A-Level Chemistry H2 Quiz - Stoichiometry Moles (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Stoichiometry & Moles (Syllabus 9476 Core Idea 3, Topic 6)
Note: This is syllabus-first generated practice content; not from past-year papers.

Section A: Basic Mole Calculations

Q1. [2 marks]
Molar mass CaCO₃ = 40.1 + 12.0 + 3(16.0) = 100.1 g mol⁻¹
Moles = mass / Mᵣ = 5.00 / 100.1 = 0.04995 ≈ 0.0500 mol
Marking: 1 mark for Mᵣ, 1 mark for correct moles to 3 s.f.

Q2. [2 marks]
Molar mass CuSO₄ = 63.5 + 32.1 + 4(16.0) = 159.6 g mol⁻¹
Mass = n × Mᵣ = 0.250 × 159.6 = 39.9 g
Marking: 1 mark Mᵣ, 1 mark answer.

Q3. [2 marks]
Atoms = n × N_A = 2.00 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 1.20 × 10²⁴ atoms
Marking: 1 for method, 1 for answer with unit.

Q4. [2 marks]
Moles = N / N_A = 3.01 × 10²³ / 6.02 × 10²³ = 0.500 mol
Marking: 1 method, 1 answer.

Q5. [2 marks]
pV = nRT → V = nRT / p
V = (0.500 × 8.31 × 298) / 100 = 12.38 ≈ 12.4 dm³
Marking: 1 for rearrangement + sub, 1 for answer. Note p in kPa = 100,000 Pa but R in J uses Pa; here using p=100 kPa directly with R=8.31 gives dm³ if p in kPa. Accept 12.4 dm³.
