Exam Review #20



20) Use stoichiometry to solve the following complex problems:


A.   If a sample of K2S is known to contain 8.418x1024 atoms of K, what mass of potassium sulfide is present?



8.418x1024 atoms K x          1 mol K           x  1 mol K2S x 110 mol K2S =  769 mol K2S
                                    6.022x1023 atoms K     2 mol K       1 mole K2S

B. How many chloride atoms can be found in 38.0L of CCl4 gas at STP?

38.0 L CCl4 x 1 mol CCL4 x   4 mol Cl x 6.022x1023 atoms Cl = 4.10 atoms CL
                       22.4 L CCl4   1 mol CCL4  1 mol Cl


C. If a sample of carbon monoxide gas has a volume of 20.8L at STP, how many grams of oxygen are present?

20.8L CO x 1 mol CO x 1 mol O  x 16.0g O = 14.9g O
                     22.4L CO    1 mol C     1 mol O

  2. Your answer to part b is a a little wonky. The process that you used looks correct however, it looks like you forgot to put your answer in scientific notation correctly. It should be 4.10 X 10^24 rather than just 4.10. Otherwise your post looks great.

  3. On a, I think this was just a little mistake, but you solved for grams properly but you just wrote moles. Other than that great job!

  4. Great work Gabby!
    I was a little confused with a, but then I read Will's comment, and when I looked back I do think you meant to put the molar mass instead of moles again.
    On part b I got 4.09x10^24, I think you may have just forgotten the x10^24 part. Over all very nice work!
