Methodology for solving problems in chemistry

When solving problems, you need to be guided by a few simple rules:

  1. Carefully read the condition of the problem;
  2. Write down what is given;
  3. Convert, if necessary, units of physical quantities to SI units (some non-systemic units are allowed, such as liters);
  4. Write down, if necessary, the reaction equation and arrange the coefficients;
  5. Solve the problem using the concept of the amount of substance, and not the method of drawing up proportions;
  6. Write down the answer.

In order to successfully prepare in chemistry, one should carefully consider the solutions to the problems given in the text, as well as independently solve a sufficient number of them. It is in the process of solving problems that the main theoretical provisions of the chemistry course will be fixed. It is necessary to solve problems throughout the entire time of studying chemistry and preparing for the exam.

Mole, molar mass

Molar mass is the ratio of the mass of a substance to the amount of a substance, i.e.

М(х) = m(x)/ν(x), (1)

where M(x) is the molar mass of substance X, m(x) is the mass of substance X, ν(x) is the amount of substance X. The SI unit for molar mass is kg/mol, but g/mol is commonly used. The unit of mass is g, kg. The SI unit for the amount of a substance is the mole.

Any chemistry problem solved through the amount of matter. Remember the basic formula:

ν(x) = m(x)/ М(х) = V(x)/V m = N/N A , (2)

where V(x) is the volume of substance Х(l), Vm is the molar volume of gas (l/mol), N is the number of particles, N A is the Avogadro constant.

1. Determine the mass sodium iodide NaI amount of substance 0.6 mol.

Solution. The molar mass of sodium iodide is:

M(NaI) = M(Na) + M(I) = 23 + 127 = 150 g/mol

Determine the mass of NaI:

m(NaI) = ν(NaI) M(NaI) = 0.6 150 = 90 g.

2. Determine the amount of substance atomic boron contained in sodium tetraborate Na 2 B 4 O 7 weighing 40.4 g.

Given: m(Na 2 B 4 O 7) \u003d 40.4 g.

Find: ν(B)=?

Solution. The molar mass of sodium tetraborate is 202 g/mol. Determine the amount of substance Na 2 B 4 O 7:

ν (Na 2 B 4 O 7) \u003d m (Na 2 B 4 O 7) / M (Na 2 B 4 O 7) \u003d 40.4 / 202 \u003d 0.2 mol.

Recall that 1 mol of sodium tetraborate molecule contains 2 mol of sodium atoms, 4 mol of boron atoms and 7 mol of oxygen atoms (see the formula of sodium tetraborate). Then the amount of atomic boron substance is: ν (B) \u003d 4 ν (Na 2 B 4 O 7) \u003d 4 0.2 \u003d 0.8 mol.

Calculations for chemical formulas. Mass share.

The mass fraction of a substance is the ratio of the mass of a given substance in the system to the mass of the entire system, i.e. ω(X) =m(X)/m, where ω(X) is the mass fraction of substance X, m(X) is the mass of substance X, m is the mass of the entire system. Mass fraction is a dimensionless quantity. It is expressed as a fraction of a unit or as a percentage. For example, the mass fraction of atomic oxygen is 0.42, or 42%, i.e. ω(O)=0.42. The mass fraction of atomic chlorine in sodium chloride is 0.607, or 60.7%, i.e. ω(Cl)=0.607.

3. Determine the mass fraction water of crystallization in barium chloride dihydrate BaCl 2 2H 2 O.

Solution: The molar mass of BaCl 2 2H 2 O is:

M (BaCl 2 2H 2 O) \u003d 137+ 2 35.5 + 2 18 \u003d 244 g / mol

From the formula BaCl 2 2H 2 O it follows that 1 mol of barium chloride dihydrate contains 2 mol of H 2 O. From this we can determine the mass of water contained in BaCl 2 2H 2 O:

m(H 2 O) \u003d 2 18 \u003d 36 g.

We find the mass fraction of water of crystallization in barium chloride dihydrate BaCl 2 2H 2 O.

ω (H 2 O) \u003d m (H 2 O) / m (BaCl 2 2H 2 O) \u003d 36/244 \u003d 0.1475 \u003d 14.75%.

4. From a rock sample weighing 25 g containing the mineral argentite Ag 2 S, silver weighing 5.4 g was isolated. Determine the mass fraction argentite in the sample.

Given: m(Ag)=5.4 g; m = 25 g.

Find: ω(Ag 2 S) =?

Solution: we determine the amount of silver substance in argentite: ν (Ag) \u003d m (Ag) / M (Ag) \u003d 5.4 / 108 \u003d 0.05 mol.

From the formula Ag 2 S it follows that the amount of argentite substance is half the amount of silver substance. Determine the amount of argentite substance:

ν (Ag 2 S) \u003d 0.5 ν (Ag) \u003d 0.5 0.05 \u003d 0.025 mol

We calculate the mass of argentite:

m (Ag 2 S) \u003d ν (Ag 2 S) M (Ag 2 S) \u003d 0.025 248 \u003d 6.2 g.

Now we determine the mass fraction of argentite in a rock sample, weighing 25 g.

ω (Ag 2 S) \u003d m (Ag 2 S) / m \u003d 6.2 / 25 \u003d 0.248 \u003d 24.8%.

Derivation of compound formulas

5. Determine the simplest compound formula potassium with manganese and oxygen, if the mass fractions of elements in this substance are 24.7, 34.8 and 40.5%, respectively.

Given: ω(K)=24.7%; ω(Mn)=34.8%; ω(O)=40.5%.

Find: compound formula.

Solution: for calculations, we select the mass of the compound, equal to 100 g, i.e. m=100 g. Masses of potassium, manganese and oxygen will be:

m (K) = m ω (K); m (K) \u003d 100 0.247 \u003d 24.7 g;

m (Mn) = m ω(Mn); m (Mn) = 100 0.348 = 34.8 g;

m (O) = m ω(O); m (O) \u003d 100 0.405 \u003d 40.5 g.

We determine the amount of substances of atomic potassium, manganese and oxygen:

ν (K) \u003d m (K) / M (K) \u003d 24.7 / 39 \u003d 0.63 mol

ν (Mn) \u003d m (Mn) / M (Mn) \u003d 34.8 / 55 \u003d 0.63 mol

ν (O) \u003d m (O) / M (O) \u003d 40.5 / 16 \u003d 2.5 mol

We find the ratio of the amounts of substances:

ν(K) : ν(Mn) : ν(O) = 0.63: 0.63: 2.5.

Dividing the right side of the equation by a smaller number (0.63) we get:

ν(K) : ν(Mn) : ν(O) = 1: 1: 4.

Therefore, the simplest formula of the KMnO 4 compound.

6. During the combustion of 1.3 g of the substance, 4.4 g of carbon monoxide (IV) and 0.9 g of water were formed. Find the molecular formula substance if its hydrogen density is 39.

Given: m(in-va) \u003d 1.3 g; m(CO 2)=4.4 g; m(H 2 O)=0.9 g; D H2 \u003d 39.

Find: the formula of the substance.

Solution: Assume that the substance you are looking for contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen, because during its combustion, CO 2 and H 2 O were formed. Then it is necessary to find the amounts of substances CO 2 and H 2 O in order to determine the amounts of substances of atomic carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.

ν (CO 2) \u003d m (CO 2) / M (CO 2) \u003d 4.4 / 44 \u003d 0.1 mol;

ν (H 2 O) \u003d m (H 2 O) / M (H 2 O) \u003d 0.9 / 18 \u003d 0.05 mol.

We determine the amount of substances of atomic carbon and hydrogen:

ν(C)= ν(CO 2); v(C)=0.1 mol;

ν(H)= 2 ν(H 2 O); ν (H) \u003d 2 0.05 \u003d 0.1 mol.

Therefore, the masses of carbon and hydrogen will be equal:

m(C) = ν(C) M(C) = 0.1 12 = 1.2 g;

m (H) \u003d ν (H) M (H) \u003d 0.1 1 \u003d 0.1 g.

We determine the qualitative composition of the substance:

m (in-va) \u003d m (C) + m (H) \u003d 1.2 + 0.1 \u003d 1.3 g.

Consequently, the substance consists only of carbon and hydrogen (see the condition of the problem). Let us now determine its molecular weight, based on the given in the condition tasks density of a substance with respect to hydrogen.

M (in-va) \u003d 2 D H2 \u003d 2 39 \u003d 78 g / mol.

ν(C) : ν(H) = 0.1: 0.1

Dividing the right side of the equation by the number 0.1, we get:

ν(C) : ν(H) = 1: 1

Let's take the number of carbon (or hydrogen) atoms as "x", then, multiplying "x" by the atomic masses of carbon and hydrogen and equating this amount to the molecular weight of the substance, we solve the equation:

12x + x \u003d 78. Hence x \u003d 6. Therefore, the formula of the substance C 6 H 6 is benzene.

Molar volume of gases. Laws of ideal gases. Volume fraction.

The molar volume of a gas is equal to the ratio of the volume of gas to the amount of substance of this gas, i.e.

Vm = V(X)/ ν(x),

where V m is the molar volume of gas - a constant value for any gas under given conditions; V(X) is the volume of gas X; ν(x) - the amount of gas substance X. The molar volume of gases under normal conditions (normal pressure p n \u003d 101 325 Pa ≈ 101.3 kPa and temperature Tn \u003d 273.15 K ≈ 273 K) is V m \u003d 22.4 l /mol.

In calculations involving gases, it is often necessary to switch from these conditions to normal conditions or vice versa. In this case, it is convenient to use the formula following from the combined gas law of Boyle-Mariotte and Gay-Lussac:

──── = ─── (3)

Where p is pressure; V is the volume; T is the temperature in the Kelvin scale; the index "n" indicates normal conditions.

The composition of gas mixtures is often expressed using a volume fraction - the ratio of the volume of a given component to the total volume of the system, i.e.

where φ(X) is the volume fraction of the X component; V(X) is the volume of the X component; V is the volume of the system. The volume fraction is a dimensionless quantity, it is expressed in fractions of a unit or as a percentage.

7. What volume takes at a temperature of 20 ° C and a pressure of 250 kPa ammonia weighing 51 g?

Given: m(NH 3)=51 g; p=250 kPa; t=20°C.

Find: V(NH 3) \u003d?

Solution: determine the amount of ammonia substance:

ν (NH 3) \u003d m (NH 3) / M (NH 3) \u003d 51/17 \u003d 3 mol.

The volume of ammonia under normal conditions is:

V (NH 3) \u003d V m ν (NH 3) \u003d 22.4 3 \u003d 67.2 l.

Using formula (3), we bring the volume of ammonia to these conditions [temperature T \u003d (273 + 20) K \u003d 293 K]:

p n TV n (NH 3) 101.3 293 67.2

V (NH 3) \u003d ──────── \u003d ────────── \u003d 29.2 l.

8. Determine volume, which will take under normal conditions a gas mixture containing hydrogen, weighing 1.4 g and nitrogen, weighing 5.6 g.

Given: m(N 2)=5.6 g; m(H2)=1.4; well.

Find: V(mixture)=?

Solution: find the amount of substance hydrogen and nitrogen:

ν (N 2) \u003d m (N 2) / M (N 2) \u003d 5.6 / 28 \u003d 0.2 mol

ν (H 2) \u003d m (H 2) / M (H 2) \u003d 1.4 / 2 \u003d 0.7 mol

Since under normal conditions these gases do not interact with each other, the volume gas mixture will be equal to the sum of the volumes of gases, i.e.

V (mixtures) \u003d V (N 2) + V (H 2) \u003d V m ν (N 2) + V m ν (H 2) \u003d 22.4 0.2 + 22.4 0.7 \u003d 20.16 l.

Calculations by chemical equations

Calculations according to chemical equations (stoichiometric calculations) are based on the law of conservation of the mass of substances. However, in real chemical processes, due to an incomplete reaction and various losses of substances, the mass of the resulting products is often less than that which should be formed in accordance with the law of conservation of the mass of substances. The yield of the reaction product (or the mass fraction of the yield) is the ratio of the mass of the actually obtained product, expressed as a percentage, to its mass, which should be formed in accordance with the theoretical calculation, i.e.

η = /m(X) (4)

Where η is the product yield, %; m p (X) - the mass of the product X obtained in the real process; m(X) is the calculated mass of substance X.

In those tasks where the product yield is not specified, it is assumed that it is quantitative (theoretical), i.e. η=100%.

9. What mass of phosphorus should be burned for getting phosphorus oxide (V) weighing 7.1 g?

Given: m(P 2 O 5) \u003d 7.1 g.

Find: m(P) =?

Solution: we write the equation for the combustion reaction of phosphorus and arrange the stoichiometric coefficients.

4P+ 5O 2 = 2P 2 O 5

We determine the amount of substance P 2 O 5 obtained in the reaction.

ν (P 2 O 5) \u003d m (P 2 O 5) / M (P 2 O 5) \u003d 7.1 / 142 \u003d 0.05 mol.

It follows from the reaction equation that ν (P 2 O 5) \u003d 2 ν (P), therefore, the amount of phosphorus substance required in the reaction is:

ν (P 2 O 5) \u003d 2 ν (P) \u003d 2 0.05 \u003d 0.1 mol.

From here we find the mass of phosphorus:

m(Р) = ν(Р) М(Р) = 0.1 31 = 3.1 g.

Zn + 2 HCl \u003d ZnCl 2 + H 2

Mg + 2 HCl \u003d MgCl 2 + H 2

We determine the amount of magnesium and zinc substances that reacted with hydrochloric acid.

ν (Zn) \u003d m (Zn) / M (Zn) \u003d 6.5 / 65 \u003d 0.1 mol.

It follows from the reaction equations that the amount of the substance of the metal and hydrogen are equal, i.e. ν (Mg) \u003d ν (H 2); ν (Zn) \u003d ν (H 2), we determine the amount of hydrogen resulting from two reactions:

ν (Н 2) \u003d ν (Mg) + ν (Zn) \u003d 0.25 + 0.1 \u003d 0.35 mol.

We calculate the volume of hydrogen released as a result of the reaction:

V (H 2) \u003d V m ν (H 2) \u003d 22.4 0.35 \u003d 7.84 l.

11. When passing hydrogen sulfide with a volume of 2.8 liters (normal conditions) through an excess of copper (II) sulfate solution, a precipitate was formed weighing 11.4 g. Determine the exit reaction product.

Given: V(H 2 S)=2.8 l; m(precipitate)= 11.4 g; well.

Find: η =?

Solution: we write the reaction equation for the interaction of hydrogen sulfide and copper (II) sulfate.

H 2 S + CuSO 4 \u003d CuS ↓ + H 2 SO 4

Determine the amount of hydrogen sulfide substance involved in the reaction.

ν (H 2 S) \u003d V (H 2 S) / V m \u003d 2.8 / 22.4 \u003d 0.125 mol.

It follows from the reaction equation that ν (H 2 S) \u003d ν (СuS) \u003d 0.125 mol. So you can find the theoretical mass of CuS.

m(CuS) \u003d ν (CuS) M (CuS) \u003d 0.125 96 \u003d 12 g.

Now we determine the product yield using formula (4):

η = /m(X)= 11.4 100/ 12 = 95%.

12. What weight ammonium chloride is formed by the interaction of hydrogen chloride weighing 7.3 g with ammonia weighing 5.1 g? What gas will be left in excess? Determine the mass of the excess.

This task is for "excess" and "deficiency". We calculate the amount of hydrogen chloride and ammonia and determine which gas is in excess.

ν (NH 3) \u003d m (NH 3) / M (NH 3) \u003d 5.1 / 17 \u003d 0.3 mol.

Ammonia is in excess, so the calculation is based on the deficiency, i.e. by hydrogen chloride. It follows from the reaction equation that ν (HCl) \u003d ν (NH 4 Cl) \u003d 0.2 mol. Determine the mass of ammonium chloride.

It follows from the reaction equations that ν (C 2 H 2 Br 4) \u003d ν (C 2 H 2) \u003d ν (CaC 2) \u003d 0.25 mol. From here we can find the mass of pure calcium carbide (without impurities).

Solubility table

We discussed general algorithm solving problem No. 35 (C5). It's time to disassemble concrete examples and offer you a selection of tasks for independent solution.

Example 2. Complete hydrogenation of 5.4 g of some alkyne consumes 4.48 liters of hydrogen (n.a.) Determine the molecular formula of this alkyne.

Solution. We will act in accordance with general plan. Let the unknown alkyne molecule contain n carbon atoms. General formula homologous series C n H 2n-2 . Hydrogenation of alkynes proceeds in accordance with the equation:

C n H 2n-2 + 2Н 2 = C n H 2n+2.

The amount of hydrogen reacted can be found by the formula n = V/Vm. In this case, n = 4.48 / 22.4 = 0.2 mol.

The equation shows that 1 mol of alkyne adds 2 mol of hydrogen (recall that in the condition of the problem in question about complete hydrogenation), therefore, n (C n H 2n-2) = 0.1 mol.

By the mass and amount of alkyne, we find its molar mass: M (C n H 2n-2) \u003d m (mass) / n (amount) \u003d 5.4 / 0.1 \u003d 54 (g / mol).

The relative molecular weight of an alkyne is made up of n atomic masses of carbon and 2n-2 atomic masses of hydrogen. We get the equation:

12n + 2n - 2 = 54.

We decide linear equation, we get: n = 4. Alkyne formula: C 4 H 6.

Answer: C 4 H 6 .

I would like to draw attention to one significant point: the molecular formula C 4 H 6 corresponds to several isomers, including two alkynes (butyn-1 and butyn-2). Based on these problems, we cannot unambiguously establish structural formula the substance under study. However, in this case, this is not required!

Example 3. During the combustion of 112 l (n.a.) of an unknown cycloalkane in excess oxygen, 336 l of CO 2 are formed. Set the structural formula of cycloalkane.

Solution. The general formula for the homologous series of cycloalkanes is: C n H 2n. With the complete combustion of cycloalkanes, as with the combustion of any hydrocarbons, carbon dioxide and water are formed:

C n H 2n + 1.5n O 2 \u003d n CO 2 + n H 2 O.

Please note: the coefficients in the reaction equation in this case depend on n!

During the reaction, 336 / 22.4 \u003d 15 mol of carbon dioxide was formed. 112/22.4 = 5 mol of hydrocarbon entered into the reaction.

Further reasoning is obvious: if 15 moles of CO 2 are formed per 5 moles of cycloalkane, then 15 molecules of carbon dioxide are formed per 5 molecules of hydrocarbon, i.e., one molecule of cycloalkane gives 3 molecules of CO 2. Since each molecule of carbon monoxide (IV) contains one carbon atom, we can conclude that one cycloalkane molecule contains 3 carbon atoms.

Conclusion: n \u003d 3, the formula of cycloalkane is C 3 H 6.

As you can see, the solution to this problem does not "fit" into the general algorithm. We did not look for the molar mass of the compound here, did not make any equation. According to formal criteria, this example is not similar to the standard C5 problem. But above, I have already emphasized that it is important not to memorize the algorithm, but to understand the MEANING of the actions performed. If you understand the meaning, you yourself will be able to make changes to the general scheme at the exam, choose the most rational way to solve it.

In this example, there is another "strangeness": it is necessary to find not only the molecular, but also the structural formula of the compound. In the previous task, we failed to do this, but in this example - please! The fact is that the formula C 3 H 6 corresponds to only one isomer - cyclopropane.

Answer: cyclopropane.


Example 4. 116 g of some limiting aldehyde were heated for a long time with an ammonia solution of silver oxide. During the reaction, 432 g of metallic silver was formed. Set the molecular formula of aldehyde.

Solution. The general formula for the homologous series of limiting aldehydes is: C n H 2n+1 COH. Aldehydes are easily oxidized to carboxylic acids, in particular, under the action of an ammonia solution of silver oxide:

C n H 2n + 1 COH + Ag 2 O \u003d C n H 2n + 1 COOH + 2Ag.

Note. In fact, the reaction is described more complex equation. When Ag 2 O is added to an aqueous solution of ammonia, a complex compound OH is formed - diammine silver hydroxide. It is this compound that acts as an oxidizing agent. During the reaction, an ammonium salt of a carboxylic acid is formed:

C n H 2n + 1 COH + 2OH \u003d C n H 2n + 1 COONH 4 + 2Ag + 3NH 3 + H 2 O.

Another important point! The oxidation of formaldehyde (HCOH) is not described by the above equation. When HCOH reacts with an ammonia solution of silver oxide, 4 mol of Ag is released per 1 mol of aldehyde:

НCOH + 2Ag 2 O \u003d CO 2 + H 2 O + 4Ag.

Be careful when solving problems related to the oxidation of carbonyl compounds!

Let's go back to our example. By the mass of released silver, you can find the amount of this metal: n(Ag) = m/M = 432/108 = 4 (mol). In accordance with the equation, 2 mol of silver is formed per 1 mol of aldehyde, therefore, n (aldehyde) \u003d 0.5n (Ag) \u003d 0.5 * 4 \u003d 2 mol.

Molar mass of aldehyde = 116/2 = 58 g/mol. Try to do the next steps yourself: you need to make an equation, solve it and draw conclusions.

Answer: C 2 H 5 COH.


Example 5. When 3.1 g of some primary amine is reacted with a sufficient amount of HBr, 11.2 g of salt is formed. Set the amine formula.

Solution. Primary amines (C n H 2n + 1 NH 2) when interacting with acids form alkylammonium salts:

C n H 2n+1 NH 2 + HBr = [C n H 2n+1 NH 3] + Br - .

Unfortunately, by the mass of the amine and the resulting salt, we will not be able to find their quantities (since the molar masses are unknown). Let's go the other way. Recall the law of conservation of mass: m(amine) + m(HBr) = m(salt), therefore, m(HBr) = m(salt) - m(amine) = 11.2 - 3.1 = 8.1.

Pay attention to this trick, which is very often used in solving C 5. Even if the mass of the reagent is not given explicitly in the problem statement, you can try to find it from the masses of other compounds.

So, we are back in the mainstream of the standard algorithm. By the mass of hydrogen bromide we find the amount, n(HBr) = n(amine), M(amine) = 31 g/mol.

Answer: CH 3 NH 2 .


Example 6. A certain amount of alkene X, when interacting with an excess of chlorine, forms 11.3 g of dichloride, and when reacting with an excess of bromine, 20.2 g of dibromide. Determine the molecular formula of X.

Solution. Alkenes add chlorine and bromine to form dihalogen derivatives:

C n H 2n + Cl 2 \u003d C n H 2n Cl 2,

C n H 2n + Br 2 \u003d C n H 2n Br 2.

It makes no sense in this problem to try to find the amount of dichloride or dibromide (their molar masses are unknown) or the amounts of chlorine or bromine (their masses are unknown).

We use one non-standard technique. The molar mass of C n H 2n Cl 2 is 12n + 2n + 71 = 14n + 71. M (C n H 2n Br 2) = 14n + 160.

The masses of the dihalides are also known. You can find the amount of substances obtained: n (C n H 2n Cl 2) \u003d m / M \u003d 11.3 / (14n + 71). n (C n H 2n Br 2) \u003d 20.2 / (14n + 160).

By convention, the amount of dichloride is equal to the amount of dibromide. This fact gives us the opportunity to make an equation: 11.3 / (14n + 71) = 20.2 / (14n + 160).

This equation has a unique solution: n = 3.

Answer: C 3 H 6


AT final part I offer you a selection of tasks of the type C5 of varying complexity. Try to solve them yourself - it will be a great workout before passing the exam in chemistry!
