Solutions to Stoichiometry Problems

1a)  How many moles of chlorine gas (Cl2) would react with 5 moles of sodium (Na)
       according to the following chemical equation? (Balance equation.)

                                                  2Na + Cl2 --> 2NaCl

      [5 mol Na] [1 mol Cl2]  =  2.5 mol Cl2

                              [2 mol Na]

1b)  Using the equation (after it is balanced) above, determine the amount of product that  
       can be produced  from 24.7 g Na.  

        [24.7g Na] [1 mol Na] [2 mol NaCl] [58g NaCl   ]  =  62gNaCl
                         [23 g Na  ] [2 mol Na   ] [1 mol NaCl]

1c)  How many molecules of product would be produced from 24.7g Na?

       [24.7g Na] [1 mol Na] [2 mol NaCl] [6.023 E23 molecules NaCl]  =  6.5 E23 NaCl
                        [23 g Na  ] [2 mol Na   ] [1 mol NaCl   ]       molecules

2a)  In the reaction 2C8H18 + 25O2 --> 16CO2 + 18 H2O, the ratio of volumes of O2 to
       CO2 is        25:16  

2b)  If 27.3g of C8H18 are combusted, what mass of water will be produced?

        [27.3 g C8H18][1 mol C8H18 ][18 mol  H2O][18g H2O   ]   = 37.8 g H2O
                               [114g C8H18   ][2 mol C8H18][1 mol H2O]

2c)  How many molecules of CO2 will be produced?

[16 mol CO2 ] [6.02 E23 molecules CO2  ] = 9.6 E24

                       [1 mol CO2]                           molecules CO2

2d)  How many atoms of H are in 2 mol of C8H18?

   [2 mol C8H18] [6.02 E23 molecules C8H18] [18 atoms H         ]  =  2.2 E25 atoms 
                            [1 mol C8H18           ] [1 molecule C8H18]                       H
