- How many moles of water are produced when 2 moles of hydrogen gas react with excess oxygen gas?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O
From the equation, we can see that 2 moles of hydrogen gas react to produce 2 moles of water. Therefore, when 2 moles of hydrogen gas react, 2 moles of water are produced.
- If 25 grams of methane (CH4) react with excess oxygen gas, what mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) will be produced?
The balanced chemical equation for the reaction is:
CH4 + 2O2 -> CO2 + 2H2O
From the equation, we can see that 1 mole of methane reacts to produce 1 mole of carbon dioxide. The molar mass of methane (CH4) is 16 g/mol, and the molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO2) is 44 g/mol.
First, we need to calculate the number of moles of methane:
Moles of CH4 = Mass of CH4 / Molar mass of CH4 Moles of CH4 = 25 g / 16 g/mol Moles of CH4 = 1.5625 mol
Since the stoichiometry of the reaction is 1:1 between methane and carbon dioxide, the number of moles of carbon dioxide produced will also be 1.5625 mol.
Now, we can calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced:
Mass of CO2 = Moles of CO2 * Molar mass of CO2 Mass of CO2 = 1.5625 mol * 44 g/mol Mass of CO2 = 68.75 g
Therefore, 68.75 grams of carbon dioxide will be produced.
- If the theoretical yield of a reaction is 50 grams and the actual yield is 40 grams, what is the percentage yield?
Percentage yield = (Actual yield / Theoretical yield) * 100 Percentage yield = (40 g / 50 g) * 100 Percentage yield = 80%
The percentage yield of the reaction is 80%.
- Calculate the atom economy of a reaction if the molar mass of the desired product is 100 g/mol and the molar mass of the reactant is 200 g/mol.
Atom economy = (Molar mass of desired product / Molar mass of reactant) * 100 Atom economy = (100 g/mol / 200 g/mol) * 100 Atom economy = 50%
The atom economy of the reaction is 50%.
