Question

1. A gas has a volume of 140L at 37 ºC and 620 kpa pressure. Calculate its volume at STP.

Answer 1

Answer:

1. Volume as STP = 755 L

2. Outside temperature = 255 K

3. Percentage yield = 70.5%

Explanation:

1. At STP, pressure  = 101.3 kpa, temperature  = 0°C or 273.15 K

Using the general gas equation :

P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2

P1 = 620 kpa

V1 = 140 L

T1 = 37°C or (273.15 + 37) K = 310.15 K

P2 = 101.3 kpa

V2 = ?

T2 = 273.15 K

V2 = P1V1T2/P2T1

V2 = 620 × 140 × 273.15 / 101.3 × 310.15

V2 = 755 L

2. Using Charles' gas law:

V1/T1 = V2/T2

V1 = 2.5 L

T1 = 290 K

V2 = 2.2 L

T2 = ?

T2 = V2T1/VI

T2 = 2.2 × 290 / 2.5

T2 = 255 K

3. Equation of reaction : 2 Al + 3 CuSO4 ---> Al2 (SO4)3 + 3 Cu

From equation of the reaction,  2 moles of Al produces 3 moles of Cu

Molar mass of Al = 27 g; Molar mass of Cu = 63.5 g

2 moles of Al = 2 × 27 g = 54 g; 3 moles of Cu = 3× 63.5 = 190.5 g

54 g of Al produces 190.5 g of Cu

1.87 g of Al will produce 190.5/54 × 1.87 g of Cu = 6.60 g of Cu

Percentage yield = actual yield /theoretical yield × 100%

Percentage yield = 4.65/6.60 × 100%

Percentage yield = 70.5%
