Topic : REACTING MASSES AND CHEMICAL EQUATION

Q.I) We can use equations and formula mass values to predict the amount of different substances that will
react together and the amount of the product formed.

In each of the following reaction begin by finding the formula mass values for each substance that
appears in the equation

1. CaCO3 + 2HCl CaCl2 + CO2 + H2O

Calcium Hydrochloric Calcium Carbon Water

Carbonate Acid Chloride Dioxide

______ ______ ______ ______ _____

This means that in a reaction __________________ g of Calcium Carbonate will react with ______________g

of Hydrochloric acid to form _______________ g of Calcium Chloride, _______________ g of Carbon Dioxide

and _______________ g of Water

2. How much Carbon dioxide will be produced if you start with10g of Calcium Carbonate ?

4. The reduction of copper(II) oxide by heating with carbon

2CuO(s) + C(s) ==> 2Cu(s) + CO2(g
(atomic masses Cu=64, O=16, C=12)

(a) In a copper smelter, how many tonne of carbon (charcoal, coke) is needed to make 16.00 tonne of copper?

(b) How many tonne of copper can be made from 800 tonne of copper oxide ore?

5. The neutralisation of sulfuric acid with sodium hydroxide.

2NaOH + H2SO4 ==> Na2SO4 + 2H2O
(atomic masses Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1, S = 32)

(a) calculate how much sodium hydroxide is needed to make 5.00g of sodium sulphate.

(b) calculate how much water is formed when 10g of sulphuric acid reacts with sodium hydroxide.

 6. The reduction of iron oxide ore in a furnace by heating with carbon
What mass of carbon is required to reduce 20.0 tonne of iron(III) oxide ore if carbon monoxide is formed
in the process as well as iron?

Fe2O3 + 3C ==> 2Fe + 3CO

(atomic masses: Fe = 56, O = 16)

7. A sample of magnetite iron ore contains 76% of the iron oxide compound Fe3O4 and 24% of waste
silicate minerals.
(a) What is the maximum theoretical mass of iron that can be extracted from each tonne (1000 kg) of
magnetite ore by carbon reduction? [ Atomic masses: Fe = 56, C = 12 and O = 16
The reduction equation is: Fe3O4 + 2C ==> 3Fe + 2CO2
