Study Notes
Stoichiometry With Mass
- Stoichiometry problems involving mass require converting mass to moles, then converting between moles of different chemicals, and finally converting back to mass.
- The example problem involves a chef ordering buns for hot dogs, given 11 pounds of hot dog meat.
- The balanced reaction (recipe) is: 1 bun + 1 hot dog meat = 1 hot dog.
- The individual masses are:
- 1 bun = 0.1 pounds
- 1 hot dog = 0.125 pounds
- 1 hot dog with bun = 0.225 pounds
- To calculate the number of hot dogs, the conversion factor is the weight of one hot dog (0.125 pounds).
- The calculation is 11 pounds of hot dogs * (1 hot dog / 0.125 pounds) = 88 hot dogs.
- To calculate the number of buns needed, the conversion factor is the balanced reaction (1 hot dog : 1 bun).
- The calculation is 88 hot dogs * (1 bun / 1 hot dog) = 88 buns.
- To convert the number of buns to pounds, the conversion factor is the weight of one bun (0.1 pounds).
- The calculation is 88 buns * (0.1 pounds / 1 bun) = 8.8 pounds of buns.
Electrolysis of Water
- The electrolysis of water is a decomposition reaction where water breaks down into oxygen and hydrogen.
- The balanced equation is: 2H2O -> 2H2 + O2.
- To solve the problem of how many grams of oxygen are produced from 100 grams of water, you need to convert grams of water to moles of water, then moles of water to moles of oxygen, and finally moles of oxygen to grams of oxygen.
- The molar masses of the chemicals are:
- H2O = 18.02 g/mol
- H2 = 2.016 g/mol
- O2 = 32 g/mol
- The calculation for converting 100 grams of water to moles is: 100 grams of H2O * (1 mol H2O / 18.02 grams H2O) = 5.55 moles of H2O.
- The calculation for converting moles of water to moles of oxygen is: 5.55 moles of H2O * (1 mol O2 / 2 mol H2O) = 2.775 moles of O2.
- The calculation for converting moles of oxygen to grams is: 2.775 moles of O2 * (32 grams O2 / 1 mol O2) = 88.8 grams of O2.
- The final answer is 88.8 grams of oxygen.
- The answer is reasonable because it is less than 100 grams, which is expected as water decomposes into two products, and oxygen is heavier than hydrogen, so most of the mass should be in oxygen.
