Quiz #2 Chemistry for Engineers

1. Quicklime (CaO) is produced by the thermal decomposition of calcium carbonate (CaCO3).

Calculate the volume of CO2 produced at STP from the decomposition of 152 g of CaCO3
according to the reaction:

2. A sample of solid potassium chlorate (KClO3) was heated in a test tube Commented [p1]: 34.1 L of CO2 at STP
and decomposed according to the
following reaction:

The oxygen produced was collected by displacement of water at 22oC

at a total pressure of 754 torr. The volume of the gas collected was
0.650 L, and the vapor pressure of water at 22oC is 21 torr. Calculate
the partial pressure of O2 in the gas collected and the mass of KClO3 in
the sample that was decomposed. Commented [p2]: 0.964atm and 2.12 g

3. An unknown diatomic gas has a density of 3.164 g/L at STP. What is the identity of the gas? Commented [p3]: Cl2 gas

4. At a given pressure and temperature, it takes 4.85 min for a 1.5-L sample of He to effuse
through a membrane. How long does it take for 1.5 L of F2 to effuse under the same conditions? Commented [p4]: 14.95
