Do not provide just a single number!). 44. (7 pts) Potassium superoxide, KO2, is used in re-breathing gas masks to generate oxygen according to the equation: 4 KO2 (s) + a. Balance the above equation; 4 KO2 (s) + H2O (l) 2 H2O (l) KOH (s) + O2 (g) 4 KOH (s) + 3 O2 (g) b. If a reaction vessel contains 0.25 mol of KO2 and 0.15 mol of H2O, find the following: i. The limiting reactant in the process; Answer: Examine separately the amounts of a product generated from KO2 and H2O individually. Since the next question is about the quantity of O2, let us choose O2 as the product to study: 1. Mol amount of O2 from KO2: 0.25 mol KO2 x (3 mol O2/4 mol KO2) = 0.19 mol O2 2. Mol amount of O2 from H2O: 0.15 mol H2O x (3 mol O2/2 mol H2O) = 0.22 mol O2 Therefore KO2 is the limiting reactant. ii. The theoretical yield of O2 (in grams!); Answer: In the previous part we found the theoretical yield of O2 in moles. All we have to do is convert it to grams: 0.19 mol O2 x (32.00 g O2/1 mol O2) = 6.1 g O2 iii. The excess amount of the reactant that is not the limiting one (in grams!); Answer: The other reactant, H2O, is in excess. Let us start with finding the amount of water consumed in the reaction: 0.25 mol KO2 x (2 mol H2O/4 mol KO2) x (18.02 g H2O/1 mol H2O) = 2.3 g H2O was consumed The total amount of H2O (in grams) is: 0.15 mol H2O x (18.02 g H2O/1 mol H2O) = 2.7 g Therefore the excess amount is: 2.7 – 2.3 = 0.4 g of H2O c. Suppose the process occurred with a 90% yield of oxygen. What was the actual yield of O2? Answer: It is based on the definition of percentage yield: 90% = (actual yield/theoretical yield) x 100 Therefore: Actual yield = (90 x 6.1)/100 = 5.5 g 45. (3 pts) BONUS PROBLEM (You do not have to solve this problem in order to get full credit. But in order to receive credit for this problem, it has to be solved entirely!!). Element X, a member of Group 5A, forms two chlorides XCl3 and XCl5. Reaction of an excess of Cl2 with 8.729 g of XCl3 yields 13.233 g of XCl5. What is the atomic mass and the identity of element X? Solution: We are given the quantities of XCl3 and XCl5 and, in addition, we can write the balanced chemical equation: XCl3 + Cl2 XCl5 According to that equation, the mole ratio is 1 mol XCl5/1 mol XCl3. We also need to realize that Molar Mass of XCl5 = (Molar Mass of XCl3 + Molar Mass Cl2) = (Molar Mass XCl3 + 70.90) = (Molecular weight XCl3 + 70.90) g/1 mol Let Molecular Weight XCl3 = M Then Molar Mass XCl3 = M g XCl3/1 mol and Molar mass XCl5 = (M + 70.90) g XCl5/1 mol According to the balanced chemical equation: 8.729 g XCl3 x 1 mol XCl3/M g XCl3 x 1 mol XCl5/1 mol XCl3 x (M + 70.90) g XCl5/1 mol XCl5 = 13.233 g XCl5 We have obtained an equation with one unknown. Solving for M we find: 8.729 x (M + 70.90)/M = 13.233 M = 137.41 Thus, the molecular weight of XCl3 is M = 137.41 amu The combined weight of three Cl atoms is 30.45 x 3 = 106.35 The weight of element X = 137.41 – 106.35 = 31.06 Element X is Phosphorous (P).
