4. Iron in the form of fine wire burns in oxygen to form iron(III) oxide.

Fe(s) + 3O2(g) → 2Fe2O3(s)

a) How many moles of O2 are needed to produce 3.91 mol Fe2O3?

b) How many grams of Fe2O3 will be produced from 3.91 mol Fe?


First make sure equation is balanced

a) 3 mol O2 produces 2 mol Fe2O3

moles O2 = (3.91 mol Fe2O3) x (3 mol O2/2 mol Fe2O3) = 5.87 mol O2

b) 4 mol Fe produces 2 mol Fe2O3

moles Fe2O3 = (3.91 mol Fe) x (2 mol Fe2O3/4 mol Fe) = 1.96 mol Fe2O3

mass Fe2O3 = (1.96 mol Fe2O3) x (159.70 g Fe2O3/1 mol Fe2O3) = 313 g Fe2O3


5. Solutions of sodium hypochlorite, NaClO, are sold as bleach (such as Clorox). They are prepared by the reaction of chlorine with sodium hydroxide.

2NaOH(aq) + Cl2(g) → NaCl(aq) + NaClO(aq) + H2O(l)

If a chemist has 1.58 mol of NaOH in solution and 1.78 mol of Cl2 gas available to react, which is the limiting reactant? How many moles of NaClO could be obtained?
Make sure equation is balanced

2 mol NaOH produces 1 mol NaClO

1.58 mol NaOH produces (1.58 mol NaOH) x (1 mol NaClO/2 mol NaOH) = 0.790 mol NaClO
1 mol Cl2 produces 1 mol NaClO

1.78 mol Cl2 would produce 1.78 mol NaClO


NaOH produces less amount of NaClO

Implies NaOH is the limiting reactant and Cl2 is the excess reactant


Use mol limiting reactant to determine mol product

Moles NaClO = 0.790 mol NaClO


6. Methyl salicylate (oil of wintergreen) is prepared by heating salicylic acid, C7H6O3, with methanol, CH3OH.

C7H6O3 + CH3OH → C8H8O3 + H2O

In an experiment, 1.50 g of salicylic acid is reacted with 11.20 g of methanol. The yield of methyl salicylate, C8H8O3, is 1.31 g. What is the percent yield?
Make sure equation is balanced

Mol C7H6O3 = (1.50 g C7H6O3) x (1 mol C7H6O3/138.13 g C7H6O3) = 0.0109 mol

1 mol C7H6O3 produces 1 mol C8H8O3

Mol C8H8O3 = 0.0109 mol

Mol CH3OH = (11.20 g CH3OH) x (1 mol CH3OH/32.05 g CH3OH) = 0.3495 mol

1 mol CH3OH produces 1 mol C8H8O3

Mol C8H8O3 = 0.3495 mol
Implies limiting reactant is C7H6O3 (produces less mol product)
Use mol limiting reactant to determine mol product

Mol C8H8O3 = 0.0109 mol

Mass C8H8O3 = (0.0109 mol C8H8O3) x (152.16 g C8H8O3/1 mol C8H8O3)

= 1.66 g C8H8O3

= theoretical yield

% yield = (1.31 g/1.66 g) x 100% = 78.9 %

7. Lithium reacts with nitrogen according to the following reaction:

6Li + N2 → 2Li3N

A chemist reacts 12.5 g of Li with 34.1 g of N2. Which is the limiting reactant? If the actual yield is 14.7 g Li3N, what is the percent yield?
Make sure equation is balanced

Mol Li = (12.5 g Li) x (1 mol Li/6.94 g Li) = 1.80 mol

6 mol Li produces 2 mol Li3N

Mol Li3N = (1.80 mol Li) x (2 mol Li3N/6 mol Li) = 0.600 mol Li3N


Mol N2 = (34.1 g N2) x (1 mol N2/28.02 g N2) = 1.22 mol

1 mol N2 produces 2 mol Li3N

Mol Li3N = (1.22 mol N2) x (2 mol Li3N/1 mol N2) = 2.44 mol Li3N
Li produces less mol product

Implies Li is the limiting reactant and N2 is the excess reactant


Use mol limiting reactant to determine mol product

Mol Li3N = 0.600 mol

Mass Li3N = (0.600 mol Li3N) x (34.83 g Li3N/1 mol Li3N)

= 20.9 g Li3N

= theoretical yield

% yield = (14.7 g/20.9 g) x 100% = 70.3 %
