CHM 107 Recitation 5

Q1. Ethylene (C2H4), an important industrial organic chemical, can be prepared by heating
hexane (C6H14) at 800oC:
C6H14 → C2H4 + other products
If the yield of ethylene production is 42.5 percent, what mass of hexane must be reacted to
produce 481 g of ethylene?

Q2. When heated, lithium reacts with nitrogen to form lithium nitride:
6Li(s) + N2(g)→2Li3N(s)
What is the theoretical yield of Li3N in grams when 12.3 g of Li are heated with 33.6 g of N2?
If the actual yield of Li3N is 5.89 g, what is the percent yield of the reaction?
Q3. Industrially, nitric acid is produced by the Ostwald process represented by the following
equations:
4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) →4NO(g) + 6H2O(l)
2NO(g) + O2(g) →2NO2(g)
2NO2(g) + H2O(l) →HNO3(aq) + HNO2(aq)
What mass of NH3 (in g) must be used to produce 1.00 tonne of HNO3 by the above
procedure, assuming an 80 percent yield in each step?

Q4Calculate the concentration (in molarity) of a NaOH solution if 25.0 mL of the solution are
needed to neutralize 17.4 mL of a 0.312 M HCl solution.

Q5. Small quantities of hydrogen gas can be prepared by the following reaction:
Zn(s) + H2SO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + H2(g)
How many grams of H2 can be prepared from 25.0 mL of 6.00 M H2SO4 and excess zinc?
Q6. The Claus reactions, shown below, are used to generate elemental sulfur from hydrogen
sulfide.
2H2S + 3O2 → 2SO2 + 2H2O
SO2 + 2H2S →3S +2H2O
How much sulfur (in grams) is produced from 21.5 grams of O2?
