2.

Terephthalic acid, an important raw material for making Dacron, a synthetic fibre, is made from para-xylene by the following reaction.

 

C8H10 + 3 O2 ------------------> C8H6O4 + 2 H2O
para-              special conditions    terephthalic
xylene                                                acid

3.

The chief process for converting iron ore, Fe2O3, into iron involves the combined action of coal and oxygen. Partial combustion of the carbon in coal give carbon monoxide.

 

2 C + O2 --------> 2 CO

 

In a series of steps, CO acts on Fe2O3, with the overall result

 

Fe2O3 + 3 CO -----------> 2 Fe + 3 CO2

 

(a) In an experiment done on a very small scale to test the efficiency of new approaches, a sample of 324 grams of Fe2O3 was converted into iron. How much iron, in theory, could form from this sample, in moles? In grams?

 

(b) The actual yield of iron in this test was 198 grams. What was the percentage yield?

4.

5.

Calculate how many grams of K2Cr2O7 are needed to make 35.8 grams of I2 according to the following equation.

 

K2Cr2O7 + 6 NaI + 7 H2SO4 ------>  Cr2(SO4)3 + 3 I2 + 7 H2O + 3 Na2SO4 + K2SO4

6.

The nitrite ion (NO2-) in potassium nitrite is changed to the nitrate ion by the action of potassium permanganate (KMnO4) in sulphuric acid solution.

 

5 KNO2 + 2 KMnO4 + 3 H2SO4 ------>  5 KNO3 + 2 MnSO4 + K2SO4 + 3 H2O

 

How many moles and how many grams of KMnO4 are needed to carry out this reaction on 11.4 grams of KNO2?

7.

If 2.56 grams of chlorine, Cl2, are to be used to prepare dichlorine heptoxide, Cl2O7, how many moles and how many grams of oxygen are needed?

8.

b) XeO3 does 59.8 grams represent?

 

c) water are needed to produce 59.8 grams of XeO3?

9.

How many grams of CO2 gas are released when a 50.0 grams sample of Na2CO3 that is 60.0 percent pure reacts completely with excess HCl?

 

Na2CO3(aq) + 2 HCl(aq) ------------> CO2(g) + H2O(l) + 2 NaCl(aq)

10.
