Performance Check # 1: (Module 3)

STOICHIOMETRY
(30 points)

I. Objectives:
To be able to predict the products formed from the given reactants; write a balanced
chemical equation for each reaction and solve problems involving stoichiometry.
II. Materials:
2 short glass bottle or drinking glass
1 tablespoon
1 small bottle vinegar
1 raw egg

III. Procedures:

1. Butane is typically used as fuel for cigarette lighters and portable stoves.
What substance is required for the complete burning of butane?
_______________________________________________________________

Balanced chemical equation:________________________________________

Calculation: If 25.3 g of butane was burned,

a. How many molecules of carbon dioxide are produced? (3 points)

b. What is the mass of water vapor obtained by heating butane? (3 points)

2. Put 5 tbsp. of vinegar (HC2H3O2) in a short glass bottle /drinking glass and drop
slowly 1 piece of rust-free small iron nail. Write your observation after 24 hours.

Result and observation:____________________________________________

Balanced chemical equation:________________________________________

 Calculation: Determine the volume, in gal, of HC2H3O2 that is needed
to produce 0.0716 lb. of hydrogen. The density of HC2H3O2 is 1.053 g/mL.
(5 points)

3. Carefully put a raw egg in a glass half-filled with vinegar. Replace the vinegar
on the second day. Place the glass with the vinegar and egg in a safe
place for 24 hours without disturbing it. (DO NOT BOIL AND EAT THE EGG)

Result and observation:__________________________________________

Balanced chemical equation:_______________________________________

Calculation: If 9.02 x 1025 molecules of vinegar (HC2H3O2) react with the

eggshell, calculate the masses (g) of calcium acetate and carbon dioxide that
will be produced in this reaction? (4 points each)
