Stoichiometry is the ratio of reactants to products in a balanced chemical reaction equation.
the stoichiometry in this case of H₂ to O₂ is 2:1.
This means that 2 moles of H₂ reacts with 1 mol of O₂.
we have been asked to calculate the volume of H₂ gas.
Since both O₂ and H₂ are gases, at standard conditions its stated that molar volume of gases is 22.4 L
This means that at standard temperature and pressure, 1 mol of any gas occupies a volume of 22.4 L
first we need to calculate the number of O₂ moles reacted;
22.4 L of gas - 1 mol of O₂
1 L of gas - 1/22.4 mol/L
then 20 L of O₂ - 1/22.4 mol/L * 20 L = 0.89 mol
stoichiometry of H₂ to O₂ is 2:1
the number of H₂ moles = 0.89*2 = 1.79 mol
1 mol occupies 22.4 L
Therefore 1.79 mol = 22.4 L/mol * 1.79 mol = 40 L
Therefore it can be seen that stoichiometry applies to volumes as well.
volume of H₂ : O₂ = 40 L : 20 L = 2:1
volume and moles both can be determined by stoichiometry.
Volume of H₂ reacted = 40 L

The addition of hydrochloric acid to a silver nitrate solution precipitates silver chloride according to the reaction:

Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

Enthalpy change for the reaction is -67716 J/mol.

Explanation:

Number of moles of $AgNO_{3}$ in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of $AgNO_{3}$

= Number of moles of HCl in 50.0 mL of 0.100 M of HCl

= $\frac{0.100}{1000}\times 50.0$ moles

= 0.00500 moles

According to balanced equation, 1 mol of $AgNO_{3}$ reacts with 1 mol of HCl to form 1 mol of AgCl.

So, 0.00500 moles of $AgNO_{3}$ react with 0.00500 moles of HCl to form 0.00500 moles of AgCl

Total volume of solution = (50.0+50.0) mL = 100.0 mL

So, mass of solution = ( $100.0\times 1.00$ ) g = 100 g

Enthalpy change for the reaction = -(heat released during reaction)/(number of moles of AgCl formed)

= $\frac{-m_{solution}\times C_{solution}\times \Delta T_{solution}}{0.00500mol}$

= $\frac{-100g\times 4.18\frac{J}{g.^{0}\textrm{C}}\times [24.21-23.40]^{0}\textrm{C}}{0.00500mol}$

= -67716 J/mol

[m = mass, c = specific heat capacity, $\Delta T$ = change in temperature and negative sign is included as it is an exothermic reaction]

topjm [15]

Answer : The number of moles in 369 grams of calcium hydroxide is, 4.98 moles

Explanation : Given,

Mass of calcium hydroxide = 369 g

Molar mass of calcium hydroxide = 74.093 g/mole

Formula used :

$\text{Moles of calcium hydroxide}=\frac{\text{Mass of calcium hydroxide}}{\text{Molar mass of calcium hydroxide}}$
