What volume of product is produced when 20.0 Mg of liquid hydrogen reacts with

excess liquid oxygen in a rocket propellant reaction? The gas is formed at 101.325 kPa and 40˚ C

Respuesta :

Answer: The volume of product formed is 0.26 L

Explanation:

[tex]\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}\times{\text{Molar Mass}}[/tex]    

[tex]\text{Moles of} H_2=\frac{0.02g}{2g/mol}=0.01moles[/tex]

[tex]2H_2(l)+O_2(l)\rightarrow 2H_2O(g)[/tex]

As [tex]O_2[/tex] is the the excess reagent, [tex]H_2[/tex] is the limiting reagent as it limits the formation of product.

According to stoichiometry :

2 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] give = 2 moles of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

Thus 0.01 moles of [tex]H_2[/tex] will give =[tex]\frac{2}{2}\times 0.01=0.01moles[/tex]  of [tex]H_2O[/tex]

According to ideal gas equation:

[tex]PV=nRT[/tex]

P = pressure of gas = 101.325 kPa = 1 atm

V = Volume of gas = ?

n = number of moles = 0.01

R = gas constant =[tex]0.0821Latm/Kmol[/tex]

T =temperature =[tex]40^0C=(40+273)K=313K[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{nRT}{P}[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{0.01mol\times 0.0821L atm/K mol\times 313K}{1atm}=0.26L[/tex]

Thus the volume of product formed is 0.26 L
