So I don't think this problem would be as simple as 7,000x3, but I don't know how else to do it..I know 1 mol=6.02*10^23 but I'm not sure where to plug that in.

A tanker truck can hold 7,000 gallons of liquid and transports a full load of toluene to a chemical plant. The toluene is at 25 oC and 1 atm pressure. For each mole of toluene, three moles of product are produced according to the reation below. Reactants + Toluene −→ 3Product Assume that enough of the Reactants are present to react all of the toluene.
How many moles of product can be produced from the load of toluene?

No, it's not as simple as that. You will need to convert gallons of toluene to moles of toluene first.

I think we do that using the ideal gas law, assuming the toluene is a gas.

I have no idea how to do that..and I accidently closed the queston??

joannablackwelder · Answer

Ok, the ideal gas law is PV=nRT, where P is the pressure, V is the volume, n is the moles, R is the gas constant (we look that up depending on the units of the other variables), and T is temp in K. Have you used this law before?
