Practice Problems — Mass of One Species fg Mass of Another Species Show all work for each of the following questions. Begin with a balanced chemical equation if one is not provided. Be sure to include the formulas as part of your units in each step. Give your final answer with the correct number of significant figures. 1. The following reaction is exceptional in that a single reactant species is both oxidized and reduced: 2 KClO3(s) ➝ 2 KCl(s) + 3 O2(g). What mass of oxygen gas would be formed by the decomposition of 45.65 g of KClO3? (How should your answer compare to the mass of reactant? Does your answer make sense?)
2. This unbalanced equation shows one possible set of products for the reaction of aluminum and nitric acid: Al(s) + HNO3(aq) ➝ Al(NO3)3(aq) + H2(g). Use the balanced version of this equation to determine the mass of nitric acid required to form 170 kg of hydrogen gas.
3. Hydrogen gas can be used as a reducing agent in the production of pure boron from boron trichloride. How many moles of boron would form from the reduction of 500.0 g of boron trichloride with excess hydrogen gas? Equation:
4. Write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction between sodium metal and water. How many moles of hydrogen gas would form if 2 mol of sodium reacted with excess water? What volume would this gas occupy at STP conditions?
