If a 1250 g sample of B4H10 burns completely in O2 what will
If a 1.250 g sample of B4H10 burns completely in O2, what will be the pressure of the gasesous water in a 4.25 L flask at 30.0 degrees celcius.
Given this equation: 2 B4H10 (g) + 11 O2(g) = 4 B2O3(s) + 10 H20(g)
Solution
Calculate the moles of B4H10 present in 0.050 g. (1.250g / 53.3 g/mol = .023mol)
Multiply the mole of B4H10 by 5 to get n (moles of H2O = 5x.023 = .115mol)
PV=nRT
P (atm) = 0.115 x 0.082057 x (273+30) / 4.25 L
P = 0.672 atm
