Activity 4
Stoichiometric Calculations for Reactions in Solution

A. Directions: Write a balanced molecular equation describing each of the following chemical
reactions.( 5 points ) each number

1. Solid calcium carbonate is heated and decomposes to solid calcium oxide and carbon dioxide
gas.

2. Gaseous butane, C4H10, reacts with diatomic oxygen gas to yield gaseous carbon dioxide and
water vapor.

B. Solve the following: Show your solutions and box your final answer. (5 points) each number

1. Calculate the mass of hydrogen formed when 25 grams of aluminum reacts with excess
hydrochloric acid.
2Al + 6HCl → Al2Cl6 + 3H2

2. What mass of ZnCl2 can be prepared from the reaction of 3.27 grams of zinc with 3.30 grams of
HCl?
Zn +2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
