Chemical Equations
C + O2 CO2
• Substances on left– Reactants– Starting materials
• Substances on right– Products
• + “and” “reacts to produce”
Chapter 6 3
Reading a Chemical Reaction
C(s) + O2(g) CO2(g)
• (s) solid
• (l) liquid
• (g) gas
• (aq) aqueous or in water
Chapter 6 4
Balancing Chemical Equations
• Must have the same number of each element on both sides of the equation
Chapter 6 5
Suggestions for Balancing Chemical Equations
1. If element occurs once on each side, balance first
2. Balance any reactants or products that exist as free elements last
– CANNOT change subscripts
– CANNOT add/delete products or reactants
Chapter 6 6
Example 6.1
Balance the following equation, which represents the chemical reaction involved when an airbag deploys:
Checking, we count two Na atoms and six N atoms on each side. The equation is balanced.
NaN3 N2 + Na
Solution
We can see initially that the sodium atoms are balanced, but the nitrogen atomsare not. For this sort of problem, we will use the concept of the least common multiple. There are three nitrogen atoms on the left (reactants side) and two on the right (products side). The least common multiple of 2 and 3 is 6. Therefore, we need three N2 and two NaN3:
We now have two sodium atoms on the left. We can get two on the right byplacing the coefficient 2 in front of Na:
2 NaN3 2 Na + 3 N2 (balanced)
Chapter 6 7
Example 6.1 (cont.)Exercise 6.1A
The reaction between hydrogen and nitrogen to give ammonia, called the Haber process, is typically the first step in the industrial production of fertilizer.Balance the following reaction for the Haber process:
H2 + N2 NH3
Exercise 6.1B
Iron ores such as Fe2O3 are smelted, by reaction with carbon, to produce metallic iron and carbon dioxide. Balance the following reaction:
Fe2O3 + C CO2 + Fe
Chapter 6 8
Example 6.2
When a fuel such as methane is burned in sufficient air, the products are carbon dioxide and water. Balance the following equation for this combustion:
CH4 + O2 CO2+ H2O (not balanced)
In this equation, oxygen appears in two different products and by itself in O2; we leave the oxygen for last and balance the other two elements first. Carbon isalready balanced, with one atom on each side of the equation. For hydrogen, the least common multiple of 2 and 4 is 4, and so we place the coefficient 2 infront of H2O to balance hydrogen. Now we have four hydrogen atoms on each side:
CH4 + O2 CO2 + 2 H2O (not balanced)
Solution
The equation is balanced. Generally, when you have a chemical species that only contains one type of element, it is easier to balance that element last.
Now for the oxygen. There are four oxygen atoms on the right. If we place a 2 in front of O2 on the left, the oxygen atoms balance.
CH4 + 2 O2 CO2 + 2 H2O (balanced)
Chapter 6 9
Does it takes more oxygen (per molecule) to burn butane than it does to burn methane? How much more CO2 is produced?
Butane is another common fuel. Balance the following equation describing the combustion of butane:
C4H10 + O2 CO2 + H2O
Exercise 6.2

Chapter 6 10
Avogadro’s Number• Number of carbon-12
atoms in a 12-g sample of carbon-12
• 6.022 x 1023
Chapter 6 11
Mole

• 1 mol H2O has how many moles of O? H?
Chapter 6 12
Formula Masses• Average mass of a formula unit relative
to that of a carbon-12 atom– C formula mass = 12.011– O formula mass = 15.9994

Example 6.4
Calculate the molecular mass of sulfur dioxide (SO2), an irritating gas formed when sulfur is burned.
Solution
We think about the problem in the following way. Add the atomic mass of sulfur to twice the atomic mass of oxygen.
Exercise 6.4
Calculate the formula mass of (a) C6H4Cl2 and (b) H3PO4.
1 x the atomic mass of S = 1 x 32.1u = 32.1u
2 x the atomic mass of O = 2 x 16.0 u = 32.0 u
Formula mass of SO2 = 64.1 u
Chapter 6 21
Example 6.5
Calculate the formula mass of sodium azide, NaN3, used in automobile airbags.
Exercise 6.5
Calculate the formula mass of (a) NaHCO3 (the main ingredient in baking soda) and (b) (NH4)2SO4 (a fertilizer commonly used by home gardeners). Remember, everything within the parentheses must be multiplied by 2.
Solution
To determine a formula mass, we add the atomic masses of the constituent elements:
1 x atomic mass of Na = 1 x 23.0 u = 23.0 u
3 x atomic mass of N = 3 x 14.0 u = 42.0 u
Formula mass of NaN3 = 65.0 u
Chapter 6 22
Example 6.6
How many grams of N2 are in 0.400 mol N2?
Solution
The molar mass of N2 is 28.0 g/mol. Therefore:
= 11.2 g N2
28.0 g N2
1mol N2
? g N2 = 0.400 mol N2 x
Calculate the mass, in grams, of (a) 55.5 mol H2O and (b) 55 mol uranium.
Exercise 6.6
Chapter 6 23
Example 6.7
Calculate the number of moles of NaN3 in a 10.0-g sample of the solid.
Solution
In this case we need the molar mass of NaN3. In Example 6.5 we calculated 65.0 u as the formula mass of NaN3. The molar mass is then 65.0 g/mol. To convert from a mass in grams to an amount in moles, we must use the inverse of the molar mass (1 mol NaN3/65.0 g NaN3) to get the proper cancellation of units. When we start with grams, we must have grams in the denominator of our conversion factor:
? mol NaN3 = 10.0 g NaN3 x = 0.154 mol NaN365 g NaN3
1 mol NaN3
Calculate the amount, in moles, of (a) 3.71 g Fe and (b) 165 g butane, C4H10.
Exercise 6.7

State the molecular, molar, and mass relationships indicated by the equation.
2 NO + O2 2 NO2
Solution
Molecular: Two molecules of NO react with one molecule of O2 to form two molecules of NO2.
Molar: 2 mol of NO react with 1 mol of O2 to form 2 mol of NO2.Mass: 60.0 g of NO react with 32.0 g of O2 to form 92.0 g of NO2.
State the molecular, molar, and mass relationships indicated by this equation.

Exercise 6.10
2 H2S + 3 O2 2 SO2 + 2 H2O
Chapter 6 25
Example 6.11
When 0.105 mol of propane is burned in a plentiful supply of oxygen, how many moles of oxygen is consumed?
C3H8 + 5 O2 3 CO2 + 4 H2O
Multiply the given quantity (0.105 mol C3H8) by the factor on the right to getan answer with the desired units (moles of oxygen):
5 mol O2
1 mol C3H8
? mol O2 = 0.105 mol C3H8 x = 0.525 mol O2
For the combustion of propane in Example 6.11: (a) How many moles of carbon dioxide is formed when 0.529 mol of C3H8 is burned? (b) How many moles of water is produced when 76.2 mol of C3H8 is burned? (c) How many moles of carbon dioxide is produced when 1.010 mol of O2 is consumed?
Exercise 6.11
Solution
The equation tells us that 5 mol O2 is required to burn 1 mol C3H8 . We can write
1 mol C3H8 5 mol O2
where we use the symbol to mean “is chemically equivalent to.” From this relationship we can construct conversion factors to relate moles of oxygento moles of propane. The possible conversion factors are
1 mol C3H8
5 mol O2
5 mol O2
1 mol C3H8
and
Chapter 6 26
Example 6.12
Calculate the mass of oxygen needed to react with 10.0 g of carbon in the reaction that forms carbon dioxide.
Solution
1. The balanced equation is
C + O2 CO2
2. The molar masses are 2 x 16.0 + 32.0 g/mol for O2 and 12.0 g/mol for C.
3. We convert the mass of the given substance, carbon, to an amount in moles:
? mol C = 10.0 g C x1 mol C
12.0 g C= 0.833 mol C
4. We use coefficients from the balanced equation to establish the stoichiometric factor that relates the amount of oxygen to that of carbon:
1 mol C0.833 mol C x
1 mol O2 = 0.833 mol O2
Chapter 6 27
5. We convert from moles of oxygen to grams of oxygen:
Example 6.12 (cont.)
We can also combine the five steps into a single setup. Note that the units in thedenominators of the conversion factors are chosen so that each cancels the unitin the numerator of the preceding term:
(The slightly different answers are due to rounding in the intermediate steps.)
Exercise 6.12A
Calculate the mass of oxygen (O2) needed to react with 0.334 g of nitrogen (N2) in the reaction that forms nitrogen dioxide.
Exercise 6.12B
Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide formed by burning 775 g of each of (a) methane (CH4) and (b) butane (C4H10 ). Assume excess oxygen is available.
0.833 mol O2 x32.0 g O2
1 mol O2
= 26.7 g O2
Chapter 6 28
Example 6.13
The decomposition of sodium azide produces nitrogen gas that is used to inflate automobile airbags. What mass of nitrogen, in grams, can be made from 60.0 g of sodium azide?
Solution
1. We start by writing the balanced chemical equation, which we did in Example 6.1:
2 NaN3 2 Na + 3 N2
2. The molar mass of NaN3 is 65.0 g/mol and the molar mass of N2 is 2 x 14.0 = 28.0 g/mol.
3. We convert the mass of the given substance, sodium azide, to an amount in moles:
60.0 g NaN3 x1 mol NaN3
65.0 g NaN3
= 0.923 mol NaN3
4. We use coefficients from the balanced equation to establish the stoichiometric factor that relates the amount of nitrogen gas to that of sodium azide:
0.923 mol NaN3 x3 mol N2
2 mol NaN3
= 138 mol N2
Chapter 6 29
5. We convert from moles of nitrogen gas to grams of nitrogen gas:
1.38 mol N2 x28.0 g N2
1 mol N2
= 38.6 g N2
Example 6.13 (cont.)
As is usually the case, all of the steps outlined above can be combined into a single setup:
60.0 g NaN3 x1 mol NaN3
65.0 g NaN3
x3 mol N2
2 mol NaN3
x28.0 g N2
1 mol N2
= 38.8 g N2
Notice that the units of the numerator in one stoichiometric factor are the units in the denominator of the next stoichiometric factor. In this way, the correct cancellation of units occurs and the units of the final numerator are the units of your answer.

use percent by volume
Chapter 6 35
• Percent by mass is commonly used for commercial solutions– 35.0% HCl means 35.0 g HCl for every
100.0 g of solution
Chapter 6 36
• Note the differences between mass percent, percent by volume, and molarity– 10% HCl solution is considerably different
than 10 M HCl– Require different amounts of HCl
Chapter 6 37
Example 6.18 Calculate the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 3.50 mol of NaCl in enough water to produce 2.00 L of solution.

Chapter 6 38
Example 6.19
What is the molarity of a solution in which 333 g of potassium hydrogen carbonate is dissolved in enough water to make 10.0 L of solution?
Now use this value as the numerator in the defining equation for molarity. The solution volume, 10.0 L, is the denominator:
molarity x 3.33 mol KHCO3
10.0 L solution= .333 M KHCO3
Exercise 6.19
Calculate the molarity of each of the following solutions:
a. 18.0 mol of H2SO4 in 2.00 L of solution
b. 3.00 mol of KI in 2.39 L of solution
c. 0.206 mol of HF in 752 mL of solution. (HF is used for etching glass.)
Solution
First, prepare a setup to convert from mass of KHCO3 to moles of KHCO3:
333 g KHCO3 x 1 mol KHCO3
100.1 g KHCO3
= 3.33 g KHCO3

b. 100.0 mL of 1.00 M KOH
Solution
First we calculate the moles of NaCl:
15 mol NaCl0.500 L solution x
1 L solution= 0.075 mol NaCl
Then we use the molar mass to calculate the grams of NaCl:
58.4 g NaCl0.075 mol NaCl x
1 mol NaCl= 4.4 g NaCl

Example 6.21 Concentrated hydrochloric acid has a concentration of 12.0 M HCl. How many milliliters of this solution would one need to get 0.425 mol of HCl?
Solution
liters of HCl solution =moles of solute
molarity0.425 mol HCl
12.0 M HCl
0.425 mol HCl
12.0 mol HCl/L= 0.0354 L=
We would need 0.0354 L (35.4 mL) of the solution to have 0.425 mol. Remember that molarity is moles per liter of solution, not per liter of solvent.

Example 6.3
What volume of oxygen is required to burn 0.556 L of propane C3H8 if both gases are measured at the same temperature and pressure?
C3H8(g) + 5 O2(g) 3 CO2(g) + 4 H2O(g)
Solution
The coefficients in the equation indicate that five volumes of O2(g) is required for every volume of C3H8(g). Thus, we use 5 L O2(g)/1 L C3H8(g) as the ratio to find the volume of oxygen required.
Exercise 6.3
Using the equation in Example 6.3, calculate the volume of CO2(g) produced when 0.492 L of propane is burned if the two gases are compared at the same temperature and pressure.

Example 6.14
A gas is enclosed in a cylinder fitted with a piston. The volume of the gas is 2.00 L at 0.524 atm. The piston is moved to increase the gas pressure to 5.15 atm. Which of the following is a reasonable value for the volume of the gas at the greater pressure?
0.20 L 0.40 L 1.00 L 16.0 LSolution
The pressure increase is almost 10-fold. The volume should drop to about one-tenth of the initial value. We estimate a volume of 0.20 L. (The calculated value is 0.203 L.)
Exercise 6.14
A gas is enclosed in a 10.2-L tank at 1208 mmHg. Which of the following is a reasonable value for the pressure when the gas is transferred to a 30.0-L tank?

Chapter 6 60
Example 6.15
A cylinder of oxygen has a volume of 2.25 L. The pressure of the gas is 1470pounds per square inch (psi) at 20°C. What volume will the oxygen occupy atstandard atmospheric pressure (14.7 psi) assuming no temperature change?
Solution
It is most helpful to first separate the initial from the final condition:
Because the final pressure in Example 6.15 is less than the initial pressure, we expect the final volume to be larger than the original volume, and it is.
Then use the equation V1P1 = V2P2 and solve for the desired volume or pressure. In this case, we solve for V2 :
V1P1V2 = P2
2.25 L x 1470 psiV2 = 14.7 psi
= 225 L

Example 6.16
A balloon indoors, where the temperature is 27°C, has a volume of 2.00 L. What would its volume be (a) outdoors, where the temperature is –23°C and (b) in a hot car parked in the sun where the temperature is 47°C? (Assume no change in pressure in either case.)
Solution
First, convert all temperatures to the Kelvin scale:
T(K) = T (°C) + 273
The initial temperature is (27 + 273) = 300 K, and the final temperatures are (a) (–23 + 273) = 250 K and (b) (47 + 273) = 320 K.

As we expected, the volume decreased because the temperature decreased.
b. We have the same initial conditions as in (a), but different final conditions:
Exercise 6.16Aa. A sample of oxygen gas occupies a volume of 2.10 L at 25°C. What volume will this sample occupy at 150°C? (Assume no change in pressure.)
In this case, since the temperature increases, the volume must also increase:

Exercise 6.17BDetermine the volume of nitrogen gas produced from the decomposition of 130 g sodium azide (about the amount in a typical automobile air bag) at 25°C and 1 atm.
