Stoichiometry with Molarity and STP

The past is coming back to haunt us!
MOLARITY AND STP!
this is insane

Let us review what we know about molarity!
  • Molarity = moles/litres
  • We can also find
    • Litres = moles/Molarity
    • mole = Molarity x Litres
How about an example? Your negative response has not been heard!

Consider the following equation: Ca(OH)2 + 2 HCL --> CaCl2 + 2H2O
How many litres of 0.100M HCL would be required to react completely with 5.00g of Calcium Hydroxide?

1) Write a balanced equation (it is already balanced)
2) Create a map that gets you from grams of Ca(OH)2 to litres of HCL 
3) 5.00g Ca(OH)2  x  1 mol Ca(OH)2  x   2 mol HCL  =  0.0135 moles HCL
                                     74.1g Ca(OH)2   1 mol Ca(OH)2  
4) Now use the molarity equation to find the amount of litres required
            Litres = 0.0135 moles HCL
                                       0.100M
             Litres = 0.135 L of 0.100M HCL        

Now how about the STP?
Consider the following equation: 2 H2 + O2 --> 2 H2O
Calculate the volume of oxygen gas required to burn 250.0L of Hydrogen gas at STP.

250.0L H2  x  1 mol  x  1 mol O2  x  22.4L   = 125.0L O2
                        22.4L      2 mol H2  1 mol O2



Here is a game to aid you on your quest to conquer the past!
