Hydrogen peroxide is used as a cleansing agent in the treatment of cuts and abrasions for several reasons. It is an oxidizing agent that can directly kill many microorganisms; it decomposes on contact with blood, releasing elemental oxygen gas (which inhibits the growth of anaerobic microorganisms); and it foams on contact with blood, which provides a cleansing action. In the laboratory, small quantities of hydrogen peroxide can be prepared by the action of an acid on an alkaline earth metal peroxide, such as barium peroxide: $$\mathrm{BaO}_{2}(s)+2 \mathrm{HCl}(a q) \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{2}(a q)+\mathrm{BaCl}_{2}(a q)$$ What mass of hydrogen peroxide should result when \(1.50 \mathrm{g}\) barium peroxide is treated with \(25.0 \mathrm{mL}\) hydrochloric acid solution containing \(0.0272 \mathrm{g}\) HCl per mL? What mass of which reagent is left unreacted?
Consider a mixture of potassium chloride and potassium nitrate that is \(43.2 \%\) potassium by mass. What is the percent KCl by mass of the original mixture?
Vitamin A has a molar mass of 286.4 g/mol and a general molecular formula of \(\mathrm{C}_{x} \mathrm{H}_{y} \mathrm{E},\) where \(\mathrm{E}\) is an unknown element. If vitamin \(A\) is \(83.86 \%\) C and \(10.56 \%\) H by mass, what is the molecular formula of vitamin A?
DDT, an insecticide harmful to fish, birds, and humans, is produced by the following reaction: $$2 \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{Cl}+\mathrm{C}_{2} \mathrm{HOCl}_{3} \longrightarrow \mathrm{C}_{14} \mathrm{H}_{9} \mathrm{Cl}_{5}+\mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}$$ In a government lab, 1142 g of chlorobenzene is reacted with 485 g of chloral. a. What mass of DDT is formed, assuming \(100 \%\) yield? b. Which reactant is limiting? Which is in excess? c. What mass of the excess reactant is left over? d. If the actual yield of DDT is \(200.0 \mathrm{g},\) what is the percent yield?
Elixirs such as Alka-Seltzer use the reaction of sodium bicarbonate with citric acid in aqueous solution to produce a fizz: $$\begin{aligned}3 \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3}(a q)+\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{7}(a q) & \longrightarrow \\\3 \mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)+3 \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O}(l) &+\mathrm{Na}_{3} \mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{5} \mathrm{O}_{7}(a q)\end{aligned}$$ a. What mass of \(\mathrm{C}_{6} \mathrm{H}_{8} \mathrm{O}_{7}\) should be used for every \(1.0 \times 10^{2} \mathrm{mg} \mathrm{NaHCO}_{3} ?\) b. What mass of \(\mathrm{CO}_{2}(g)\) could be produced from such a mixture?
