12. Balanced Equation: 𝑴𝒏𝑶𝟐 + 𝟒𝑯𝑪𝒍 → 𝑴𝒏𝑪𝒍𝟐 + 𝑪𝒍𝟐 + 𝟐𝑯𝟐 𝑶

Find the number of moles of 𝐻𝐶𝑙 present in 48.2 g of 𝐻𝐶𝑙

1 𝑚𝑜𝑙 𝐻𝐶𝑙
48.2 𝑔 𝐻𝐶𝑙 × (36.46 𝑔 𝐻𝐶𝑙) = 1.32 mol 𝐻𝐶𝑙

By inspection, 𝑯𝑪𝒍 runs out first. This is because the mole ratio of
MnO2 : 𝐻𝐶𝑙 is 1 : 4. Given that 0.86 mole of 𝑀𝑛𝑂2 reacted, it would require
(0.86 x 4 = 3.44) moles of 𝐻𝐶𝑙 to react with 𝑀𝑛𝑂2 for there to be no 𝑀𝑛𝑂2
left. 1.32 moles is way less than 3.44 moles, so 𝐻𝐶𝑙 runs out first.

Since 𝑛𝐴 = 𝑥𝐴 (where x is the mole fraction of substance A)

The substance produced consists of one mole of 𝑁2 for every three moles of
𝐻2 . Therefore, the mole fraction of 𝑁2 is 0.25 and for 𝐻2 ; 0.75. Simply
multiply the total pressure by these molar fractions to obtain the
partial pressures of each substance present. This same process can also
be applied when given the moles of each component of a mixture of gases.

Note: The sum of mole fractions must equal 1, and the sum of partial
pressure must equal the total pressure (from Dalton’s law of partial
pressures).

37. (a)If a reaction produces more gas molecules than it consumes, ΔS° is
positive.
(b)If the total number of gas molecules diminishes, ΔS° is negative.
(c)If there is no net change in the total number of gas molecules,
then ΔS° may be positive or negative, but will be relatively small
numerically.
38. A

39. C

40. D - Evaporation requires energy and strong intermolecular forces need

more energy to break, so less molecules would exist in the vapor phase.
