For these problems : Assume that the reactions are being performed at a pressure of 1.0 atm and a temperature of 298K

1) Calcium carbonate decomposes at high temperatures to form carbon dioxide and calcium oxide: CaCO3 -> CO2+ CaO
How many grams of calcium carbonate will I need to form 3.45 liters of carbon dioxide?

2) Ethylene burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor: C2H4 + 3O2 -> 2CO2 + 2H2O, How many liters of water can be formed if 1.25 liters of ethylene are cosumed in this reaction?

1) Calcium carbonate decomposes at high temperatures to form carbon dioxide and calcium oxide: CaCO3 -> CO2+ CaO
How many grams of calcium carbonate will I need to form 3.45 liters of carbon dioxide?

since this rxn is done at rtp, molar vol of gases = 24L
moles of CO2= 3.45L/24L
=0.14375mol
mol ratio of CaCO3:CO2= 1:1
moles of CaCO3=0.14375mol
mass of CaCO3= 0.14375mol x 100 (mol wt of CaCO3)
= 14.375g

2) Ethylene burns in oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water vapor: C2H4 + 3O2 -> 2CO2 + 2H2O, How many liters of water can be formed if 1.25 liters of ethylene are cosumed in this reaction?

moles of C2H4 = 1.25L/24L
=0.052mol
mol ratio of C2H4:H2O=1:2
moles of water = 0.052 x2 = 0.104mol
vol of water= 0.104 x 24L=2.5L

1) x/(40 + 12 + 48) = 3.45/22.4
x/100 = 3.45/22.4
x = 15.4 g

2) x/36 = 1.25/28
x = 1.61 L before condensation
