Stoichiometry

  1. Diborane, B 2 H 6 , was once considered for use as a rocket fuel. The combustion reaction for diborane is: B 2 H 6 ( g ) + 3 O 2 ( g ) 2 H B O 2 ( g ) + 2 H 2 O ( l ) If we react 2,37 grams of diborane, how many grams of water would we expect to produce?
  2. Sodium azide is a commonly used compound in airbags. When triggered, it has the following reaction: 2 NaN 3 ( s ) 2 Na ( s ) + 3 N 2 ( g ) If 23,4 grams of sodium azide is used, how many moles of nitrogen gas would we expect to produce?
  3. Photosynthesis is a chemical reaction that is vital to the existence of life on Earth. During photosynthesis, plants and bacteria convert carbon dioxide gas, liquid water, and light into glucose ( C 6 H 12 O 6 ) and oxygen gas.
    1. Write down the equation for the photosynthesis reaction.
    2. Balance the equation.
    3. If 3 moles of carbon dioxide are used up in the photosynthesis reaction, what mass of glucose will be produced?

Summary

  • It is important to be able to quantify the changes that take place during a chemical reaction.
  • The mole (n) is a SI unit that is used to describe an amount of substance that contains the same number of particles as there are atoms in 12 g of carbon.
  • The number of particles in a mole is called the Avogadro constant and its value is 6 , 022 × 10 23 . These particles could be atoms, molecules or other particle units, depending on the substance.
  • The molar mass (M) is the mass of one mole of a substance and is measured in grams per mole or g · mol - 1 . The numerical value of an element's molar mass is the same as its relative atomic mass. For a compound, the molar mass has the same numerical value as the molecular mass of that compound.
  • The relationship between moles (n), mass in grams (m) and molar mass (M) is defined by the following equation:
    n = m M
  • In a balanced chemical equation, the number in front of the chemical symbols describes the mole ratio of the reactants and products.
  • The empirical formula of a compound is an expression of the relative number of each type of atom in the compound.
  • The molecular formula of a compound describes the actual number of atoms of each element in a molecule of the compound.
  • The formula of a substance can be used to calculate the percentage by mass that each element contributes to the compound.
  • The percentage composition of a substance can be used to deduce its chemical formula.
  • One mole of gas occupies a volume of 22,4 dm 3 .
  • The concentration of a solution can be calculated using the following equation,
    C = n V
    where C is the concentration (in mol · dm - 3 ), n is the number of moles of solute dissolved in the solution and V is the volume of the solution (in dm - 3 ).
  • Molarity is a measure of the concentration of a solution, and its units are mol · dm - 3 .
  • Stoichiometry is the calculation of the quantities of reactants and products in chemical reactions. It is also the numerical relationship between reactants and products.
  • The theoretical yield of a reaction is the maximum amount of product that we expect to get out of a reaction

why is communication effective
Dakolo Reply
Communication is effective because it allows individuals to share ideas, thoughts, and information with others.
effective communication can lead to improved outcomes in various settings, including personal relationships, business environments, and educational settings. By communicating effectively, individuals can negotiate effectively, solve problems collaboratively, and work towards common goals.

explain how nature and nurture affect the development and later the productivity of an individual.
Amesalu Reply
nature is an hereditary factor while nurture is an environmental factor which constitute an individual personality. so if an individual's parent has a deviant behavior and was also brought up in an deviant environment, observation of the behavior and the inborn trait we make the individual deviant.
