Stoichiometry Problem/example No.1: Avogadro's Law of Combining Volumes
1. A sample of carbon dioxide gas has a volume of 55.0 mL at 45oC and 85.0
kPa. Determine the volume at STP and SATP.
What pressure will 37.18 grams of CO2 gas exert on a container at standard
2.
temperature?
3. Find the mass of 543 mL of acetylene gas, C2H2, collected at a pressure of
85.0 kPa and standard temperature.
4. What is the density of CO2 gas measured at 5oC and 200 kPa?
5. A sample of cooking gas, taken from a cylinder, was collected and its density
measured at 27oC and 100 kPa. The density at those conditions was 1.768
g/L. What was the molar mass of the cooking gas?
6. At STP, how many molecules of hydrogen are in 22.4 L?
Given 4.80 g of O2 gas and 2.80 g of N2 gas. Calculate for each of these
7.
samples:
(a) the number of moles
(b) the number of molecules
(c) the number of atoms
(d) the volume of each at STP and SATP
a) Balance: Fe+HCl>FeCl2+H2
and determine
The solution
a) Fe + 2HCl = FeCl2+H2
b) As we can see from the balanced equation (a) n(Fe) = n(FeCl2) , 10 moles of
FeCl2 was formed in the reaction
c) The balanced equation (a) tells us that n(HCl) = 2n(Fe) --> 20 moles of HCl was
used.
Insert 10mFe + HCl > FeCl2 + H2 in the unbalanced equation text field and press
push button Calculate
The solution
a) C5H12 + 8O2 = 5CO2 + 6H2O
8 times this amount (0.1386 moles C5H12) of oxygen was used -->
8*0.1386mole*32g/mole = 35.48grams O2
c) From (a) we know that 6 times more moles of water was formed than used pentane
(0.1386 moles)
