Chapter 4, Problem 33

For each of the reactions, calculate the mass (in grams) of the product that forms when 3.67 g of the underlined reactant completely reacts. Assume that there is more than enough of the other reactant. a. Ba(s) + Cl2(g) → BaCl2(s) b. CaO(s) + CO2(g) → CaCO3(s) c. 2 Mg(s) + O2(g) → 2 MgO(s) d. 4 Al(s) + 3 O2(g) → 2 Al2O3(s)

Verified step by step guidance
1
Identify the underlined reactant in each reaction and note its molar mass.
Convert the mass of the underlined reactant (3.67 g) to moles using its molar mass: \( \text{moles} = \frac{\text{mass}}{\text{molar mass}} \).
Use the stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation to determine the moles of product formed from the moles of the underlined reactant.
Calculate the molar mass of the product in each reaction.
Convert the moles of product to grams using its molar mass: \( \text{mass} = \text{moles} \times \text{molar mass} \).
