Hello
I have an important exam coming up soon and I would like to make sure my calculations are correct
Q1.
Calculate volume of carbon dioxide produced at STP(22.4L) when 640g of Fe2O3 reduced to Fe
2Fe2O3 + 3C =4Fe + 3CO2
My answer = 134.4 mol L of CO2 produced
Could you tell me if this is the correct answer please

Can you show your method and calculations?
Often laying the detail out is a useful aid for one to check one's own work.

Calculate volume of carbon dioxide produced at STP(22.4L) when 640g of Fe2O3 reduced to Fe
2Fe2O3 + 3C =4Fe + 3CO2
n=m/M
so n(Fe2O3) = 640g/160gmol= 4mol Fe2O3
mole ratio= 4mol(fe2O30 x 3mol(CO2)/2mol(Fe2O3)=6 mol(CO2)
V=n.Vm
so
6mol(CO2) x 22.4L= 134 mol L
My answer = 134.4 mol L of CO2 produced
Thanks

calculations are correct,
But you must remember to get your units correct.
volume of CO2 produced = n.Vm = 6 moles *22.4 (liter/mole) = 134.4 L and NOT 134.4 mol L

Hi yes sorry I forgot to cancel the L's

Q2.Find masses of H2O and CO2 produced when 32.2g C12H22O11 is burned with excess oxygen
C12H22O11 + O2 = CO2 + H2O
C12H22O11 + 12O2=12CO2 + 11H2O
n=m/M=> n(C12H22O11)=34.2g/342g mol-1= 0.1 mol C12H22O11
mole ratio
0.1 mol(C12H22O11) x 12 mol(CO2)/1 mol(C12H22O11) = 1.2 moles CO2
m=n.M
m(CO2)=1.2mol x 12g mol-1= 14.4g CO2
(12O2 mol=12CO2mol)
mole ratio
0.1mol(C12H22O11) x 11mol (H2O)/1 mol(C12H22O11)= 1.1 moles H2O
m=n.M
m(H2O)=1.1 mol x 18g mol-1= 19.8g H2O

Could you please check my question 2
I am not sure if the amount of CO2 is correct
but both masses add up to original 32.2g

Not quite correct. If you have 32.2g C12H22O11 why did you calculate for 34.2g in n=m/M=> n(C12H22O11)=34.2g/342g mol-1= 0.1 mol C12H22O11
-
sorry its 34.2g (not 32.2g)
Now is it correct ? :D
-
original = 34.2g
-
Can anybody tell me if my Q2 is correct?????

the approach and steps are correct.. just correct that 34.2 to 32.2 as has been mentioned and plug in the new values..
