Calculating Pressure Change in Gaseous Reaction: CO2 and BaO

Click For Summary
SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on calculating the pressure change in a gaseous reaction involving carbon dioxide (CO2) and barium oxide (BaO). The initial conditions include a 5.00 L flask containing CO2 at 350 K and 3.00 atm pressure. The reaction BaO(s) + CO2(g) => BaCO3(s) was analyzed, leading to the calculation of the moles of CO2 and BaO, resulting in the determination of the final pressure after the reaction. The final pressure was derived using the ideal gas law, confirming the application of PV=nRT in this context.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of the Ideal Gas Law (PV=nRT)
  • Knowledge of stoichiometry in chemical reactions
  • Ability to calculate moles from mass and molar mass
  • Familiarity with basic thermodynamic principles
NEXT STEPS
  • Learn about the Ideal Gas Law applications in various chemical reactions
  • Study stoichiometric calculations in gas reactions
  • Explore the effects of temperature and pressure on gas behavior
  • Investigate the properties and reactions of barium compounds
USEFUL FOR

Chemistry students, educators, and professionals involved in chemical engineering or reaction kinetics will benefit from this discussion.

Homework Statement


A sample of CO2(g) is contained in a 5.00 L flask at 350 K and 3.00 atm pressure. When 30.66 g of BaO(s) was added to the flask, this reaction took place:
BaO(s) + CO2(g) => BaCO3(s)
Calculate the pressure in the the vessel after the reaction was complete. assume that the temperature is constant and the volume of the solid product is neglegible.

Homework Equations


PV=nRT

The Attempt at a Solution


First, I tried to find the number of moles of CO2
nCO2= PV/RT
nCO2= (3.00atm*5.00L)/ 0.0821*350K
nCO2= 0.522 mol CO2

Then, should I find the number of moles of the BaO?
nBaO= 30.66g/153.3g/mol of BaO =0.20 mol

Now, I stuck, what can I do with all variables that I found? Please help.

Looking at the reaction equation - how much CO2 reacted with 0.20 mol of BaO? How much CO2 was left?

Wow, I got the answer. Thank you so much!
