If a 0.050 g sample of the boron hydride burns completely in O2 what will be the pressure of the gaseous water in 4.25 L flask at 30 degree centigrade? 2B4H10(s) 11O2(g)-->4B2O3 10H2O(g)

  1. 2B4H10  +  11O2  ==>  4B2O3  +  10H2O

    0.005g B4H10 x (1 mole B4H10 / 53.3234g) x (10 moles H2O / 2 moles B4H10) = 9.38E-5 moles H2O

    PV = nRT

    P = nRT / V

    P = 9.38E-5 moles x 0.0821 L atm/mol K x 303K / 4.25L

    P = 5.5 x 10^-4 atm


  2. First thing you  must do, is change to the correct units.

    pV=nRT

    p=Pa     V=m^3     n=mol    R=Gas constant=8.314J/k/mol     T=K

    pV=nRT

    using stoichiometry, work out mol of B4H10, then the mol of H20

    2.3x10^-3mol

    p=(2.3x10^-3mol x 8.314J/K/mol x (273K+30)) / (4.25x10^-3m^-3)

    p=1,363Pa

      =1.36kPa
