To convert from a given quantity of one reactant or product to the quantity of another...

To convert from a given quantity of one reactant or product to the quantity of another reactant or product:

First, convert the given quantity to moles. Use molar masses to convert masses to moles, and use Avogadro's number (6.02×1023 particles per mole) to convert number of particles to moles.

Next, convert moles of the given reactant or product to moles of the desired reactant or product using the coefficients of the balanced chemical equation. For example, in the chemical equation

2H2+O2→2H2O

the coefficients tell us that 2 mol of H2 reacts with 1 mol of O2 to produce 2 mol of H2O.

Finally, convert moles of the desired reactant or product back to the desired units. Again, use molar masses to convert from moles to masses, and use Avogadro's number to convert from moles to number of particles.

part A. How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 3.19 mol of N2 and excess H2.

part B. How many grams of H2 are needed to produce 14.94 g of NH3?

part C. How many molecules (not moles) of NH3 are produced from 3.33×10−4 g of H2?

2. When methane (CH4) burns, it reacts with oxygen gas to produce carbon dioxide and water. The unbalanced equation for this reaction is

CH4(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)

This type of reaction is referred to as a complete combustion reaction.

Part a. What mass of carbon dioxide is produced from the complete combustion of 2.00×10−3 g of methane?

Part b. What mass of water is produced from the complete combustion of 2.00×10−3 g of methane?

3. Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction:

2Al(s)+3Cl2(g)→2AlCl3(s)

Aluminum reacts with chlorine gas to form aluminum chloride via the following reaction:

2Al(s)+3Cl2(g)→2AlCl3(s)

Part a. What is the maximum mass of aluminum chloride that can be formed when reacting 31.0 g of aluminum with 36.0 g of chlorine?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

4.

Determine the balanced chemical equation for this reaction.

C8H18(g)+O2(g)→CO2(g)+H2O(g)

Enter the coefficients for each compound in order, separated by commas. For example, 1,2,3,4 would indicate one mole of C8H18, two moles of O2, three moles of CO2, and four moles of H2O.

5. 1.66 g H2 is allowed to react with 10.3 g N2, producing 1.62 g NH3.

Part A

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

You are given 31.0 g of aluminum and 36.0 g of chlorine gas.

Part B

What is the percent yield for this reaction under the given conditions?

Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.

15- Propane gas flows into a combustion chamber at a rate 250 L/min at 2.0 atmand ambient temperature. Air is added to the chamber at 1.0 atm and the same temperature. The gases are ignited.

a) To get complete combustion of the propane to carbon dioxide and water three times as much oxygen as is stoichiometrically appropriate is required. Assuming air is 21% oxygen and 79% nitrogen, calculate the required flow rate of air?

b )Under the conditions in part a, the combustion is not complete and a mixture of carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide is produced. It is determined that 94.0% of the carbon in the exhaust gas is present as carbon dioxide. The remainder is carbon monoxide. Calculate the percent composition of the exhaust gas in terms of mole fraction of CO, CO2 , O2 , N2 , and H2O. Assume the propane is completely reacted and the nitrogen is totally unreacted.

Can you please explain part B? I got 476.190 mL/min for part A.

Consider the titration of a weak base (B- ) with a strong acid (HCl). Draw (this can be hand drawn) a pH (not pOH) vs mL HCl graph (it will not look the same as the one in question #13; if you start with a weak base, will the pH be low or high? As H+ is added, will the pH increase or decrease?). Label the titration curve with letters A-E, and describe the relative quantities of the dissociated base (B- ) and its conjugate acid (HB), H+ and OHat each point throughout the titration (before the ½ equivalence point [A], at the ½ equivalence point [B], after the ½ equivalence point but before the equivalence point [C], at the equivalence point [D], and after the equivalence point [E]). Locate the position where pH = pKb on your graph.
