    The document discusses stoichiometric calculations to determine the volumes of reactants and products in a chemical reaction involving carbon monoxide, methane, oxygen, and water. Equations are set up and solved to find that the volume of carbon monoxide is 5 mL, the volume of methane is 2 mL, and the volume of oxygen is 3 mL. An example problem is also presented to determine the composition of a gas mixture that is exploded and treated with potassium hydroxide.

    66 Modern Approach to Chemical Calculations

    moles of CO  2  moles of O2  2  moles of CO2  moles of H2O


    x  2  moles of O2  14  moles of H2O  (2)
    and 4  moles of CH4  2  moles of H2O  (3)
    4y  2  moles of H2O.
    From eqns. (2) and (3), we get
    x
    moles of O2  7  y    (used in explosion)
     2 
    Now, again we consider the reaction,
    CO  CH4  O2  CO2  H2O
    x moles y moles [7  y  x/2] moles 7 moles
     x
    or x mL y mL 7  y –  mL 7 mL
     2
    As given in the problem,
    volume of reactants – volume of products  65 mL
    volume of CO  CH4  O2  vol. of CO2 vol. of water  0  65 mL
    (N2 has not been included as it would be in both reactants and products)
     x
    x  y  7  y    7  65
     2
    x  4y  13.  (4)
    From eqns. (1) and (4), we get,
    x  5; y  2
     vol. of CO  5 mL

      vol. of CH4  2 mL

    Ex. 20. 10 mL of a mixture of CH4 , C2H4 and CO2 was exploded with excess of
    air. After explosion there was a contraction of 17 mL and after treatment with
    KOH, there was a further reduction of 14 mL. What was the composition of
    the mixture?
    Solution : In the explosion the reactant CO2 does not change, while CH4 and
    C2H4 change to CO2 and H2O. The volume of H2O is taken to be zero.
     vol. of CO2 in the reactant + CO2 produced  14 mL.
    Let the volume of CH4 and C2H4 in the mixture be respectively x and
    y mL.
     volume of CO2 in the mixture  10  x  y
    and vol. of CO2 produced on explosion  14  10  x  y
     4  x  y mL.
