Directions: Solve problems fully.
A. Balance the following chemical equations.

1. P2H4 → PH3 + P4
= 6P2H4 → 8PH3 + P4
2. NO2 + H2O → HNO3 + NO
=3NO2 + H2O → 2HNO3 + NO
3. Na3PO4 + KOH → NaOH + K3PO4
=Na3PO4 + 3KOH → 3NaOH + K3PO4
4. C5H11OH + O2 → CO2 + H2O
=2C5H11OH + 15O2 → 10CO2 + 12H2O
5. KMnO4 + KI + H2�O4 → K2�O4 + MnSO4 + I2 + H2O

=2KMnO4 + 10KI + 8H2SO4 → 6K2SO4 + 2MnSO4 + 5I2 + 8H2O

B. Solve the following problems.

1. Iron metal reacts with chlorine gas. How many grams of FeCl3 are obtained when 1030 g
Cl2 reacts with excess Fe?

Fe(s) + Cl2(g) → FeCl3(s)

=2Fe(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2FeCl3(s)

2. The reaction of potassium superoxide, KO2 is used in life-support systems to replace
CO2(g) in expired air with O2(g). The chemical reaction is given as follows;

KO2(s) + CO2(g) → K2CO3(s) + O2(g)

= 4KO2(s) +2 CO2(g) → 2K2CO3(s) + 3O2(g)

a. How many moles of O2(g) are produced by the reaction of 156 g CO2(g) with excess
KO2(s)?

b. How many grams of KO2(s) are consumed per 100.0 g CO2(g) of removed from expired
air?

c. How many O2(g) molecules are produced per milligram of KO2(s)?

For every 4 moles of KO2, 3 moles of O2 are produced. So for 323.2 grams, there are 4.55
moles of KO2 producing 3.4125 moles of O2. That is 2.055 E24 molecules of O2. This is a ratio
of 6.35 E18 molecules per milligram.
