b.
   \(\ce{MM(C2H5OH) = 2 \times 12.0 + 6 \times 1.0 + 16.0 = 46.0\ \text{g mol}^{-1}}\)

\(\ce{n(C2H5OH) = \dfrac{5.85}{46.0} = 0.1272\ \text{mol}} \)

\(\ce{n(O2) = \dfrac{14.2}{32.0} = 0.444\ \text{mol}}\)

\(\text{Reaction ratio}\ \ \ce{C2H5OH : O2 = 1:3}\)

\(\Rightarrow \ce{n(O2)_{\text{required}} = 3 \times 0.1272 = 0.382\ \text{mol}\ \ (\ce{O2}\ \text{excess}) }\)

\(\ce{O2_{\text{(excess)}} = 0.444-0.382 = 0.062\ \text{mol}}\)

When concentrated sulfuric acid is added to dry sucrose, \(\ce{C12H22O11}\), a black residue of pure carbon is produced.

An equation for the reaction is

\(\ce{2C12H22O11(s)+ 2H2SO4(aq) + O2(g)\rightarrow  22C(s) + 2CO2(g) + 24H2O(g) + 2SO2(g)}\)

\(\text{Molar mass}\ \ce{(C12H22O11) = 342.0 \text{ g mol}^{–1}}\)

Show Worked Solution

\(MM(\ce{P2O5})=2(30.97)+5(16)=141.94\ \text{g\mol}\) 

\(n(\ce{P2O5})=\dfrac{1.42}{141.94}=0.01 \ \text{mol}\)

 \(n(\ce{H3PO4}) = 2 \times 0.01 = 0.02\ \text{mol}\)

 \(n(\ce{NaOH})\) for neutralisation \(= 3 \times 0.02 = 0.06\ \text{mol}\)

  •    \(V=\dfrac{n}{c}=\dfrac{0.06}{0.3}=0.2\ \text{L}\)

When charcoal reacts in the presence of oxygen, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide are produced according to the following chemical reactions.

\( \ce{C}(s) +\frac{1}{2} \ce{O}_2(g) \rightarrow \mathrm{CO}(g)\)

\(\ce{C}(s) +\ce{O2}(g) \rightarrow \ce{CO2}(g)\)

What would be the total mass of gas produced when 400 g of charcoal is reacted, assuming equal amounts are consumed in each reaction?

  1. 0.93 kg
  2. 1.2 kg
  3. 1.5 kg
  4. 2.5 kg
Show Answers Only

\(B\)

Show Worked Solution

\(n(\ce{C} (s))=\dfrac{400}{12.01}=33.3\ \text{mol}\)

  • 16.65 \(\text{mol}\) of charcoal goes into each reaction. Therefore 16.65 \(\text{mol}\) of \(\ce{CO}(g)\) and \(\ce{CO2}(g)\) are produced.
  •    \(m(\ce{CO})=16.65 \times 28.01 =466.4\ \text{g}\)
  •    \(m(\ce{CO2})=16.65 \times 44.01 =732.8\ \text{g}\)
  • Total mass produced = 1199.2 \(\text{g}\) = 1.2 \(\text{kg}\).

  • Total mass of the reactants 80 grams.
  • By the law of conservation of mass, the total mass of the products will be 80 grams.
  • Mass of soot \(=\dfrac{1}{5} \times 80 = 16\ \text{g}\)
