CHEMISTRY | QN 01 | MOLE CONCEPT


What volume of water will be produced at room temperature and pressure when 2g of hydrogen is burnt in air?


  • Data:


    Mass of hydrogen gas (H2) = 2g
    Molar volume at room temperature and pressure = 24 dm3
    Asked: volume of water hydrogen
  • Chemical equation for the reaction.


    2H2(g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(L)
    Mole ratio 2:1:2
  • To convert 2g of H2 into moles then to relate


    Mole = mass/Molar mass
    = 2g / 2g/mole
    = 1 mole of H2

    Mole equivalent between H2 and water.
    2moles of H2 Ξ 2 moles of H2O
    1mole of H Ξ ?? of H2
    = (1 moles × 2 moles) / 2 moles
    = 1 mole of H2

  • To convert 1 mole of H2O into volume of water.


    Mole = volume / Molar volume
    Volume = mole × molar volume
    = 1 mole × 24dm3/mole
    = 24dm3

    24dm3 of water was produced at S.T.P.
