9 What would be the total volume of gas produced by the action of heat on 33.1 g of lead(II)
nitrate ?
10 Magnesium reacts with sulphuric acid to produce a solution of magnesium sulphate. If this is
allowed to crystallise out the solid produced has the formula MgSO4.7H2O.
Write the equation for this reaction and calculate the mass of magnesium sulphate
heptahydrate that could be produced from 4 g of magnesium.
11 Copper(II) oxide reacts with sulphuric acid to produce copper(II) sulphate. If this is allowed
to crystallise the formula of the crystals is CuSO4.5H2O.
What mass of copper oxide would be needed to produce 100 g of crystals?
12 Sulphur dioxide can be removed from the waste gases of a power station by passing it
through a slurry of calcium hydroxide. The equation for this reaction is:
SO2(g) + Ca(OH)2(aq) → CaSO3(aq) + H2O(l)
What mass of calcium hydroxide would be needed to deal with 1000 dm3 of sulphur
dioxide?
13 In a fermentation reaction glucose is converted to alcohol and carbon dioxide according to
the following equation:
C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
What mass of alcohol and what volume of carbon dioxide would be produced from 10 g of
glucose?
14 In the following reactions calculate the mass of precipitate formed from 20 g of the metal
salt in each case.
(i) ZnSO4(aq) + 2NaOH → Zn(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
(ii) Al2(SO4)3(aq) + 6NaOH → 2 Al(OH)3(s) + 3Na2SO4(aq)
(iii) MgSO4(aq) + 2NaOH → Mg(OH)2(s) + Na2SO4(aq)
15 What volume of hydrogen would be produced by 1 g of calcium in its reaction with water?
16 What mass of magnesium would be needed to produce 100 cm3 of hydrogen?

17 Chlorine reacts with sodium hydroxide as follows:
Cl2(g) + 6NaOH(aq) → 5NaCl(aq) + NaClO3(aq) + 3H2O(l)
What mass of sodium chloride and what mass of sodium chlorate(V) be produced from
240 cm3 of chlorine gas?
18 When nitrogen reacts with hydrogen in the Haber Process only 17% of the nitrogen is
converted to ammonia. What volume of nitrogen and what volume of hydrogen would be
needed to produce 1 tonne of ammonia? (1 tonne = 1 x 106 g)
19 Nitric acid is produced by the following series of reactions:
4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 3H2O
4NO + O2 → 4NO2
4NO2 + O2 + 2H2O → 4HNO3
What mass of nitric acid would be produced from 17 tonnes of ammonia and what volume of
oxygen would be needed in the reaction?
20 Hardness in water is caused by dissolved calcium compounds. When heated some of these
break down and deposits calcium carbonate as follows:
Ca(HCO3)2 → CaCO3 + H2O + CO2
This builds up as ‘fur’ on the inside of boilers. It can be removed by reaction with
hydrochloric acid.
What mass of calcium carbonate would be produced from 10000 dm3 of water containing
0.356 g of calcium hydrogen carbonate per dm3 of water and what volume of 10 mol dm-3
hydrochloric acid solution would be needed to remove the solid calcium carbonate from the
inside of the boiler?

Exercise 9
Calculations based on equations involving only gases
Section a
In Section a. assume that you have 10 cm3 of the first named reactant and then calculate the
volumes of all the gases involved in the equation. In these examples the reactions are being
carried out at above 100°C and you should assume the water is present as a gas and therefore
has a volume.
1 CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O
2 C2H4 + 3O2 → 2CO2 + 2H2O
3 2C2H2 + 5O2 → 4CO2 + 2H2O
4 2C8H18 + 25O2 → 16CO2 + 18H2O
5 N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
