Section 11–3 Objectives

Explain how Gay-Lussac’s law and Avogadro’s law apply to the volumes of gases in chemical reactions.

Use a chemical equation to specify volume ratios for gaseous reactants or products, or both.

Use volume ratios and the gas laws to calculate volumes, masses, or molar amounts of gaseous reactants or products.

Stoichiometry of Gases

You can apply the discoveries of Gay-Lussac and Avogadro to calculate the stoichiometry of reactions involving gases.

For gaseous reactants or products, the coefficients in chemical equations not only indicate molar amounts and mole ratios but also reveal volume ratios. For example:

2CO + O2 2CO2

2 molecules 1 molecule 2 molecules

2 mol 1 mol 2 mol

2 volumes 1 volume 2 volumes

Stoichiometry of Gases

So just as we could come up with molar ratios when we did stoichiometry in Chapter 9, we can also come up with volume ratios.

Volumes can be compared in this way only if all are measured at the same temperature and pressure.

Volume–Volume Calculations

Suppose the volume of a gas involved in a reaction is known and you need to find the volume of another gaseous reactant or product, assuming both reactant and product exist under the same conditions.

Use volume ratios in exactly the same way you would use mole ratios.

Sample Problem 11–7

Propane, C3H8, is a gas that is sometimes used as a fuel for cooking or heating. The complete combustion of propane occurs according to the following equation. C3H8(g) + 5O2(g) 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)What will be the volume, in liters, of oxygen required for the complete combustion of 0.350 L of propane? Carbon dioxide?

0.350 L C3H8 x 5 L O2 / 1 L C3H8 = 1.75 L O2

0.350 L C3H8 x 3 L CO2 / 1 L C3H8 = 1.05 L CO2

Volume–Mass and Mass–Volume Calculations

Stoichiometric calculations may involve both masses and gas volumes.

Sometimes the volume of a reactant or product is given and the mass of a second gaseous substance is unknown.

In other gases, a mass amount may be known and a volume may be unknown. The calculations require routes such as the following:gas volume A moles A moles B mass Bmass A moles A moles B gas volume B

Volume-Mass and Mass-Volume Calculations

To find the unknown in cases like these, you must know the condition under which both the known and unknown gas volumes have been measured.

The ideal gas law is useful for calculating values at standard and nonstandard conditions.

Sample Problem 11–8

Calcium carbonate, CaCO3, also known as limestone, can be heated to produce calcium oxide (lime), an industrial chemical with a wide variety of uses. The balanced equation for the reaction follows

CaCO3(s) CaO(s) + CO2(g)How many grams of calcium carbonate must be decomposed to produce 5.00 L of carbon dioxide gas at STP?

Page 10: Section 11–3: Stoichiometry of Gases Coach Kelsoe Chemistry Pages 347–350

Sample Problem 11–8

Given: balanced equation, desired volume of CO2 at STP = 5.00 L

Unknown: mass of CaCO3 in grams STP tells us temperature and pressure and we

know the volume of carbon dioxide (5.00 L) PV = nRT n = PV/RT for CO2 n = (1 atm)(5.00 L)/(0.0821 L·atm/mol·K)(273 K) n = 0.223 mol CO2

Now that we have mol CO2, we can find mass.

Page 11: Section 11–3: Stoichiometry of Gases Coach Kelsoe Chemistry Pages 347–350

Sample Problem 11–8

0.223 mol CO2 x 1 mol CaCO3 = 0.223 mol CaCO3

0.223 mol CaCO3 x 100.09 g CaCO3 = 22.3 g

22.3 grams of calcium carbonate must be decomposed to produce 5.00 L of carbon dioxide gas at STP.

Sample Problem 11–9

Tungsten, W, a metal used in light-bulb filaments, is produced industrially by the reaction of tungsten oxide with hydrogen.

WO3(s) + 3H2(g) W(s) + 3H2O(l)How many liters of hydrogen gas at 35°C and 0.980 atm are needed to react completely with 875 g of tungsten oxide?

Given: balanced chemical equation, mass of WO3: 875 g, P of H2: 0.980 atm, T of H2: 308 K

Unknown: V of H2 in L at known conditions

Page 13: Section 11–3: Stoichiometry of Gases Coach Kelsoe Chemistry Pages 347–350

Sample Problem 11–9

875 g WO3 x 1 mol WO3 = 3.77 mol WO3

3.77 mol WO3 x 3 mol H2 = 11.3 mol H2

PV = nRT V = nRT/P V = (11.3 mol)(0.0821)(308 K) = 292 L H2
