How many moles are there in 36 g of water? (H = 1, O = 16)
What is the mass of 0.5 mole of carbon dioxide? (C = 12, O = 16)
How many molecules are there in 2 moles of a substance? (Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23.)
A compound contains 40% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen and 53.3% oxygen by mass. Its empirical formula is:
What volume do 2 moles of any ideal gas occupy at STP?
In the reaction 2H2 + O2 -> 2H2O, how many moles of water form from 4 moles of H2 and 1 mole of O2?
What is the molarity of a solution made by dissolving 4 g of NaOH in enough water to make 500 mL? (Na = 23, O = 16, H = 1)
What is the percentage of oxygen by mass in water? (H = 1, O = 16)
How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 1 mole of H₂SO₄?
The empirical formula of a compound with the molecular formula C₆H₁₂O₆ is:
What mass of calcium oxide forms when 100 g of calcium carbonate decomposes completely? (CaCO₃ = 100, CaO = 56)
1. B, 2. B, 3. B, 4. C, 5. A, 6. B, 7. B, 8. B, 9. D, 10. B, 11. A
The molar mass of water is 18 g/mol, so 36 g is 36 / 18 = 2 moles.
The molar mass of CO2 is 44 g/mol, so 0.5 mole has a mass of 22 g.
Number of molecules = 2 x 6.02 x 10^23 = 1.204 x 10^24.
Moles: C = 40/12 = 3.33, H = 6.7/1 = 6.7, O = 53.3/16 = 3.33. The ratio is 1 : 2 : 1, so the empirical formula is CH2O.
One mole of an ideal gas occupies 22.4 dm3 at STP, so two moles occupy 44.8 dm3.
One mole of O2 needs only 2 moles of H2. Oxygen is the limiting reagent and 1 mole of O2 gives 2 moles of water.
4 g / 40 g per mol = 0.1 mol. Dividing by 0.5 L gives 0.2 mol/L.
Mass percentage = 16 / 18 x 100 = 88.9%.
The formula has four oxygen atoms.
Divide all subscripts by 6 to get the simplest ratio, CH₂O.
CaCO₃ gives CaO and CO₂ in a 1 to 1 mole ratio. One mole (100 g) gives one mole (56 g) of CaO.
