Homework 6 posted; due Friday 27 October Exam 2: Monday 30 October review day is Friday Moles suck the big one
`body parts example 2a : Weight moles first, then mol Octane = C8H18 How many moles of octane contain 24 grams of C (at. wt. = 12 g/mol)? Step 1) Convert grams C to moles C (all roads lead through moles divide up) Mol 24 g 12 g/mol C = 2 moles C
`body parts example 2a : (continued) Octane = C8H18 How many moles of octane contain 24 grams of C (at. wt. = 12 g/mol)? Step 2) 2 moles C => how many moles octane? 1 mol octane = x 8 mol C 2 (body parts relationship ?) x= 2/8=0.25 moles octane
Isohexane has the formula C6H14. How many moles of isohexane are formed with 24 grams of C (1 mol C=12 g) A. 0.333 moles isohexane B. 2 moles isohexane C. 0.1667 moles isohexane D. 3 moles isohexane E. Stoichiometry blows F. None of the above 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 0% 2 moles isohexane 3 moles isohexane 0.333 moles isohexane 0.1667 moles isohexane Stoichiometry blows F. None of the above
`body parts example 2b : Octane = C8H18 How many g of C (at. wt. = 12 g/mol) are in 0.09375 mol of octane ? Step 1) 8 C 1 mol octane 0.09375 (body parts relationship ?) = x x= 8*0.09375=0.75 mol C
`body parts example 2b(cont.)_ : Octane = C8H18 How many g of C (at. wt. = 12 g/mol) are in 0.09375 mol of octane ? Step 2) Multiply down (convert x=0.75 mol C g C) 0.75 mol *12 g/mol =9 grams C
The molecular formula for cocaine is C17H21NO4 and has a molecular mass of 303.4 g/mol. How many grams of O are in 0.03125 mol of cocaine. The atomic mass of O=16 g/mol 25% 25% 25% 25% A. 2.0 g B. 0.50 g C. 9.5 g D. 19.0 g 2.0 g 9.5 g 19.0 g 0.50 g
`body parts example 3a : Weight moles , then mol Octane = C8H18 (MW=114) How many grams of H are in 10 grams of Octane ? (1 mole H=1 g H) Step 1) Convert grams octane to moles octane All roads lead through moles; divide up Mol weight 10 g 114 g/mol = 0.0877 mol octane
`body parts example 3 : Weight moles , then mol Octane = C8H18 (MW=114) How many grams of H are in 10 grams of Octane ? (1 mole H=1 g H) Step 1) Convert grams octane to moles octane All roads lead through moles; divide up Mol weight 10 g 114 g/mol = 0.0877 mol octane
`body parts example 3 (continued) : Octane = C8H18 (MW=114) How many grams of H are in 10 grams of Octane ? (1 mole H=1 g H) Step 2) Relate moles H to moles octane (body parts relationship ?) 14 mol H = x 1 octane 0.0877 x= 14*0.0877=1.228 mol H
`body parts example 3 (continued) : Octane = C8H18 (MW=114) How many grams of H are in 10 grams of Octane ? (1 mole H=1 g H) Step 3) convert moles H to grams H (multiply down) 1.228 mol H * 1 g H/mol=1.228 mol H
