    2011 Stoichiometry Test MEMO

    Uploaded by

    Jackson Makgoleng
    This document provides a mastery test on moles and stoichiometry with 6 conversion problems and 3 stoichiometry calculation problems. In the conversions, students are asked to convert between units including mass and moles, concentrations, composition percentages, and heat of vaporization. In the stoichiometry problems, students must balance chemical equations and use mole ratios to calculate mass of products formed from a limiting reagent and composition percentages of products exiting a reactor given feed stream compositions and conversion percentage.

    MOLES & STOICHIOMETRY MASTERY TEST 2011

    Marks available: 30 marks


    Time available: 45 minutes

    Show all workings clearly. Answer in the spaces given on the test paper. If you need
    extra space use the blank page at the end of the paper and label the question(s) clearly.

    Use the data given in the attached unit conversion sheet.


    All answers are to be reported to the appropriate number of significant figures.
    Molar Masses: H = 1, C = 12, N = 14, O = 16, Na = 23, S = 32, Cl = 35.5, Ca = 40
    Unit conversion data: 1 cal = 4.1868 J

    1. Convert the following information to the units specified:


    a.A mass of 56 kg of CH4 to an amount in kgmol

    n =56 kg /16 kg/kgmol = 3.5 kgmol


    [2]
    b.An amount of 3.2 lbmol of H2 to mass in lbm

    m = 3.2 lbmol x 2 lb/lbmol = 6.4 lb


    [2]
    c. A concentration of 0.35 gmol/dm3 of an aqueous CaCO3 solution to kg/m3

    0.35 gmol/dm3 x 100 g/gmol x 1000 dm3/m3 x 1 kg / 1000 g = 35 kg/m3

    [3]
    d. A composition of a gaseous mixture of 62% H2 and 38% O2 to a composition by
    mass %
    Take 100 mol
    H2: 62 mol x 2 g/mol = 124 g; 9.3 %
    O2: 38 mol x 32 g/mol = 1216 g; 90.7 % = 91 %
    Total : 1340 g
    [2]
    e.A level of gas contamination of 3200 ppm to vol.%

    3200 ppm x 1% / 104 ppm = 0.32 %


    [2]

    f. The heat of vaporization of water, which is 41 kJ/gmol, to kJ/kg

    41 kJ/gmol x 1 gmol / 18 g x 1000 g / 1 kg = 2300 kJ/kg

    [3]

    2. Hydrogen sulphide (H2S) reacts with hypochlorous acid (HOCl) to form hydrogen
    chloride (HCl), sulphur and water. 17 kg of a 1.0 % solution of H2S reacts with an
    excess of pure HOCl. What mass of HCl is formed?
    Don’t forget to start with a BALANCED equation!

    H2S + HOCl → HCl + S + H2O

    m (H2S) = 0.01 x 17 kg = 0.17 kg = 170 g

    n (H2S) = 170 g / 34 g/mol = 5 mol

    One mole of H2S reacts to form 1 mol of HCl

    Hence n (HCl) = 5 mol

    m (HCl) = 5 mol x 36.5 g/mol = 182.5 g

    [6]
    3. As a 1st step in nitric acid production, ammonia is reacted with oxygen to form
    nitric oxide in the following reaction:
    4 NH3 + 5 O2(g)  4 NO + 6 H2O

    A 100.0 kmol/h gaseous feed stream containing 40.0% NH3 and 60.0% O2 enters
    the reactor. 80.0% conversion of the limiting reagent takes place. Calculate the
    mol % composition of the product stream which exits the reactor.

    40 kmol/h of NH3 would need 50 kmol/h of O2 to react but there are 60 kmol/h, hence O 2 is
    in excess and NH3 is limiting

    NH3 O2 NO H2O
    in 40 60 0 0
    reacting -0.8 x 40 = -32 -5/4 x 32 = -40 32 6/4 x 32 = 48
    out 8 20 32 48

    Total product stream = 108 kmol/h

    NH3: 8/108 x 100% = 7.4%


    O2: 20/108 x 100% = 18.5%
    NO: 32/108 x 100% = 29.6%
    H2O: 48/108 x 100% = 44.4%

    Check: sum of percentages = 99.9% ok, minor rounding error

    Marks allocated for correctness of significant figures: [2]
