Pearson Edexcel IAL Chemistry 1.8 Gas volume calculations

Practise converting between moles and gas volumes using r.t.p. molar volume, stoichiometry and pV = nRT with correct units.

Exam points

use molar gas volume at r.t.p. with equations to calculate reacting gas volumes
apply pV = nRT after converting pressure, volume and temperature into SI units
link density, mass and moles of a volatile liquid to the volume of gas produced

This question is about alkenes.

Bisabolenes are a group of compounds found in plants and fungi. Bisabolene molecules contain several carbon-carbon double bonds.
5.51 g of $\alpha$ -bisabolene reacted with $1873 \mathrm{~cm}^{3}$ of hydrogen gas, $\mathrm{H}_{2}$ . The reaction occured at a temperature of $150^{\circ} \mathrm{C}$ and a pressure of 152000 Pa .
$\left[M_{\mathrm{r}}\right.$ value: $\quad \alpha$ -bisabolene $\left.=204.0\right]$

Calculate the amount, in mol, of hydrogen gas that reacted with $\alpha$ -bisabolene. Use the ideal gas equation, p V=n R T.

\left[R=8.31 \mathrm{~J} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} \mathrm{~K}^{-1}\right]
