  1. Molar mass of Ba(OH)₂ = 137.33 (Ba) + 2 * 16 (O) + 2 * 1.01 (H) = 171.35 g/mol
  2. Moles of Ba(OH)₂ = mass / molar mass = 27.2g / 171.35 g/mol = 0.1587 mol
  3. Moles of N2O = Mass / molar mass = 22.8g / 18.02g/mol = 1.26526082 mol
  4. Mole ratio = moles of H₂O / moles of Ba(OH)₂ = 1.265 mol / 0.1587 mol = 7.97 ≈ 8

Limiting Reagents

The reactant that determines how much product will be formed

  • Exact stoichiometric amounts in chemicals are rare and impractical
    • In practice, there are limiting effects are not perfectly consistant
  • The reactant that gets used up first is called the Limiting reagent. You can only have one.
    • Remaining reactants are called excess reagents

1. Do 1.0 mol samples of different compounds all have the same mass? Explain your answer.

No, 1.0 mol samples of different compounds do not have the same mass. The mass of a sample depends on the molar mass of the compound, which varies depending on the elements in the compound and their quantities. Molar mass is the mass of 1.0 mol of a substance, and it differs from one compound to another.

2. Describe how chemists use mass as a way of getting a precise estimate of the number of entities in a sample.

Chemists use the mass of a sample and its molar mass to estimate the number of entities (atoms, molecules, or ions) in that sample. By dividing the mass of the sample by the molar mass, they can calculate the number of moles. Then, using Avogadro’s number (6.022 x 10²³ entities per mole), they can determine the number of individual entities in the sample.

3. Why is an amount, obtained using the equation n = always an estimate rather than an exact value?

The amount calculated using the equationis an estimate because the values used for mass and molar mass are subject to measurement uncertainty. The molar mass of a compound is an average, and the mass of a sample is typically measured with some degree of precision but not perfect accuracy.

To determine the mass of ammonium nitrate (NH₄NO₃) produced from 4.95 g of ammonia (NH₃) with 89.5% efficiency, we can follow these steps:

Balanced: HNO3 + NH3 NH4NO3

ratio: 1:1 ammonia to ammonium nitrate

Molar mass of NH3: 17.031g/mol
4.95g / 17.031g/mol = 0.2906464682 mol

Molar mass NH4NO3: 80.043g/mol

0.2906464682 mol * 80.043g/mol = 23.2642152541g

efficency

23.2642152541g * 0.895 = 20.8214726524 = 20.8g

To calculate the mass of sulfur (S) required to produce 50.0 g of hydrogen sulfide (H₂S) in the reaction, we need to consider the given reaction

CH₄(g) + 4S(g) → CS₂(g) + 2H₂S(g)

4S:H2S = 4:2 2:1 ratio of sulfur to hydrogen sulfide in this equation

M of S = 32.065
M of H2S = 34.082

Moles of H2S needed:
50.0/34.082 = 1.4670500557 moles

1.4670500557 * 2/1 = 2.9341001114 mol

2.9341001114 mol * 32.065 = 94.0819200720g


(given value) 94.0819200720g / 0.752% = 125.1089362660g = 125g

Therefore, you need 125g of sulfer to make 50g of H2S in the that reaction
