Using Gas Variables to Find Amounts of Reactants or Products
PROBLEM: Copper reacts with oxygen impurities in the ethylene used to produce polyethylene. The copper is regenerated when hot H2 reduces the copper(II) oxide, forming the pure metal and H2O. What volume of H2 at 765 torr and 225oC is needed to reduce 35.5 g of copper(II) oxide?
PLAN: Since this problem requires stoichiometry and the gas laws, we have to write a balanced equation, use the moles of Cu to calculate moles of H2 and then volume of H2 gas.

Sample Problems

A sample of chlorine gas is confined in a 5.0-L container at 328 torr and 37°C. How many moles of gas are in the sample?
5-29
Plan: Given the volume, pressure, and temperature of a gas, the number of moles of the gas can be calculated using the ideal gas equation, PV = nRT.
The gas constant, R = 0.0821 L•atm/mol•K, gives pressure in atmospheres and temperature in Kelvin. The given pressure in torr must be converted to atmospheres and the temperature converted to Kelvin.
Solution: PV = nRT or n = PV/RT
P = = 0.43158 atm; V = 5.0 L; T = 37°C + 273 = 310 K 1 atm328 torr

What is the effect of the following on the volume of 1 mol of an ideal gas?
(a)The pressure is tripled (at constant T).
(b) The absolute temperature is increased by a factor of 3.0 (at constant P).
5-31
Plan: Use the relationship
Solution:
a) As the pressure on a gas increases, the molecules move closer together, decreasing the volume. When the pressure is tripled, the volume decreases to one third of the original volume at constant temperature (Boyle’s Law).
V2 = ⅓V1
b) As the temperature of a gas increases, the gas molecules gain kinetic energy. With higher energy, the gas molecules collide with the walls of the container with greater force, which increases the size (volume) of the container. If the temperature is increased by a factor of 3.0 (at constant pressure) then the volume will increase by a factor of 3.0 (Charles’s Law).

5-35
Plan: To find the mass of PH3, write the balanced equation and find the number of moles of PH3 produced by each reactant. The smaller number of moles of product indicates the limiting reagent. Solve for moles of H2 using the ideal gas equation.
Solution: P4(s) + 6 H2(g) 4 PH3(g)
From the ideal gas equation:
Moles hydrogen = 3.705357 mol H2 (unrounded)
