🔆 Stoichiometric Calculations G: Basic Question 7-18
Stoichiometry is a branch of chemistry that deals with the quantitative relationships that exist among the reactants and products in chemical reactions. To perform these calculations, we’ll use the chemical equation of the reactions, the periodic table, and some mathematical operations.
Let's Dive In!
First, let's recall the balanced equation for the combustion of ethane (Question 7):
2C2H6 (g) + 7O2 (g) → 6H2O (l) + 4CO2 (g)
📝 Reacting Ratios in Moles, Mass, and Volume
a) In terms of moles, the reaction shows that:
2 moles of C2H6 react with 7 moles of O2 to produce 6 moles of H2O and 4 moles of CO2.
b) The masses of reactants and products (in grams) can be calculated from their molar masses:
Ethane (C2H6): 2x[(2x12) + (6x1)] = 30g
Oxygen (O2): 7x[(2x16)] = 224g
Water (H2O): 6x[(2x1) + 16] = 108g
Carbon dioxide (CO2): 4x[(12) + (2x16)] = 176g
c) The volumes of gaseous reactants and products (in dm³) at Standard Temperature and Pressure (STP) can be calculated knowing that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 dm³ at STP.
Ethane (C2H6): 2x22.4 = 44.8 dm³
Oxygen (O2): 7x22.4 = 156.8 dm³
Water (H2O): Since it is in the liquid state at STP, its volume can be considered negligible.
Carbon dioxide (CO2): 4x22.4 = 89.6 dm³
🔍 Calculating Moles and Volumes from Given Reactants
From our balanced chemical equation, we know that 2 moles of ethane produce 6 moles of water (Question 7e). So, one mole of ethane would produce 3 moles of water.
For the volume calculations (Question 7f and g), using the ratios from our balanced chemical equation, we can see that 4.00 moles of ethane would require 314 dm³ of oxygen. And since air is 20% oxygen, the volume of air required would be 1570 dm³.
💡 Heat Released in a Chemical Reaction
Consider the reaction between hydrogen and oxygen to produce water, which releases 284 kJ/mol of H2 (Question 8).
a) If 180g of water is produced, the heat released can be calculated using the stoichiometric ratio from the balanced chemical equation and the molar mass of water. The heat released would be 2.84 x 10³ kJ.
b) Similarly, if 0.20 mole of hydrogen is used, the heat released would be 57 kJ.
