I can't answer these, jenny....but....I believe that EP knows some Chemistry.....he will probably be on in a while.....
Thank you for attempting. I will wait for him this is very important. I wish i understood it
Hi Jenny, I cannot help either but I would like to suggest that you use a title like:
Chemistry - help needed please.
It is better when people use less generic titles.
I was taking a nap ! ZZZZZzzzzzZZZZZ Haha .....now I'm going for a run !
From the equation we can see that 3 moles of O2 are produced in the reaction
at STP , one mole of gas occupies 22.4 liters (remember that?....we'll need it shortly)
3 x 22.4 = 67.2 liters for the COMPLETE reaction in the equation......we are only going to get some fraction of this reaction because we are only using 212 gm of gold oxide
Au2O3 has a molar weight of 2( gold) + 3(oxygen) = 2(196.97 ) + 3 (15.999) = 441.937 gm (from periodic table)
we only have 212 gm of this stuff which represents 212/441.937 = .4797 moles of Au2O3
ONE MORE THING Look at the equation given: for every 2 moles of Au2O3 used , you GET 3 moles of 02
so you get 3/2 as much O2 in moles as moles of Au2O3 used .......THIS NEEDS TO BE CLEAR.....OK?
.4797 moles AuO3 x 3/2 = .71955 moles of O2 produced
Now remember earlier that an ideal gas at STP = 22.4 liters ???????
22.4 liters/mole X .71955 moles = 16.118 liters of O2 at STP
Ooops....didn'y answer all of the questions...
#2 2 moles of AuO3 produce 4 moles of Au
.4797 moles Au2O3 x 2 = .9594 moles Au produced
#3 85 grams of Au = 85/196.96 mole 1/2 as many moles Au2O3 is needed
85/196.96 x 1/2 = .4315 moles
we already found Au2O3 moles weigh 441.937 gm
.4315 mole x 441.937 gm/mole = 190.72 gms of Au2O3 are needed
Thank you so much for your help EP , the explanations have really helped. I appreactiate your help seriously. It has helped a TON! THANK YOU
