Chemistry, calculating mass, mol and element mass?
« on: June 18, 2013, 09:08:06 AM »
Lets say i have this reaction:

CH3OH + O2 => CO2 + H2O

I start by balancing it to:

2CH3OH + 3O2 => 2CO2 + 4H2O

If we asume that i have 0,500g 2CH3OH, we can find this:

2CH3OH - n -> (0,01561) | M -> (32,023) | m -> 0,500

3O2 - M -> 31,998

2CO2 - M -> 28,011

4H2O - M -> 18,015

Now, i need to find n or m for the rest of the compounds, and i cant do that with just M, i need m or n, how do i find one more property to calculate the rest of the table?

You already listed m and n for methanol. Do you know how to read the reaction equation?

Well yes, i have the relation, but do i just use the relation to get n for the others?

If
2CH3OH - n -> (0,01561)

Then
4H2O - n -> (0,03122) ??

Yes. That's what the stoichiometry is about.
