Solutions to Stoichiometry Problems


1a)  How many moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) would react with 5 moles of sodium (Na)
       according to the following chemical equation? (Balance equation.)

                                                  2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl

      [5 mol Na][1 mol Cl2 =  2.5 mol Cl2
                             
[2 mol Na]

1b)  Using the equation (after it is balanced) above, determine the amount of product that  
       can be produced  from 24.7 g Na.  

        [24.7g Na][1 mol Na][2 mol NaCl][58g NaCl   ]  =  62 g NaCl
                         [23 g Na  ][2 mol Na   ][1 mol NaCl]

1c)  How many molecules of product would be produced from 24.7g Na?

       [24.7g Na][1 mol Na][2 mol NaCl][6.023 E23 molecules NaCl   ]  =  6.5 E23 NaCl
                        [23 g Na  ][2 mol Na   ][1 mol NaCl                           ]       molecules

2a)  In the reaction 2C8H18 + 25O2 --> 16CO2 + 18 H2O, the ratio of volumes of O2 to
       CO2 is        25:16 
       

2b)  If 27.3g of C8H18 are combusted, what mass of water will be produced?

        [27.3 g C8H18][1 mol C8H18 ][18 mol  H2O][18g H2O   ]   = 37.8 g H2O
                               [114g C8H18   ][2 mol C8H18][1 mol H2O]

2c)  How many molecules of CO2 will be produced?

[27.3 g C8H18][1 mol C8H18 ][16mol CO2 ][6.023 E23 molecules CO2  ] = 1.15 E24
                       [114g C8H18   ][2 mol C8H18][1 mol CO2]                           molecules CO2

2d)  How many atoms of H are in 2 mol of C8H18?

       [2 mol C8H18][6.023 E23 molecules C8H18][18 atoms H            ]  =  2.2 E25 atoms 
                             [1 mol C8H18                                ][1 molecule C8H18  ]                       H

2e)  What is the percentage, by mass, of the H in 2 mol of C8H18?

 [2 mol C8H18][6.023 E23 molecules C8H18][114 amu   C8H18    ]  =  1.37 E26 amu
                       [1 mol C8H18                                ][1 molecule C8H18   ]                    C8H18 

[2.2 E25 atoms H][1amu H  ] = 2.2 E25 amu H
                            [1 atom H]

 2.2 E25 amu H   * 100 =   16% H 
1.37 E26 amu C8H18
