Chapter 14, Problem 23CI

Interpretation Introduction

(a)

Interpretation:

The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The mole concept can be used to calculate the moles of products. We must check the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the reactant which form less amount of product as it determines the limit of product.

Interpretation Introduction

(b)

Interpretation:

The mass of carbon dioxide produced in the reaction needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

From the number of moles, mass of a substance can be calculated as follows:

  $m=n\times M$

Here, M is molar mass.

Interpretation Introduction

(c)

Interpretation:

The partial pressure of the reactant remains after the reaction needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The mole concept can be used to calculate the moles of products. We have to check the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the reactant which form less amount of product as it determines the limit of product.

From the number of moles, pressure can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here, V is volume, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

Interpretation Introduction

(d)

Interpretation:

The final pressure in the container needs to be determined.

Concept Introduction:

The mole concept can be used to calculate the moles of products. We must check the limiting reactant of the reaction. The limiting reactant is the reactant which form less amount of product as it determines the limit of product.

From the number of moles, pressure can be calculated from ideal gas equation as follows:

  $PV=nRT$

Here, V is volume, R is Universal gas constant and T is temperature.

The final pressure can be obtained from total number of moles or by adding the partial pressure of all the gaseous species present in the reaction mixture.
