \ KI}{166 \ g \ KI} )$ = 0.035241 mol KI

Step 4: Find Molarity

M = 0.035241 mol KI / 0.125 L

M = 0.281928

Step 5: Check

We are given 3 sig figs. Follow sig fig rules and round.

0.281928 M ≈ 0.282 M
