A-Level Chemistry H3 Quiz - Stoichiometry Moles (Answer Key)
Total Marks: 40
Level: A-Level H3 (syllabus-first; no past-year evidence)
Section A: Foundations (1 mark each)
Q1. The mole is the amount of substance that contains exactly 6.02×1023 elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).
Teaching note: This number is the Avogadro constant; one mole links macroscopic mass to particle count.
Q2. 6.02×1023 mol−1 (3 s.f.).
Common mistake: Writing without unit or as 6.022 (use 3 s.f. as asked).
Q3. 2C2H6+7O2→4CO2+6H2O
Check: C: 4 both sides, H: 12 both, O: 14 both.
Q4. g mol−1 (grams per mole).
Note: SI base unit is kg mol−1 but chemistry uses g mol−1.
Q5. 22.4 dm3 mol−1 (or 22.4 L mol−1).
Marking: 1 mark for value and unit.
Section B: Calculations (2 marks each)
Q6. n=Mrm=4.004.00=1.00 mol.
Marks: 1 for formula, 1 for answer.
Q7. m=n×Mr=0.250×159.6=39.9 g.
Marks: 1 for method, 1 for answer with unit.
Q8. n(H2)=2.022.00=0.990 mol; ratio 3:2 gives n(NH3)=0.990×32=0.660 mol.
Marks: 1 for mole H2, 1 for stoichiometric conversion.
Q9. c=Vn=0.2500.100=0.400 mol dm−3.
Marks: 1 conversion to dm3, 1 answer.
Q10. Mr(H2O)=18.0; %O =18.016.0×100=88.9%.
Marks: 1 formula, 1 answer.
Q11. C1V1=C2V2⇒0.200×10.0=C2×100.0⇒C2=0.0200 mol dm−3.
Marks: 1 equation, 1 answer.
Q12. Ratio MgCl2:AgCl=1:2, so 0.040×2=0.080 mol.
Marks: 1 ratio, 1 answer.
Q13. Moles: C 40.0/12.0=3.33, H 6.7/1.0=6.7, O 53.3/16.0=3.33. Divide by 3.33 → C:H:O = 1:2:1 → CH2O.
Marks: 1 for mole ratios, 1 for formula.
Q14. n=22.4/22.4=1.00 mol; molecules =1.00×6.02×1023=6.02×1023.
Marks: 1 mole, 1 molecules.
Q15. n(CaCO3)=5.00/100.1=0.0500 mol; n(CO2)=0.0500; V=0.0500×22.4=1.12 dm3.
Marks: 1 moles, 1 volume.
Section C: Extended Reasoning (3 marks each)
Q16. n(Fe)=11.2/56.0=0.200 mol. In Fe2O3, Fe:O = 2:3 → n(O)=0.300 mol; m(O)=0.300×16.0=4.80 g. Empirical formula Fe2O3.
Marks: 1 Fe moles, 1 O mass, 1 formula.
Q17. n(NaOH)=0.100×0.0500=0.00500 mol. From 2:1, n(H2SO4)=0.00250 mol. V=n/c=0.00250/0.100=0.0250 dm3=25.0 cm3.
Marks: 1 NaOH moles, 1 acid moles, 1 volume.
Q18. n(C)=3.00/12.0=0.250 mol; n(O2)=8.00/32.0=0.250 mol. C+O2→CO2 is 1:1, so neither in excess; both fully used, unused = 0 g.
Marks: 1 each for moles, limiting, unused mass.
Q19. Mass of water =249.7−159.6=90.1; x=90.1/18.0=5.00. Name: copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate.
Marks: 1 subtraction, 1 x, 1 name.
Q20. n(Al)=2.70/27.0=0.100 mol; ratio 2:3 → n(Cu)=0.150 mol; m=0.150×63.5=9.53 g. Assumption: Cu2+ in excess, reaction goes to completion.
Marks: 1 moles Al, 1 mass Cu, 1 assumption.
