If 25.6 mL isopropyl alcohol fully decomposes, what mass of H2 is formed? The density of isopropyl alcohol is 0.785 g/mL. g

Answer:

The correct answer is 0.67 g H₂

Explanation:

Isopropyl alcohol (C₃H₇OH) can decompose to give acetone (C₂H₆OH) and hydrogen gas (H₂) according to the following chemical equation:

C₃H₇OH (g) ⇒ C₂H₆CO(g) + H₂(g)

We can calculate the initial mass of isopropyl alcohol from the density and volume data:

density = m/V = 0.785 g/mL

⇒ m = density x V = 0.785 g/mL x 25.6 mL = 20.096 g C₃H₇OH

According to the chemical equation 1 mol of C₃H₇OH gives 1 mol H₂. The molar mass of C₃H₇OH is:

molar mass C₃H₇OH = (12 g/mol x 3) + (1 g/mol x 7) + 16 g/mol + 1 g/mol = 60 g/mol

molar mass H₂ = 1 g/mol x 2 = 2 g/mol

So, we obtain: 2 g H₂ from 60 g C₃H₇OH. We multiply this stoichiometric ratio (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) by the initial mass of C₃H₇OH to obtain the mass of H₂ is formed:

20.096 g C₃H₇OH x (2 g H₂/60 g C₃H₇OH) = 0.6698 g ≅ 0.67 g H₂
