SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the grams of C2H2 and moles of O2 required to produce 0.005 moles of CO2 based on the reaction equation 2C2H2 + 5O2 -> 4CO2 + 2H2O. To find the mass of SO2, the user correctly identifies that the molar mass is 64 g/mol, but miscalculates the mass for 100 molecules. The correct approach involves using Avogadro's number to convert molecules to moles before calculating mass. Participants emphasize the importance of understanding stoichiometry and the relationship between moles and mass.

PREREQUISITES
  • Basic understanding of stoichiometry
  • Familiarity with chemical equations and molar mass calculations
  • Knowledge of Avogadro's number (6.022 x 10²³)
  • Ability to convert between moles and grams
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn how to balance chemical equations effectively
  • Study stoichiometric calculations in detail
  • Explore the concept of molar mass and its applications
  • Understand the use of Avogadro's number in chemical calculations
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and anyone involved in chemical calculations or stoichiometry will benefit from this discussion.

i got this equation:2c2h2+5o2->4co2+2h2o

how i Calculate how many grams of C2H2 and how many mol of O2 are Necessary to get 0.005 mol Gas CO2?

and tell me if i Right: to Calculate the mass ( in gr) of 100 Molecules SO2.
I did like this: the mass of SO2 is 64 gr/mol so 100 Molecules will have this mass:100*64? but i not sure i need to find the mass in gr

thanks.

Don't ignore capital letters in formulas.

Try to learn how to read reaction equation.

Remember - if you know number of moles, you can easily calculate mass and vice versa.

For mass of molecules you can either use amu, or take into account Avogadro's number.

Finally: post all homework, or homework type questions in appropriate forum, that is somewhere here.
