Stoichiometric Calculation (Numericals solution)

 Q1.    CaCO3 is often used to generate CO2 gas in industry. If 200 g of CaCO3 is strongly heated, what volume of CO2 gas will be obtained at 30°C and 1200 torr pressure? (KB- 2017)

             CaCO3      →    CaO         +      CO2

Solution

Calculation of moles of CaCO3

Molar mass of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100 gmol-1

Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 200/100 = 2 moles

 

Calculation of moles of CO2

                        CaCO3      →    CaO         +      CO2

                        (Given)                                    (Required)

                        1 mol ---------------------------> 1 mol

        2 mol --------------------------------> ?


According to unitary method


1 mole of CaCO3 gives 1 mole of CO2

2 moles of CaCO3 gives = 1/1 x 2 = 2 moles of CO2

 

Calculation of Volume of CO2

n = 2 mole

T = 30°C ----> 30  +  273 = 303 K [ ∴K = °C + 273]

P = 1200 torr ----> 1200/760 = 1.58 atm [ 1 atm = 760 torr]

R = 0.0821 atm-dm3-mole–1-K–1

V = ?

 

PV = nRT

V= nRT/P 

= 2 (mole) x 0.0821 (atm-dm3-mol−1-K−1) x 303(K)/1.58 (atm)

 = 31.49 dm3


Q2. What volume of CO2 gas measured at 20°C and 720 torr pressure will be produced by the reaction between 200 g of Na2CO3 and HCl? (KB- 2016)

Na2CO3  +  2HCl     2NaCl    +   CO2  +  H2O


Solution


Calculation of moles of Na2CO3

Molar mass of Na2CO3 = 46 + 12 + 48 = 106 gmol−1

Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 200/106 = 1.886 moles

 

Calculation of moles of CO2

 

Na2CO3       +  2HCl   → 2NaCl   +       CO2    +       H2O                     

(Given)                                                (Required)

1 mol ----------------------------------------> 1 mol

1.886  mol ----------------------> ?

 

According to unitary method

1 mole of Na2CO3 gives 1 mole of CO2

1.886 mole of Na2CO3 gives 1/1 x 1.886 = 1.886 mole of CO2

 

Calculation of Volume of CO2

n = 1.886 mole

T = 20°C ----> 20  +  273 = 293 K [ ∴K = °C + 273]

P = 720 torr ----> 720/760 = 0.947 atm [ ∴ 1 atm = 760 torr]

R = 0.0821 atm-dm3-mole–1-K–1

V = ?

 

PV = nRT

V= nRT/P 

= 1.886 (mole) x 0.0821 (atm-dm3-mol−1-K−1) x 293 (K)/0.947 (atm) 

= 47.90 dm3


Q3. 100 grams of KNO3 are heated to redness. What volume of oxygen at 39°C and 765 mm pressure will evolve? 2KNO3 → 2KNO2 + O2


Solution


Calculation of moles of KNO3

Molar mass of KNO3 = 39 + 14 + 48 = 101 gmol−1

Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 100/101 = 0.99 moles

 

Calculation of moles of O2


2KNO3 → 2KNO2 + O2

              (Given)                   (Required)

              2 mol ----------------> 1 mo

             0.99  mol ------------> ?


According to unitary method


1 mole of KNO3 gives 1 mole of O2

0.99 mole of KNO3 gives ½  x 0.99 = 0.495 mole of O2

 

Calculation of Volume of O2

n = 0.495 mole

T = 39°C ----> 39  +  273 = 312 K [ ∴K = °C + 273]

P = 765 torr ----> 765/760 = 1.006 atm [ ∴ 1 atm = 760 torr]

R = 0.0821 atm-dm3-mole–1-K–1

V = ?

 

PV = nRT

V= nRT/P 

= 0.495 (mole) x 0.0821 (atm-dm3-mol−1-K−1) x 29303 (K)/1.006 (atm) 

= 12.06 dm3


Q4. If 53.5 g of NH4Cl is heated with Ca(OH)2, how many grams of NH3 is produced? Also find the volume of NH3 at STP according to the following equation (KB- 2021)           

2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2  →2NH3 + CaCl2 +  2H2O

Solution

Calculation of moles of NH4Cl

Molar mass of NH4Cl = 14 + (4x1) + 35.5 = 53.5 gmol−1

Number of moles = mass/molar mass = 53.5/53.5 = 1.00 moles

            2NH4Cl + Ca(OH)2  →     2NH3          +   CaCl2    +    2H2O

            (Given)                        (Required)

            2 mol -------------------> 2 mol

            1 mol ------------------->  ?

According to unitary method

2 mol of NH4Cl gives 2 mol of NH3

1 mol of NH4Cl gives = 2/2 x 1 = 1 mol of NH3

Calculation of Mass of NH3

Mass of NH3 = n x molar mass = 1 x 14+3 = 1 x 17 = 17 g

Calculation of Volume of NH3 at STP

Volume of NH3 at STP = n x molar volume = 1 x 22.4 dm3 = 22.4 dm3

2.5 mol of Zn gives = 2.5 x 1 mol of ZnSO4 = 2.5 mol of ZnSO4

Calculation of Mass of ZnSO4

Mass of ZnSO4 = n x molar mass = 2.5 x (65.4 + 32 + 16 x 4) = 1 x 17 = 161.4 g

Calculation of moles of H2

According to unitary method

1 mol of Zn gives 1 mole of H2
