A sample of hydrogen peroxide formed from 11.1 g of hydrogen and 88.6 g of oxygen was calculated to be 11.1% hydrogen by mass. 3. A sample of iron oxide formed from a reaction of 111.7 g of iron and 100.0 g of oxygen, with 52.0 g of unreacted oxygen remaining, was determined to be 30.1% oxygen by mass.

    Law of Definite Proportions


    Solve for the appropriate value. Be sure to show your work and remember to use the correct
    number of significant figures.

    1. A 53.0 g sample of an unknown compound contains 13.5 g of oxygen. What is


    the percent by mass of oxygen in the unknown compound?

    13.5 g
    = 0.25471698 = 25.5 %
    53.0 g

    2. If 11.1 g of hydrogen reacts completely with 88.6 g of oxygen to form hydrogen


    peroxide, what is the percent by mass of hydrogen in hydrogen peroxide?

    hydrogen + oxygen => hydrogen peroxide


    11.1 g 88.6 g ?g

    11.1 g + 88.6 g = 99.7 g


    11.1 g 11.1 %
    = 0.11133400 =
    99.7 g

    3. A 111.7 g sample of iron reacts with 100.0 g of oxygen to form iron oxide (rust).
    After the reaction, there is 52.0 g of unreacted oxygen remaining. What is the percent by
    mass of oxygen in the rust?

    iron + oxygen => iron oxide (rust) + oxygen


    111.7 g 100.0 g ?g 52.0 g

    (111.7 g + 100.0 g) - 52.0 g = 159.7 g (this gives the total grams of rust)

    100.0 g - 52.0 g = 48.0 g (this gives the oxygen that actually went into the rust)
    48.0 g
    = 0.30056356 = 30.1 %
    159.7 g
    4. If a 43.0 g sample of carbon dioxide (CO2) is found to be 27.3% by mass carbon,
    then how much oxygen (in grams) is found in a 78.0 g sample of carbon dioxide?

    oxygen = 27.3 % (Sample 1)


    carbon dioxide

    oxygen = 27.3 % (2nd sample)


    78.0 g

    oxygen = 78.0 g · 27.3 % = 78.0 g · 0.273 = 21.294 g = 21.3 g

    5. A 57.6 g sample of methane (CH4) is found to contain 43.2 g of carbon. How


    much hydrogen (in grams) would a 37.8 g sample of methane contain?
    43.2 g carbon ? g carbon
    57.6 g methane = 37.8 g methane
    Sample 1 Sample 2

    Solving for above, Sample 2 has 28.35 g carbon.

    37.8 g methane - 28.35 g carbon = 9.45 g hydrogen
