Total Marks: 40
Topic: Stoichiometry & Moles (Syllabus 9476 Core Idea 3 / Topic 6)

Section A: Short Calculations (Q1–5)

Q1. [2 marks]
Moles $= \frac{\text{mass}}{M_r} = \frac{12.0}{12.0} = 1.00\ \text{mol}$ .
Teaching note: Mole amount $= \text{mass} \div \text{molar mass}$ . Carbon-12 has $M_r = 12.0$ .

Q2. [2 marks]
Mass $= \text{moles} \times M_r = 0.250 \times 159.5 = 39.9\ \text{g}$ (3 s.f.).
Teaching note: Rearranged $n = m/M_r$ to $m = n \times M_r$ .

Q3. [2 marks]
Atoms $= 0.500 \times 6.02 \times 10^{23} = 3.01 \times 10^{23}$ atoms.

Q4. [2 marks]
Moles $= \frac{3.01 \times 10^{23}}{6.02 \times 10^{23}} = 0.500\ \text{mol}$ .
Teaching note: Divide molecule count by Avogadro constant.

Q5. [2 marks]
$M_r = 24.3 + 2(14.0 + 3 \times 16.0) = 24.3 + 2(62.0) = 148.3\ \text{g mol}^{-1}$ .

Volume $= 0.0494 \times 24.0 = 1.19\ \text{dm}^3$
Mark breakdown: 1 mol Mg calc; 1 ratio; 1 vol. Common mistake: wrong $M_r$ or forgetting 1:1.

Marks: 1 each step. Common error: forgetting 2:1 stoichiometry.

Q9. [4 marks]

Mol $\text{C}_3\text{H}_8 = 4.00 / 44.0 = 0.0909\ \text{mol}$
Mol $\text{CO}_2 = 3 \times 0.0909 = 0.273\ \text{mol}$

Q10. [4 marks]

Mol $\text{MgSO}_4 = 1.38 / 120.4 = 0.0115\ \text{mol}$
Mol $\text{H}_2\text{O} = 1.08 / 18.0 = 0.0600\ \text{mol}$
Ratio $x = 0.0600 / 0.0115 = 5.22 \approx 5$ → $x = 5$
Marking: 1 each mol; 1 ratio; 1 integer $x$ . Accept $x=5$ (hydrate rounding).

Q11. [4 marks]

Mol C in $\text{CO}_2 = 17.6 / 44.0 = 0.400\ \text{mol C}$

Ratio C:H $= 0.400 : 1.00 = 2:5$ → $\text{C}_2\text{H}_5$
Marking: 1 CO₂ calc; 1 H calc; 1 mol H; 1 EF. Common mistake: not doubling H atoms.

Q12. [3 marks]

Conc $\text{g dm}^{-3} = 8.50 / 0.250 = 34.0\ \text{g dm}^{-3}$
Mol $= 8.50 / 85.0 = 0.100\ \text{mol}$ ; conc $= 0.100 / 0.250 = 0.400\ \text{mol dm}^{-3}$
Marking: 1 g/dm³; 1 mol; 1 mol/dm³.

Marking: 1 moles; 1 mol ppt; 1 mass. Watch unit conversion (cm³→dm³).

Q15. [4 marks]

Mol $\text{CaO} = 0.610 / 56.1 = 0.0109\ \text{mol}$
Mol $\text{CaCO}_3 = 0.0109\ \text{mol}$ (1:1)
Mass pure $= 0.0109 \times 100.1 = 1.09\ \text{g}$
Purity $= (1.09 / 0.500) \times 100 = 218\%$ → error check: use original 0.500 g → 109% impossible; re-evaluate: sample is impure so max 100%. Correct: actual pure $= 1.09\ \text{g} > 0.500\ \text{g}$ means assumption error; use Ca from CaO: mol Ca $= 0.0109$ , mass $\text{CaCO}_3 = 0.0109 \times 100.1 = 1.09\ \text{g}$ exceeds sample → data inconsistent; cap at 100%.
Marking: method marks given; note data likely mis-stated. Teaching: stoichiometric link CaO→CaCO₃ 1:1.
