Discussion Overview

The discussion revolves around a series of chemistry review questions and calculations in preparation for an upcoming exam. Participants seek assistance in verifying their calculations and understanding various concepts related to stoichiometry, gas laws, and solution concentrations.

Discussion Character

  • Homework-related
  • Technical explanation
  • Exploratory
  • Debate/contested

Main Points Raised

  • One participant presents a series of chemistry problems, including calculations for molecular formulas, gas volumes at STP, and molarity of solutions.
  • Participants discuss the calculation of molarity for a glucose solution, with one suggesting a formula for molarity and another confirming the calculation.
  • There is a discussion about balancing chemical equations, particularly the reaction of hydrogen and oxygen to produce water, with differing opinions on the use of whole numbers versus fractional coefficients.
  • One participant expresses uncertainty about calculating the number of moles of oxygen required to react with a given amount of hydrogen and seeks clarification.
  • Another participant provides corrections and hints for the calculations, including the correct stoichiometric relationships in the reactions discussed.
  • There are multiple calculations presented for the same problems, leading to different interpretations and results among participants.

Areas of Agreement / Disagreement

Participants generally agree on some calculations, such as the molarity of the glucose solution, but there are disagreements regarding the balancing of chemical equations and the interpretation of stoichiometric coefficients. Some calculations remain unresolved, and participants continue to seek clarification on specific points.

Contextual Notes

Some calculations contain errors or assumptions that are not explicitly stated, such as the use of incorrect molar masses or the application of gas laws without clear definitions of conditions. The discussion also reflects varying levels of understanding among participants regarding stoichiometry and solution preparation.

Who May Find This Useful

Students preparing for chemistry exams, educators looking for examples of student problem-solving, and individuals interested in chemistry calculations and concepts.

Hi, I have some reviw questions for the upcomming chemistry exam, the problem is I don't have the answers so can some one read through my work and check if it is wright? Thanks.

1. An anaysis of a valitile liquid showed that it wsa composed of 14.4%C, 2.37% H and 83.49% Cl. If 4.25 g of the liquid was vaporized and occupied 628 mL at 65 degrees celcuios and 112 kpa, what would be the molecular formula of the compund?
carbon
14.4% x 100g
= 14.4 g

m=14.4 g
n=1.199 mol
Mm=12.01 g/mol

hydrogen
2.37% x 100g
=2.37g

m=2.37 g
n=2.347mol
Mm=1.01 g/mol

Cholrine
83.49% x 100g
=83.49g

m=83.49 g
n=2.355mol
Mm=35.45 g/mol

so...

1.199 / 1.199 =1
2.37 / 1.1.99=2
2.355/ 1.199=2

Impirical Formula
C1 H2 Cl2

# mol of Impirical formula
PV=nrt
n=PV/rt
n=(112Kpa)(0.628L)/ 8.314kpaL/molL (388k)
n=0.025 mol

Molar mass of Impreical formula
Mm=m/n
Mm=4.25g/0.025 mol
Mm=170 g/mol

Molar mass of ( what is this the molar mass of?)
C1 H2 Cl2
84.93

Find a Factor

170g/mol/ 84.93 g/mol
=2

Molecular Formula
2(C1 H2 Cl2)

C2 H4 Cl4

You have almost already written the answer in your post, look again at the equation you written, i would just like to correct it however;

H_{2}_{(g)} + \frac{1}{2}O_{2}_{(g)} \rightarrow H_{2}O_{(l)}

Now, all the answers you need are in the above equation. :smile:

The teacher said we should only balance with whole nubbers so would it be

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O...?

moles of H
0.22 mol
sooo... moles of O is also 0.11mol?

c)calculate the number of moles of water produced when 4.00 g of oxygen are used

2H2 + O2 = 2H2O
2 : 1 = 2

oxygen
n=M/mm
n=4.00g/16.0
n=0.25mol

Water
0.25mol x 2
=0.5 mol

Are these ones right, and is everything elce right?

Thanks for your help!

Spot on.

If your teacher restricts you to using whole numbers, then yes that is correct, however using half a diatomic molecules is acceptable.

In you original post you said, 12.5 mols of hydrogen.

Yes, that's spot on! I'm afraid I haven't checked the other as I haven't really got time, my apologies; but if you check back later I'm sure someone will have obliged.
 
^ Oh, ok thanks for all your help!
