Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Gas Stoichiometry Stoichiometry and Volume-Volume Problems Coefficients in a balanced equation represent volume ratios for gases. • A balanced chemical equation allows you to find ratios for only moles and gas volumes, not for masses. • All masses given must be converted to moles or volumes before being used as part of a ratio. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Gas Stoichiometry Stoichiometry and Volume-Volume Problems Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Gas Stoichiometry VOLUME–VOLUME PROBLEMS SOLVE FOR THE UNKNOWN Use with Example Problem 7. Problem What volume of oxygen gas is needed for the complete combustion of 4.00 L of propane gas (C3H8)? Assume that pressure and temperature remain constant. Response • KNOWN UNKNOWN VC3H8= 4.00 L V02 = ? L Write the balanced equation. C3H8 (g) + 5 O2 (g) → 3 CO2 (g) + 4 H2O(g) • ANALYZE THE PROBLEM You are given the volume of a gaseous reactant in a chemical reaction. Remember that the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation provide the volume relationships of gaseous reactants and products. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Use the balanced equation for the combustion of C3H8. Find the volume ratio for O2 and C3H8, then solve for VO2. Find the volume ratio for O2 and C3H8 5 volumes O2 1 volume C3H8 • Multiply the known volume of C3H8 by the volume ratio to find the volume of O2. VO2 = (4.00 L C3H8) × 5 volumes O2 1 volume C3H8 = 20.0 L O2 Gas Stoichiometry VOLUME–VOLUME PROBLEMS EVALUATE THE ANSWER The coefficients in the combustion equation show that a much larger volume of O2 than C3H8 is used up in the reaction, which is in agreement with the calculated answer. The unit of the answer is liters, a unit of volume, and there are three significant figures. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education Gas Stoichiometry VOLUME–MASS PROBLEMS Use with Example Problem 8. Problem Ammonia is synthesized from hydrogen and nitrogen. N2(g) + 3 H2(g)→2NH3(g) If 5.00 L of nitrogen reacts completely with hydrogen at a pressure of 3.00 atm and a temperature of 298 K, how much ammonia, in grams, is produced? Response ANALYZE THE PROBLEM You are given the volume, pressure, and temperature of a gas sample. The mole and volume ratios of gaseous reactants and products are given by the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation. Volume can be converted to moles and thus related to mass by using molar mass and the ideal gas law. Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education KNOWN UNKNOWN VN2 = 5.00 L mNH3 = ? g P = 3.00 atm T = 298 K SOLVE FOR THE UNKNOWN Determine how many liters of gaseous ammonia will be made from 5.00 L of nitrogen gas. • Find the volume ratio for N2 and NH3 using the balanced equation. 1 volume N2 2 volumes NH3 • Multiply the known volume of N2 by the volume ratio to find the volume of NH3. 5.00 L N2 2 volumes NH3 = 10.0 L NH3 1 volume N2 Gas Stoichiometry VOLUME–MASS PROBLEMS • Find the molecular mass of NH3.

𝑃𝑉 𝑛= R𝑇 • Substitute P = 3.00 atm, VNH3 = 10.0 L, and T = 298 K. 3.00 atm (10.0 L) 𝑛= L ∙ atm (0.0821 298 K mol ∙ K • Multiply and divide numbers and units. M = 17.04 g/mol 𝑛= 3.00 atm (10.0 L) (0.0821 Copyright © McGraw-Hill Education L∙atm mol∙K 298 K = 1.23 mol NH3 Convert moles of ammonia to grams of ammonia. • Use the molar mass of ammonia as a conversion factor. • 1.23 mol NH3 × 17.04 g NH3 = 21.0 g NH3 1 mol NH3 EVALUATE THE ANSWER To check your answer, calculate the volume of reactant nitrogen at STP. Then, use molar volume and the mole ratio between N2 and NH3 to determine how many moles of NH3 were produced. The unit of the answer is grams, a unit of mass. There are three significant figures.
