CHEM 109 FINAL EXAM FALL 2008 (FORM 1)

Part 1. Free Response. Answer each question below as completely as possible. Be sure to show all math steps. No work, no credit.

1. (15 pts.) A reaction that occurs in a blast furnace, where iron ore is converted to cast iron, is shown below:

Compound Molar Mass (g/mol)

Fe2O3 159.6

Fe2O3 + 3 CO → 2 Fe + 3 CO2 CO 28.0

Use this information to answer the following questions:

(a) Suppose 86.7 grams of Fe2O3 are mixed with 100.5 g of CO. Which is the limiting reagent? (Work must support answer!)

86.7 g Fe2O3(1mol Fe2O3/ 159.7 g Fe2O3)(2 mol Fe/ 1 mol Fe2O3)(55.845 g Fe/ 1 mol Fe) = 60.7 g Fe

100.5 g CO(1mol CO/ 28.0 g CO)(2 mol Fe/ 3 mol CO)(55.845 g Fe/ 1 mol Fe) = 133.629 g Fe

Limiting Reagent: Fe2O3

(b) What mass of Fe, in grams, will be produced when this reaction takes place?

Work shown above

60.7 g Fe

(c) In a separate experiment, 25.4 g of Fe are produced, yet it was calculated that 42.3 g Fe should have been produced. Calculate the percent yield.

25.4 g/ 42.3 g x 100 = 60.0 %

60.0 %

2. (10 pts.) Ethylene glycol (C2H6O2), a substance primarily used as auto antifreeze, has a density of 1.11 g/cm3. Acetone (C3H6O), a substance used in paints, glues and nail polish remover, has a density of 0.7857 g/cm3.

(a) If 100.0 mL of each liquid are placed in separate containers, which weighs more? (Must show work to justify answer, circle your choice below)

100.0 mL(1.11 g/ mL) = 111 g ethylene glycol

100.0 mL(0.7857 g/ mL) = 78.57 g acetone

ethylene glycol acetone

(b) Determine the number of hydrogen atoms in 335.0 grams of ethylene glycol, C2H6O2.

335.0 g C2H6O2 (1 mol C2H6O2/ 62.066 g C2H6O2)(6.022 x 1023 molecules/ mol)(6 H atoms/1 molecule) = 1.95 x 1025

1.95 x 1025 H atoms

(c) Calculate the mass in grams of a sample containing 4.7 x 1030 molecules of acetone.

4.7 x 1030 molecules C3H6O (1 mol/ 6.022 x 1023 molecules)(58.077 g C3H6O/ 1 mol) = 4.53 x 108 g

4.53 x 108 g

3. (10 pts.) (a) Estradiol is a female sexual hormone. Elemental analysis of estradiol gave the following mass percent composition: C 79.37%, H 8.88%, O 11.75%. Use these data to determine the empirical formula for estradiol.

79.37 g C (1 mol C/ 12.011 g C) = 6.614 moles C/ 0.7348 = 9.00

8.88 g H (1 mol H/ 1.0079 g H) = 8.8183 moles H/ 0.7384 = 12.00

11.75 g O (1 mol O/ 15.9994 g O) = 0.7348 moles O/ 0.7384 = 1.00

Empirical formula: C9H12O

(b) Fructose is a common sugar found in fruit. If the empirical formula for this compound is CH2O and the molar mass of fructose is 180.16 g/mol, what is the molecular formula for this compound?

180.16/30.0 = 6 C6H12O6

Molecular formula: C6H12O6

4. (a) (10 pts.) A 7.25 g chocolate-chip cookie is burned in a bomb calorimeter to determine its energy content. The heat capacity of the calorimeter is 39.97 kJ/0C. During combustion, the temperature of the calorimeter increases from 25.00 0C to 28.90 0C. What is ΔErxn in kJ/gram for the combustion of the cookie?

q = (39.97 kJ/ °C)(3.9 °C) = 155.883 kJ

∆Erxn = 155.883 kJ/ 7.25 g = 21.50 kJ/ g

21.5 kJ/g

(b) The thermite reaction is used to produce molten iron to weld railroad rails together. Calculate the standard enthalpy change, ΔH0rxn, for following target reaction:

2Al (s) + Fe2O3 → 2Fe (s) + Al2O3 (s) ΔH0rxn = ?

Given that:

2Al (s) + 3/2O2 (g) → Al2O3 (s) ΔH0rxn = –1601 kJ

4Fe (s) + 3O2 (g) → 2Fe2O3 (s) ΔH0rxn = –1642 kJ x (– ½)

2Al (s) + 3/2O2 (g) → Al2O3 (s) ΔH0rxn = –1601 kJ

2Fe2O3 (s) →4Fe (s) + 3O2 (g) ΔH0rxn = + 821 kJ

–780 kJ

(c) Calculate the amount of heat (in kJ) required to heat 255 g of steam from 107.5 0C to 124.3 0C.

q = (255 g)(1.84 J/ g°C)(124.3 – 107.5) = 7883 J

q = 7883 J (1 kJ/ 1000 J)

q = 7.88 kJ

7.88 kJ
