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

1.
Moles of SO₂ = 0.250 mol
Atoms per molecule of SO₂ = 1 (S) + 2 (O) = 3 atoms
Total moles of atoms = $0.250 \times 3 = 0.750$ mol

2.
Mass of water lost = $2.86 - 1.06 = 1.80$ g

6.
Moles $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4$ = $0.100 \times (25.0/1000) = 0.00250$ mol
From equation, ratio $\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 : \text{NaOH} = 1 : 2$
Moles NaOH = $0.00250 \times 2 = 0.00500$ mol
Concentration NaOH = $0.00500 / (20.0/1000) = 0.00500 / 0.0200 = 0.250$ mol dm⁻³

8.
Moles $\text{BaCl}_2$ = $0.200 \times 0.050 = 0.0100$ mol
Moles $\text{Na}_2\text{SO}_4$ = $0.200 \times 0.050 = 0.0100$ mol
Ratio 1:1, so no limiting reagent (or both fully react).
Moles $\text{BaSO}_4$ = 0.0100 mol
Molar mass $\text{BaSO}_4$ = $137.3 + 32.1 + (4 \times 16.0) = 233.4$ g mol⁻¹

9.
Moles HCl initial = $1.00 \times (50.0/1000) = 0.0500$ mol
Moles NaOH used = $0.500 \times (20.0/1000) = 0.0100$ mol
Moles HCl excess = Moles NaOH = 0.0100 mol (1:1 reaction)
Moles HCl reacted with $\text{CaCO}_3$ = $0.0500 - 0.0100 = 0.0400$ mol
Equation: $\text{CaCO}_3 + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{CaCl}_2 + \text{H}_2\text{O} + \text{CO}_2$
Ratio $\text{CaCO}_3 : \text{HCl} = 1 : 2$
Moles $\text{CaCO}_3$ = $0.0400 / 2 = 0.0200$ mol
Mass pure $\text{CaCO}_3$ = $0.0200 \times 100.1 = 2.002$ g? Wait.
Correction: Molar mass $\text{CaCO}_3$ = $40.1+12.0+48.0 = 100.1$ g/mol.
Mass = $0.0200 \times 100.1 = 2.002$ g. This exceeds sample mass (1.00g).
Re-check calculation:
Moles HCl initial = 0.050. Moles excess = 0.010. Reacted = 0.040.
Moles CaCO3 = 0.020. Mass = 2.00g.
Note: The question data implies >100% purity or error in hypothetical data setup. Let's adjust standard expectation:
If sample was 5.00g, purity = $(2.002/5.00)*100 = 40.0\%$ .
Given 1.00g sample, the calculation yields 200% purity, indicating an error in the hypothetical numbers provided in the prompt's scenario or the student must note the anomaly.
Standard Answer Logic:
Mass pure = 2.00 g.
% Purity = $(2.00 / 1.00) \times 100 = 200\%$ .
(Note to teacher: In a real exam, numbers would be balanced, e.g., 10cm3 NaOH used. If 10cm3 NaOH: Excess HCl = 0.005. Reacted = 0.045. Moles CaCO3 = 0.0225. Mass = 2.25g. Still high. Let's assume 40cm3 NaOH used. Excess = 0.02. Reacted = 0.03. Moles CaCO3 = 0.015. Mass = 1.5g. Still high. Let's assume 0.1M HCl. Initial HCl = 0.005. Excess = 0.01? No.
Let's stick to the method marks.)

Burette: Rinsing with titrant ensures the concentration of the solution in the burette is not diluted by residual water, which would change the molarity and affect titration results.
Conical Flask: Rinsing with distilled water does not change the number of moles of analyte present in the flask. Adding more water dilutes the solution but does not alter the stoichiometric amount of substance reacting.

Ratio $\text{N}_2 : \text{H}_2 = 1 : 3$ .
Required $\text{H}_2$ for 10 dm³ $\text{N}_2$ = 30 dm³.
Available $\text{H}_2$ = 25 dm³.
Therefore, $\text{H}_2$ is limiting.
Volume $\text{NH}_3$ produced: Ratio $\text{H}_2 : \text{NH}_3 = 3 : 2$ .
Vol $\text{NH}_3$ = $(2/3) \times 25.0 = 16.7$ dm³

$\rho = 1.80 \text{ g dm}^{-3} = 1.80 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$ ? No, keep consistent.
$pV = nRT \Rightarrow pV = (m/M)RT \Rightarrow M = mRT/pV = \rho RT/p$
$\rho = 1.80 \text{ g dm}^{-3} = 1.80 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$ is wrong. $1 \text{ g dm}^{-3} = 1 \text{ kg m}^{-3}$ . Yes.
$T = 27 + 273 = 300$ K
$p = 100 \text{ kPa} = 100,000$ Pa
$M = (1.80 \times 8.31 \times 300) / 100,000$
$M = 4487.4 / 100,000 = 0.04487$ kg mol⁻¹

Molar mass $\text{CaC}_2$ = $40.1 + 24.0 = 64.1$ g mol⁻¹
Moles $\text{CaC}_2$ = $2.00 / 64.1 = 0.0312$ mol
Ratio $\text{CaC}_2 : \text{C}_2\text{H}_2 = 1 : 1$
Moles $\text{C}_2\text{H}_2$ = 0.0312 mol

Because the molar masses of AgCl and AgBr are different, and the initial masses of NaCl and NaBr are unknown, a single mass balance equation is insufficient. Two variables (mass of NaCl, mass of NaBr) require two independent equations (total initial mass and total precipitate mass) to solve.
