Mole Concept and Stoichiometry

From equation:

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{CO} & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{CO}_2 \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{ vol.} \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 V of CO requires = 1V of O₂

∴ 100 litres of CO requires = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ x 100 = 50 litres.

Hence, required volume of oxygen is 50 litres.

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{H}_2 & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{ vol.} \end{matrix}$

2 Vol. of hydrogen reacts with 1 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 200 cm³ of hydrogen reacts with = $\dfrac{1}{2}$ x 200 = 100 cm³ of oxygen.

Hence, unreacted oxygen is 150 - 100 = 50cm³

This experiment supports Gay-Lussac's law of combining volumes.

Since the unchanged oxygen is 58 cc so, used oxygen 106 - 58 = 48cc

According to Gay-Lussac's law, the volumes of gases reacting should be in a simple ratio.

$\begin{matrix} \text{CH}_4 & + & 2\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{CO}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ 24 \text{ cc} & : & 48 \text{ cc} \end{matrix}$

Hence, methane and oxygen are in the ratio 1:2 .

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_2 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 Vol. of C₂H₂ requires 5 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 400 ml C₂H₂ will require $\dfrac{5}{2}$ x 400

= 1000 ml of Oxygen

Hence, required volume of oxygen = 1000 ml

Similarly,

2 Vol. of C₂H₂ produces 4 Vol. of Carbon dioxide

∴ 400 ml of C₂H₂ produces $\dfrac{4}{2}$ x 400

= 800 ml of Carbon dioxide

Hence, carbon dioxide produced = 800 ml

$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2\text{S} & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} & + & \text{S} \\ 1\text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

(i) At STP,

1 mole gas occupies = 22.4 L.

1 mole H₂S gas produces = 2 moles HCl gas,

∴ 22.4 L H₂S gas produces

= 22.4 × 2

= 44.8 L HCl gas.

Hence, 112 cm³ H₂S gas will produce

= 112 × 2

= 224 cm³ HCl gas.

Hence, 224 cm³ HCl gas is produced.

(ii) 1 mole H₂S gas consumes = 1 mole Cl₂ gas.

Hence, 22.4 L H₂S gas consumes = 22.4 L Cl₂ gas at STP.

∴ 112 cm³ H₂S gas consumes = 112 cm³ Cl₂ gas.

120 cm³ - 112 cm³ = 8 cm³ Cl₂ gas remains unreacted.

Hence, the composition of the resulting mixture is 224 cm³ HCl gas + 8 cm³ Cl₂ gas.

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_6 & + & 7\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 7 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

2 Vol. of C₂H₆ requires 7 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 300 cc C₂H₆ will require $\dfrac{7}{2}$ x 300

= 1050 cc of Oxygen

Hence, unused oxygen = 1250 - 1050 = 200 cc

Similarly,

2 Vol. of C₂H₆ produces 4 Vol. of carbon dioxide

∴ 300 cc C₂H₆ produces $\dfrac{4}{2}$ x 300

= 600 cc of Carbon dioxide

Hence, carbon dioxide produced = 600 cc.

$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_2\text{H}_4 & + & 3\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{CO}_2 + 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 3 \text{ vol.} \\ 11 \text{ lit} & : & 33 \text{ lit} \end{matrix}$

Using the gas equation,

$\dfrac{P_{1}V_{1}}{T_{1}} = \dfrac{P_{2}V_{2}}{T_{2}}$

Substituting the values we get,

$\dfrac{760 \times x}{273} = \dfrac{380 \times 33}{546} \\[0.5em] x = \dfrac{380 \times 33 \times 273}{546 \times 760 } \\[0.5em] x = \dfrac{3,423,420}{414,960} \\ \\[0.5em] x = 8.25 \text{ lit}$

Hence, volume of oxygen required = 8.25 lit.

volume of HCl gas formed = ?

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol of methane produces = 2 Vol. HCl

∴ 40 ml of methane produces = 80 ml HCl

volume of chlorine gas required = ?

For 1 Vol of methane = 2V of Cl₂ required

∴ for 40 ml of methane = 40 x 2 = 80 ml of Cl₂ is required.

Hence, volume of HCl gas formed = 80 ml and chlorine gas required = 80 ml

Given, oxygen is 1⁄5^th of air = $\dfrac{1}{5}$ of 500 = 100 cm³

$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 3\text{CO}_2 & + & 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 3 \text{ vol.} & \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

5 Vol. of O₂ requires 1 Vol. of propane

∴ 100 cm³ of O₂ will require = $\dfrac{1}{5}$ x 100 = 20 cm³

Hence, propane burnt = 20 cm³ or 20 cc

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{NO} & + & \text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{NO}_2 \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. of O₂ reacts with = 2V of NO

200 cm³ oxygen will react with
= 200 × 2
= 400 cm³ of NO

∴ remaining NO is 450 - 400 = 50 cm³

NO₂ = ?

1 Vol. of O₂ produces 2 Vol. of NO₂

∴ 200 cm³ of oxygen produces = $\dfrac{2}{1}$ x 200 = 400cm³

Hence, NO₂ produced = 400 cm³ and unused oxygen is 50 cm³, so total mixture = 400 + 50 = 450 cm³

$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2 & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. of chlorine reacts with = 1 Vol. of hydrogen

∴ 4 litres of chlorine will react with only 4 litres of hydrogen,

hence, 6 - 4 = 2 litres of hydrogen will remain unreacted.

Since, vol. of HCl gas formed is twice that of chlorine used,

∴ vol.of HCl formed will be 4 x 2 = 8 litres However HCl dissolves in water.

Hence, 2 litres of hydrogen is the residual gas, as HCl formed dissolves in water.

$\begin{matrix} 4\text{NH}_3 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{NO} & + & 6\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 4 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

9 litres of reactants produces = 4 litres of NO

So, 27 litres of reactants will produces

$=\dfrac{4}{9} \times 27 \\[0.5em] = 12 \text{ litres}$

Hence, volume of nitrogen monoxide produced = 12 litres

According to Gay lussac's law,

$\begin{matrix} \text{H}_2 & + & \text{Cl}_2 & \longrightarrow & 2\text{HCl} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 1 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 2 \text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

As, 4 cm³ of hydrogen was left behind, hence, 36 - 4 = 32 cm³ of mixture of hydrogen and chlorine exploded.

As, 1 Vol. of hydrogen requires 1 Vol. of oxygen
∴ 16 cm³ hydrogen requires 16 cm³ of oxygen

∴ Mixture is 20 cm³ (i.e., 16 + 4) of hydrogen and 16 cm³ of chlorine.

$\begin{matrix} \text{CH}_4 & + & 2\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & \text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 2 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 1\text{ vol.} \\ 2\text{C}_2\text{H}_2 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 4\text{CO}_2 & + & 2\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 4\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

[By Gay Lussac's law]

1 Vol. CH₄ requires 2 Vol. of O₂

∴ 10 cm³ CH₄ will require 2 x 10

= 20 cm³ of O₂

Given, air contains 20% O₂ by volume.

Let $x$ volume of air contain 20 cm³ of O₂

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times x = 20 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{100}{20} \times 20 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 100 \text{ cm}^3$

∴ 20 cm³ O₂ is present in 100 cm³ of air.

Similarly, 2 Vol C₂H₂ requires 5 Vol. of oxygen

∴ 10 cm³ C₂H₂ will require $\dfrac{5}{2}$ x 10

= 25 cm³ of oxygen

Given, air contains 20% O₂ by volume

Let $x$ volume of air contain 25 cm³ of O₂

$\Rightarrow \dfrac{20}{100} \times x = 25 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = \dfrac{100}{20} \times 25 \\[1em] \Rightarrow x = 125 \text{ cm}^3$

∴ 25 cm³ O₂ is present in 125 cm³ of air.

Hence, total volume of air required is 100 + 125 = 225 cm³

Given, 10 litres of this mixture contains 60% propane and 40% butane. Hence, propane is 6 litres and butane is 4 litres

$\begin{matrix} \text{C}_3\text{H}_8 & + & 5\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 3\text{CO}_2 & + & 4\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 1 \text{ vol.} & : & 5 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 3\text{ vol.} \\ 2\text{C}_4\text{H}_{10} & + & 13\text{O}_2 & \longrightarrow & 8\text{CO}_2 & + & 10\text{H}_2\text{O} \\ 2 \text{ vol.} & : & 13 \text{ vol.} & \longrightarrow & 8\text{ vol.} \\ \end{matrix}$

1 Vol. C₃H₈ produces carbon dioxide = 3 Vol

So, 6 litres C₃H₈ will produce carbon dioxide = 3 x 6 = 18 litres

2 Vol. C₄H₁₀ produces carbon dioxide = 8 Vol

So, 4 litres C₄H₁₀ will produce carbon dioxide = $\dfrac{8}{2}$ x 4 = 16 litres

Hence, 34 (i.e., 18 + 16) litres of CO₂ is produced.

$\begin{matrix} 2\text{H}_2\text{O} & \longrightarrow & 2\text{H}_2 & + &\text{O} \\ 2\text{ Vol.} & & 2\text{ Vol.}& & 1\text{ Vol.} \end{matrix}$

2 Vol. of water gives 2 Vol. of H₂ and 1 Vol. of O₂

∴ If 2500 cm³ of H₂ is produced, volume of O₂ produced = $\dfrac{2500}{2}$ = 1250 cm³

(b) V₁ = 2500 cm³

P₁ = 1 atm = 760 mm

T₁ = T

T₂ = T

P₂ = [760 x 2 $\dfrac{1}{2}$] + [760] = 760 [$\dfrac{5}{2}$ + 1] = 760 x $\dfrac{7}{2}$ = 2660 mm

V₂ = ?

Using formula:

$\dfrac{\text{P}_1\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\dfrac{\text{P}_2\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

$\dfrac{760 \times 2500}{\text{T}}$ = $2660 \times \dfrac{\text{V}_2}{\text{T}}$

V₂ = $\dfrac{760 \times 2500 }{2660}$ = $\dfrac{5000}{7}$

(c) V₁ = $\dfrac{5000}{7}$ = 714.29 cm³

P₁ = P₂ = P

T₁ = T

V₂ = 2500 cm³

T₂ = ?

Using formula:

$\dfrac{\text{P}_1\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\dfrac{\text{P}_2\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

$\dfrac{\text{P} \times 714.29}{\text{T}}$ = $\dfrac{\text{P} \times 2500}{\text{T}_2}$

T₂ = $\dfrac{2500 }{714.29}$ x T

T₂ = 3.5 x T

Hence, T₂ = 3.5 times T or temperature should be increased by 3.5 times

Reason — According to Avogadro's law, equal volumes of all gases under similar conditions of temperature and pressure contain same number of molecules. If 20 lit of nitrogen contains x molecules then 20 lit of ammonia will also contain x molecules. As volume of chlorine is half that of nitrogen so it will contain half the number of molecules of nitrogen i.e., x/2. Similarly, sulphur dioxide will contain x/4 molecules.

(a) Given, 150 cc of gas A contains X molecules. According to Avogadro's law, 150 cc of gas B will also contain X molecules.

So, 75 cc of gas B will contain $\dfrac{x}{2}$ molecules.

(b) The problem is based on Avogadro's law.

= 251.8 ≈ 252 a.m.u.

(a) Number of molecules in 73 g of HCl —

Molecular wt. of any substance contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of HCl is 1 + 35.5 = 36.5 g

36.5 g of HCl contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

∴ 73 g of HCl contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 73 }{36.5}$

= 1.2 × 10²⁴ molecules

(b) Weight of 0.5 mole of O₂ —

1 mole of O₂ weighs = 2O = 2 x 16 = 32 g

∴ 0.5 moles will weigh = $\dfrac{32}{2}$ = 16 g

(c) Number of molecules in 1.8 g of H₂O —

Molecular wt. of any substance contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of H₂O is (2 x 1) + 16 = 2 + 16 = 18 g

18 g of H₂O contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

∴ 1.8 g of H₂O contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 1.8 }{18}$

= 6.02 × 10²² molecules

(d) Number of moles in 10 g of CaCO₃ —

∴ 10 g of CaCO₃ = $\dfrac{1 \times 10}{100}$

= 0.1 mole

1 mole of H₂ weighs = 2 g

∴ 0.2 moles will weigh = $\dfrac{2 \times 0.2}{1}$ = 0.4 g

(f) No. of molecules in 3.2 g of SO₂ —

Molecular wt. of any substance contain 6 × 10²³ molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of SO₂ is 32 + 2(16) = 32 + 32 = 64 g

64 g of SO₂ contains 6 × 10²³ molecules

∴ 3.2 g of SO₂ contains $\dfrac{6 \times 10^{23} \times 3.2 }{64}$

= 3 x 10²² molecules.

1 mole of CO₂

Reason —

Weight of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18 g

Weight of CO₂ = 12 + (2 x 16) = 12 + 32 = 44 g

Weight of NH₃ = 14 + (3 x 1) = 14 + 3 = 17 g

Weight of CO = 12 + 16 = 28 g

As weight of CO₂ is maximum, hence 1 mole of CO₂ will weigh the most.

4 g of NH₃

Reason —

(a) No. of molecules in 4 g of O₂

Molecular wt. of any substance contain 6.022 × 10²³ molecules.

Mass of 1 mole of O₂ is 2(16) = 32 g

32 g of O₂ contains 6.022 × 10²³ molecules

∴ 4 g of O₂ contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{32}$

= 7.5 x 10²² molecules.

Similarly,

(b) 4 g of NH₃ [14 + 3 = 17g ] contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{17}$

(c) 4 g of CO [12 + 16 = 28g ] contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{28}$

(d) 4 g of SO₂ [32 + 32 = 64g ] contains $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 4}{64}$

∴ 4g of NH₃ having minimum molecular mass contains maximum molecules.

Note : The fraction with lowest denominator gives the highest value. Hence, by observation we can say that 4 g of NH₃ has maximum number of molecules.

No. of particles in 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³

∴ No. of particles in 0.1 mole = $\dfrac{6.022 \times 10^{23} \times 0.1}{1}$

= 6.022 × 10²²

1 mole of H₂SO₄ contains (2 × 6.022 × 10²³) hydrogen atoms

∴ 22.4 litre (molar volume) has mass

= $\dfrac{12}{5.6}$ x 22.4

= 48 g

1 mole of SO₂ has volume = 22.4 litres

∴ 2 moles will have = 22.4 × 2 = 44.8 litre

Oxygen in 1 mole of CO₂ = 2O = (2 x 16) = 32 g

= 5.314 × 10^-23 g

(f) Atomic weight of calcium = 40 g

Gram atom = $\dfrac{\text{Mass of element}}{\text{Atomic mass}}$

= 2Na + S + 4O + 10(2H + O) = (2 x 23) + 32 + (4 x 16) + 10(2 + 16) = 46 + 32 + 64 + 180 = 322 g

∴ Mass of 0.1 mole of Na₂SO₄.10H₂O = 0.1 x 322 = 32.2 g

(c) Mass of 1 mole of CaCl₂

= Ca + 2Cl = 40 + (2 x 35.5) = 40 + 71 = 111 g

∴ Mass of 0.1 mole of CaCl₂ = 0.1 x 111 = 11.1 g

(d) Mass of 1 mole of Mg = 24 g

∴ Mass of 0.1 mole of Mg = 24 x 0.1 = 2.4 g

1 molecule of Na₂CO₃.10H₂O contains 13 atoms of oxygen

∴ 6.022 × 10²³ molecules (ie., 1 mole) has 13 × 6.022 × 10²³ atoms

∴ 0.1 mole will have atoms = 0.1 × 13 × 6.022 × 10²³

= 7.8 × 10²³ atoms

Atomic mass of Na = 23

So, a smaller mass of NaNO₃ is required.

(a) Given,

$\begin{matrix} \text{CaCO}_3 & + &2\text{HCl} & \longrightarrow & \text{CaCl}_2 & + \text{H}_2\text{O} + &\text{CO}_2 \\ 40 + 12 + 3(16) & & 2[1 + 35.5] & && & 1\text{ mole} \\ = 40 + 12 + 48 && = 73 \text{ g} \\ = 100 \text{ g} \\ \end{matrix}$

First convert the volume of carbon dioxide to STP:

V₁ = 2 L

T₁ = 27 + 273 K = 300 K

T₂ = 273 K

V₂ = ?

Using formula:

$\dfrac{\text{V}_1}{\text{T}_1}$ = $\dfrac{\text{V}_2}{\text{T}_2}$

Substituting in the formula,

$\dfrac{2}{300}$ = $\dfrac{\text{V}_2}{273}$

V₂ = $\dfrac{2}{300}$ x 273 = 1.82 L

As, 22.4 L of carbon dioxide is obtained using 100 g CaCO₃

∴ 1.82 L of carbon dioxide is obtained from $\dfrac{100}{22.4}$ x 1.82

= 8.125 g of CaCO₃

(b) Similarly, 22.4 L of carbon dioxide is obtained using 73 g of acid

∴ 1.82 L of carbon dioxide is obtained from $\dfrac{73}{22.4}$ x 1.82

= 5.93 g of acid
