At STP, \(1.0 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{Br}_{2}\) reacts completely with \(3.0 \mathrm{~L} \mathrm{~F}_{2}\), producing 2.0 L of a product. What is the formula of the product? (All substances are gases.)

Short Answer

Expert verified
The formula of the product is \( BrF_{3} \).

Step by step solution

01

1. Write down the unbalanced chemical equation

Based on the information given, we can write down the unbalanced chemical equation: \[ Br_{2} + F_{2} \rightarrow ? \]
02

2. Write the balanced chemical equation

We know that the reaction occurs at STP, which means that both reactants and products behave as ideal gases. The balanced chemical equation for the given reaction can be derived as follows: \[ Br_{2} + 3F_{2} \rightarrow 2BrF_{3} \] This equation indicates that one mole of bromine reacts with three moles of fluorine to produce two moles of the product.
03

3. Calculate the mole ratio of reactants:

At STP, the volume of a gas is directly proportional to the number of moles. Therefore, the mole ratio of the reactants is: \( \frac{n_{Br_{2}}}{n_{F_{2}}} = \frac{1.0 L}{3.0 L} = \frac{1}{3} \) where \( n_{Br_{2}} \) and \( n_{F_{2}} \) represent the moles of bromine and fluorine, respectively.
04

4. Compare the calculated mole ratio with the balanced chemical equation

According to the balanced chemical equation, 1 mole of bromine reacts with 3 moles of fluorine: \( \frac{n_{Br_{2}}}{n_{F_{2}}} = \frac{1}{3} \) This is the same as the calculated mole ratio of the reactants.
05

5. Determine the formula of the product

As we have the stoichiometry of the reaction from the balanced chemical equation and the volume of product formed, we can use that to determine the formula of the product. The balanced chemical equation: \[ Br_{2} + 3F_{2} \rightarrow 2BrF_{3} \] Since \(2.0 L\) of a product is formed, and we have this relationship from the balanced equation: \( 2 \: moles \: Product = 1.0 \: L \: Br_{2} \: reactant \) Thus, the product formed is \( BrF_{3} \). The formula of the product is \( BrF_{3} \).

A bicycle tire is filled with air to a pressure of 75 . psi at a temperature of \(19^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). Riding the bike on asphalt on a hot day increases the temperature of the tire to \(58^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\). The volume of the tire increases by \(4.0 \%\). What is the new pressure in the bicycle tire?

Some very effective rocket fuels are composed of lightweight liquids. The fuel composed of dimethylhydrazine \(\left[\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}\right]\) mixed with dinitrogen tetroxide was used to power the Lunar Lander in its missions to the moon. The two components react according to the following equation: \(\left(\mathrm{CH}_{3}\right)_{2} \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{H}_{2}(l)+2 \mathrm{~N}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}(l) \longrightarrow 3 \mathrm{~N}_{2}(g)+4 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(g)+2 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\) If \(150 \mathrm{~g}\) dimethylhydrazine reacts with excess dinitrogen tetroxide and the product gases are collected at \(27^{\circ} \mathrm{C}\) in an evacuated 250-L tank, what is the partial pressure of nitrogen gas produced and what is the total pressure in the tank assuming the reaction has \(100 \%\) yield?
