Stoichiometry of Gases
Objectives
1. Apply the principles of stoichiometry to
determine the volume of any gas that is
produced or consumed in a chemical reaction.

Aluminum granules are a component of some drain cleaners
because they react with sodium hydroxide to release both
heat and gas bubbles, which help clear the drain clog.
The reaction is…
2 NaOH(aq) + 2 Al(s) + 6 H2O(l)  2 NaAl(OH)4 (aq) + 3H2 (g)

Rocket propulsion systems and some explosives employ
reactions that suddenly produce a large volume of hot
gas from a small volume of reactants. For example, the
explosive substance, nitroglycerin undergoes the
following decomposition reaction when detonated.
4 C3H5(ONO2)3 (l)  12 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O(g) + 6 N2 (g) + O2(g)
Calculate the total volume of gases produced by the
reaction of 4 moles of nitroglycerin.
(12 mol + 10 mol + 6 mol + 1 mol)(22.4 L/mol) = 650. L
