Decomposition Problems for Stoichiometry
« on: May 15, 2010, 11:32:35 PM »
Hi, I was doing a couple of questions that I have a feeling I did wrong, but don't know the correct format to do it in. Can anybody where I went wrong and what I should do instead? Thanks.  :D

1) How much copper (1) chloride can be produced beginning with 75.0g of copper (1) oxide?
Cu2O + 2HCL --> 2CuCl + H2O

What I did:

Required/Given
2(99)/147 x 75g
=101g

However, the answer key said 104g

2) What volume of oxygen gas is produced the decomposition of 100.0 g of sodium nitrate?
2NaNO3--> 2NaNO2+O2
32/2(84.99) x 100
= 18.83g

Answer key: 13.2g

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

What is 147?

Answer key: 13.2g

Since when grams are used to measure volume?
