Okay, so using these balanced chemical equations, we're going to solve for the number of unknown moles for the compound and the question.
00:15
So looking at question a, we're looking for the number of moles of carbon needed to react with a half a mole of sulfur dioxide.
00:24
So i'm going to go ahead and mark my givens and unknowns.
00:33
So, and i'm going to put whatever i was given in whatever the unknown is, i'm going to put it on top.
00:40
So i'm going to put 0 .5 moles above the so2.
00:46
And i'm going to put a question mark above carbon.
00:51
And i'm going to include the units, so moles.
00:54
Okay.
00:55
On the bottom, i'm going to put the ratio of the reaction.
00:59
So for every 5 moles of carbon used in this.
01:02
Reaction, there are going to be two moles of sulfur dioxide.
01:08
So now this is just a ratio.
01:11
So i have an unknown number of moles of carbon.
01:19
And every reaction is going to use up five moles of carbon for sulfur dioxide.
01:27
I'm going to be using half a mole.
01:34
And then every one reaction i do, i'm going to use up two moles of sulfur dioxide.
01:42
So now i'm solving for the number of moles of carbon.
01:46
So 0 .5, there we go.
01:58
So 0 .5 times, so what i'm doing is i'm cross multiplying.
02:09
So 0 .5 times 2, times 2 divided by, excuse me, 0 .5 times 5.
02:22
0 .5 times 5 divided by 2 gives me 1 .25 moles of carbon.
02:51
Okay? so that is my answer for part a.
02:59
Let's go ahead and try another one.
03:06
Okay? so the next problem, i am starting with 1 .2 moles of carbon.
03:12
And i need to figure out how much carbon monoxide that will produce.
03:18
So i'm going to take my numbers, my given numbers from the equation, and i'm going to put them on the top.
03:27
Okay.
03:29
And then i do not know the number of moles on carbon monoxide.
03:33
So i'm including my units.
03:36
So on the bottom, i'm going to write down the coefficients with the moles.
03:42
Now your units on the top should always match the ones on the bottom.
03:46
Okay, that's how it works this way because the units match.
03:52
Okay, so we do 1 .2 moles of carbon divided by 5 moles of carbon equals an unknown number of moles of carbon monoxide.
04:08
And every reaction is going to use up 4 moles of carbon monoxide.
04:14
Okay, so last time i didn't show this, i'm going to go ahead and show.
04:20
I get 1 .2 times 4.
04:23
Okay, i multiplied these two...
