Stoichiometry uses coefficient ratios to relate moles of one molecule to moles of another
Calculating the mass of a product from the number of moles of reactants
APEX
calculating the mass of a product from the number of miles of reactants
Grams liquid × mol/g × Hfusion
Density (at a given temperature) is the parameter that relates the mass to the volume of any substance.
You need the balanced chemical reaction equation :
------------------------------------------------------------------------
2 K + 2 H2O ----. 2 KOH + H2
moles H2 = n H2 = ( 1.60 L ) ( 1 mol H2 / 22.4 L H2 ) = 0.07143 moles H2
moles K = n K = ( 0.07143 mol H2 ) ( 2 mol K / 1 mol H2 ) = 0.14286 moles K
mass K = m K = ( 0.14286 mol K ) ( 39.10 g K / mol K )
mass K = m K = 5.56 g of potassium <---
Answer : 5.56 g of potassium
The nearest gram is in the ones column, so we must look at the tenths column (the first number on the right of the decimal). If this number if 5 or higher then we must round up and report the value as 1.0 g or if it is lower than 5 then we report the answer as 0.0. All other numbers are irrelevant. In this case (0.[5]3525) the number we are concerned about (in the square brackets) is 5, therefore we round up and the answer is 1.0 g.
