Question

Calcium carbonate decomposes at high temperatures to give calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What volume of CO2 will be collected at 950 torr and 500C when 75.0 g of CaCO3 react?

CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

How many mL of .250M KMnO4 are needed to react with 3.36g of FeSO4?

10FeSO4 + 2KMnO4 + 8H2SO4 -> 5Fe(SO4)3 + 2MnSO4 + 8H2O

Potassium chlorate reacts with hydrochloric acid to produce chlorine gas. What mass of KCLO3 is needed to make 4.50L of chlorine at 2.35 atm and 37.0C?

KClO3(g) + 6HCl(aq) -> KCl(aq) + 3Cl2(g) 3H20(l)

Explanation / Answer

1)

CaCO3(s) -> CaO(s) + CO2(g)

moles of CaCO3 = 75.0 / 100.087 = 0.749 mol

1 mol CaCO3 -----------> 1 mol CO2

0.749 mol CaCO3 ----------> ??

moles of CO2 = 0.749 mol

pressure = 950 torr = 1.25 atm

temperature = 500 oC = 773 K

P V = n R T

1.25 x V = 0.749 x 0.0821 x 773

V = 38.0

volume of CO2 = 38.0 L

3)

P V = n R T

2.35 x 4.50 = n x 0.0821 x 310

n = 0.4155

moles of Cl2 = 0.4155 mol

1 mol KClO3 ----------. 3 mol Cl2

??              ----------> 0.4155 mol Cl2

moles of KClO3 = 0.4155 / 3 = 0.1385

mass of KClO3 = 17.0 g
