Consider the unbalanced chemical equation below: $$\mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}(s)+\mathrm{HF}(g) \longrightarrow \mathrm{CaF}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{SiF}_{4}(g)+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}( )$$ Suppose a 32.9 -g sample of \(\mathrm{CaSiO}_{3}\) is reacted with 31.8 \(\mathrm{L}\) of \(\mathrm{HF}\) at \(27.0^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) and 1.00 \(\mathrm{atm}\) . Assuming the reaction goes to completion, calculate the mass of the \(\mathrm{SiF}_{4}\) and \(\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}\) produced in the reaction.

#tag_title#Step 2: Determine moles of reactants and the limiting reactant#tag_content# Moles of CaSiO₃ = $\frac{32.9\,\text{g}}{116.16\,\text{g/mol}} = 0.283\,\text{mol}$ Moles of HF = $\frac{31.8\,\text{L}\times 1.00\,\text{atm}}{0.08206\,\text{L}\cdot\text{atm/mol}\cdot\text{K}\times(27.0^{\circ}C+273.15)} = 1.32\,\text{mol}$ Limiting reactant: $\frac{1.32\,\text{mol}\,\text{HF}}{4} = 0.330\,\text{mol} \gt 0.283\,\text{mol}\,\text{CaSiO}_{3}$, so CaSiO₃ is the limiting reactant. #tag_title#Step 3: Calculate mass of products formed#tag_content# Moles of SiF₄ = moles of CaSiO₃ = 0.283 mol Moles of H₂O = $2\times0.283\,\text{mol} = 0.566\,\text{mol}$ Mass of SiF₄ = $0.283\,\text{mol} \times 104.08\,\text{g/mol} = 29.4\,\text{g}$ Mass of H₂O = $0.566\,\text{mol} \times 18.015\,\text{g/mol} = 10.2\,\text{g}$ So, 29.4 g of SiF₄ and 10.2 g of H₂O are produced in the reaction.

A 20.0 -L stainless steel container at \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) was charged with 2.00 atm of hydrogen gas and 3.00 atm of oxygen gas. A spark ignited the mixture, producing water. What is the pressure in the tank at $25^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ ? If the exact same experiment were performed, but the temperature was \(125^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) instead of \(25^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) what would be the pressure in the tank?

Consider a sample of a hydrocarbon (a compound consisting of only carbon and hydrogen) at 0.959 atm and 298 \(\mathrm{K}\). Upon combusting the entire sample in oxygen, you collect a mixture of gaseous carbon dioxide and water vapor at 1.51 atm and 375 \(\mathrm{K}\). This mixture has a density of 1.391 g/L and occupies a volume four times as large as that of the pure hydrocarbon. Determine the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon

Draw a qualitative graph to show how the first property varies with the second in each of the following (assume 1 mole of an ideal gas and \(T\) in kelvin). a. \(P V\) versus \(V\) with constant \(T\) b. \(P\) versus \(T\) with constant \(V\) c. \(T\) versus \(V\) with constant \(P\) d. \(P\) versus \(V\) with constant \(T\) e. \(P\) versus 1\(/ V\) with constant \(T\) f. \(P V / T\) versus \(P\)

A hot-air balloon is filled with air to a volume of \(4.00 \times\) $10^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3}\( at 745 torr and \)21^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ . The air in the balloon is then heated to \(62^{\circ} \mathrm{C},\) causing the balloon to expand to a volume of \(4.20 \times 10^{3} \mathrm{m}^{3} .\) What is the ratio of the number of moles of air in the heated balloon to the original number of moles of air in the balloon? (Hint: Openings in the balloon allow air to flow in and out. Thus the pressure in the balloon is always the same as that of the atmosphere.)

Silicon tetrachloride \(\left(\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}\right)\) and trichlorosilane \(\left(\mathrm{SiHCl}_{3}\right)\) are both starting materials for the production of electronics-grade silicon. Calculate the densities of pure \(\mathrm{SiCl}_{4}\) and pure \(\mathrm{SiHCl}_{4}\) vapor at $85^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and 635 torr.
