II. Solve the following problems:

1. The octane in gasoline burns according to the following equation:
2 C8H18 + 25 O2 → 16 CO2 + 18 H2O

a. How many moles of O2 are needed to react fully with 6 moles of octane?

b. How many moles of CO2 can form from 0.5 mol of octane?

2. The removal of hydrogen sulfide from sour natural gas occurs by the reaction
2 H2S + SO2 → 3 S + 2 H2O

a. What mass of sulfur would be produced from 100 grams of hydrogen sulfide?

b. Determine the mass of water produced for every kilogram of sulfur dioxide used in the
process.

3. How many moles of NO can be produced by the reaction of 2.5 moles of NH3 with 3.5 moles of
O2 according to the balanced equation
4 NH3 + 5 O2 → 4 NO + 6 H2O

Which is the limiting reactant in this process?

4. When 22.0 g NaCl and 21.0 g H2SO4 are mixed and react according to the equation below, which
is the limiting reagent? What is the theoretical yield of sodium sulfate ?

2NaCl + H2SO4  Na2SO4 + 2HCl

5. Calculate
(a) the theoretical yield, and

(b) the percent yield, if 43.0 grams of liquid SO2Cl2 is produced from the reaction

of 26.0 g of gaseous SO2 with enough Cl2. Write the balanced equation for the

reaction.

calcium ion concentration in this solution?

10. A 20.00 mL sample of 0.1015 M nitric acid is introduced into a flask, and water is added until the
volume of the solution reaches 250. mL. What is the concentration of nitric acid in the final
solution?
