1.  Na + Cl2 --> NaCl (unbalanced) How many moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) would react with 5.0 moles of sodium (Na)        according to the following chemical equation?

Explanation

In the balanced equation, the stoichiometric ratio between sodium (Na) and chlorine gas (Cl2) is 2:1. This means that for every 2 moles of sodium, 1 mole of chlorine gas is required for complete reaction. Since we have 5.0 moles of sodium, we can calculate the moles of chlorine gas needed by dividing 5.0 by 2. This gives us 2.5 moles of chlorine gas as the answer.

An Easy Quiz On Stoichiometry - Quiz

Stoichiometry is the calculation that deals with the amount of reactants required and the amount of products formed during a chemical reaction. It is based on the Law... see moreof Conservation of Mass according to which the total mass before and after a chemical reaction remains undisturbed. The following quiz is an easy stoichiometry test. Balance all equations before solving. Good Luck! see less

2. Na + Cl2 --> NaCl (unbalanced) Using the equation (after it is balanced) above, determine the amount of product that          can be produced  from 24.7 g Na.  (in grams)

Explanation

First, balance the chemical equation: 2 sodium atoms react with 1 chlorine molecule to form 2 units of sodium chloride.

Next, find how many moles are in 24.7 grams of sodium by dividing the mass by sodium’s atomic weight (23 grams per mole).

Since the ratio of sodium to sodium chloride is 1 to 1 in the balanced equation, the moles of sodium chloride produced will be the same as sodium.

Finally, multiply the moles of sodium chloride by its molar mass (58.5 grams per mole) to get the mass of sodium chloride produced, which is about 62 grams.

3. Methane gas (CH4) gets burned in oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The balanced reaction is

Explanation

The balanced reaction for the combustion of methane gas in oxygen is CH4 + 2O2 --> CO2 + 2H2O. This equation shows that one molecule of methane reacts with two molecules of oxygen to produce one molecule of carbon dioxide and two molecules of water vapor. This balanced equation follows the law of conservation of mass, as the number of atoms of each element is the same on both sides of the equation.

Submit
4. NaOH   +   HCl   --> NaCl   +   H2O How many grams of NaOH will react with 36.5 g of HCl? ( in grams)

Explanation

In the balanced chemical equation, the coefficient of NaOH is 1, which means that 1 mole of NaOH reacts with 1 mole of HCl. To find the number of grams of NaOH that will react with 36.5 g of HCl, we need to convert the grams of HCl to moles using its molar mass (36.5 g/mol). Since the molar mass of NaOH is 40 g/mol, we can conclude that 36.5 g of HCl will react with 40 g of NaOH. Therefore, the correct answer is 40 grams.

Submit
5. CH4   +   O2  -->  CO2   +   2 H2O How many moles of O2 are required to burn 0.5 moles of CH4?

Explanation

In the given balanced chemical equation, the stoichiometric ratio between CH4 and O2 is 1:1. This means that for every 1 mole of CH4, 1 mole of O2 is required to completely burn it. Since we are given 0.5 moles of CH4, we can conclude that 0.5 moles of O2 is required to burn it. Therefore, the answer is 1 mole of O2.

Submit
6. How many moles of water is formed from the combustion of 5 moles of hydrogen gas in oxygen gas?

Explanation

The balanced equation for the combustion of hydrogen gas in oxygen gas is 2H2 + O2 → 2H2O. This means that for every 2 moles of hydrogen gas, 2 moles of water are formed. Since there are 5 moles of hydrogen gas, we can calculate that 5 moles of water are formed. Therefore, the answer is 5.

Submit
7. In the reaction C8H18 + O2 --> CO2 + H2O (unbalanced) If 27.3g of C8H18 are combusted, what mass of water will be produced?( in grams)

Explanation

When C8H18 is combusted, it reacts with O2 to produce CO2 and H2O. The balanced equation for this reaction is C8H18 + 12.5O2 -> 8CO2 + 9H2O. From the balanced equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of C8H18 combusted, 9 moles of H2O are produced. To find the mass of water produced, we need to convert the given mass of C8H18 to moles using its molar mass, then use the mole ratio from the balanced equation to find the moles of water produced, and finally convert the moles of water to grams using the molar mass of water. The correct answer is 37.8 grams.

Submit
8. In the decomposition of water to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, how many moles of water is needed to produce 10.0 moles of oxygen gas?

Explanation

To produce 10.0 moles of oxygen gas in the decomposition of water, 20.0 moles of water are needed. This is because the balanced chemical equation for the decomposition of water is 2H2O -> 2H2 + O2. From the equation, we can see that for every 2 moles of water, 1 mole of oxygen gas is produced. Therefore, to produce 10.0 moles of oxygen gas, we need twice that amount of water, which is 20.0 moles.

Submit
9. In the decomposition of water to hydrogen gas and oxygen gas, how many moles of water is needed to produce 32 grams of oxygen gas?

Explanation

To determine the number of moles of water needed to produce 32 grams of oxygen gas, we need to use the molar mass of oxygen. The molar mass of oxygen is 16 grams per mole. Since the molar ratio between water and oxygen gas is 2:1, we can calculate the number of moles of water by dividing the mass of oxygen gas by the molar mass of oxygen. Therefore, 32 grams of oxygen gas is equal to 2 moles of oxygen gas, which means that 2 moles of water are needed to produce 32 grams of oxygen gas.

Submit
10. Methane gas (CH4) gets burned in oxygen (O2) to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). If I burn 10 grams of methane, how many grams of CO2 will be produced?

Explanation

When methane gas (CH4) is burned in oxygen (O2), it reacts to form carbon dioxide (CO2) and water vapor (H2O). The balanced chemical equation for this reaction is:

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

From the equation, we can see that for every 1 mole of methane burned, 1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced. The molar mass of methane is 16.04 g/mol, and the molar mass of carbon dioxide is 44.01 g/mol.

To find the mass of carbon dioxide produced when 10 grams of methane is burned, we can use the molar mass ratio:

(10 g CH4) x (1 mol CH4 / 16.04 g CH4) x (1 mol CO2 / 1 mol CH4) x (44.01 g CO2 / 1 mol CO2) = 27.4 g CO2

Therefore, 27.4 grams of CO2 will be produced when 10 grams of methane is burned.
