Question

1. Barium chloride and sodium sulfate react according to the following equation.
BaCl2 + Na2SO4 BaSO4 + 2NaCl
How many grams of barium sulfate can be produced from 23.2 g of barium chloride?

2.How many molecules of HCl are formed when 40.8 g of water reacts according to the following balanced reaction? Assume excess ICl3.

2 ICl3 + 3 H2O ICl + HIO3 + 5 HCl

3.The density of ethanol, C2H5OH, is 0.789 g/mL. How many milliliters of ethanol are needed to produce 59.5 g of CO2 according to the following chemical equation?

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

Explanation / Answer


1. BaCl2 + Na2SO4 BaSO4 + 2NaCl

1 mol BaCl2 = 1 mol Na2SO4

no of mol of barium chloride = w/M = 23.2/208.23

                   = 0.111 mol

Na2SO4 = excess reagent

no of mol of barium sulfate = 0.111 mol

amount of barium sulfate = n*M

         = 0.111*233.38

         = 25.9 g

2.

2 ICl3 + 3 H2O ICl + HIO3 + 5 HCl

2 mol ICl3 = 3 mol H2O

NO of mol of water = 40.8/18 = 2.267 mol

No of mol of HCl formed = 2.267*5/3 = 3.78 mol

No of molecules of HCl are formed = 3.78*6.023*10^23

                = 2.28*10^24 molecules

3.

C2H5OH(l) + 3 O2(g) 2 CO2(g) + 3 H2O(l)

No of mol of CO2 formed = 59.5/44 = 1.352 mol

No of mol of C2H5OH REQUIRED = 1.352*(1/2) = 0.676 mol

Amount of C2H5OH required = 0.676*46 = 31.1 g

volume of C2H5OH required = m/d

                  = 31.1/0.789

                  = 39.42 ml
