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 $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions, etc.).
Teaching note: This number is the Avogadro constant; one mole links macroscopic mass to particle count.

Q2. $6.02 \times 10^{23}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$ (3 s.f.).
Common mistake: Writing without unit or as $6.022$ (use 3 s.f. as asked).

Q3. $2C_2H_6 + 7O_2 \rightarrow 4CO_2 + 6H_2O$
Check: C: 4 both sides, H: 12 both, O: 14 both.

Q4. $\text{g}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$ (grams per mole).
Note: SI base unit is $\text{kg}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$ but chemistry uses $\text{g}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$.

Q5. $22.4\ \text{dm}^3\ \text{mol}^{-1}$ (or $22.4\ \text{L}\ \text{mol}^{-1}$).
Marking: 1 mark for value and unit.

Section B: Calculations (2 marks each)

Q6. $n = \frac{m}{M_r} = \frac{4.00}{4.00} = 1.00\ \text{mol}$.
Marks: 1 for formula, 1 for answer.

Q7. $m = n \times M_r = 0.250 \times 159.6 = 39.9\ \text{g}$.
Marks: 1 for method, 1 for answer with unit.

Q8. $n(H_2) = \frac{2.00}{2.02} = 0.990\ \text{mol}$; ratio $3:2$ gives $n(NH_3) = 0.990 \times \frac{2}{3} = 0.660\ \text{mol}$.
Marks: 1 for mole H2, 1 for stoichiometric conversion.

Q9. $c = \frac{n}{V} = \frac{0.100}{0.250} = 0.400\ \text{mol}\ \text{dm}^{-3}$.
Marks: 1 conversion to $\text{dm}^3$, 1 answer.

Q10. $M_r(H_2O) = 18.0$; %O $= \frac{16.0}{18.0} \times 100 = 88.9\%$.
Marks: 1 formula, 1 answer.

Q11. $C_1V_1 = C_2V_2 \Rightarrow 0.200 \times 10.0 = C_2 \times 100.0 \Rightarrow C_2 = 0.0200\ \text{mol}\ \text{dm}^{-3}$.
Marks: 1 equation, 1 answer.

Q12. Ratio $MgCl_2 : AgCl = 1 : 2$, so $0.040 \times 2 = 0.080\ \text{mol}$.
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 → $CH_2O$.
Marks: 1 for mole ratios, 1 for formula.

Q14. $n = 22.4 / 22.4 = 1.00\ \text{mol}$; molecules $= 1.00 \times 6.02\times10^{23} = 6.02\times10^{23}$.
Marks: 1 mole, 1 molecules.

Q15. $n(CaCO_3) = 5.00/100.1 = 0.0500\ \text{mol}$; $n(CO_2)=0.0500$; $V = 0.0500 \times 22.4 = 1.12\ \text{dm}^3$.
Marks: 1 moles, 1 volume.

Section C: Extended Reasoning (3 marks each)

Q16. $n(Fe) = 11.2/56.0 = 0.200\ \text{mol}$. In $Fe_2O_3$, Fe:O = 2:3 → $n(O)=0.300\ \text{mol}$; $m(O)=0.300\times16.0=4.80\ \text{g}$. Empirical formula $Fe_2O_3$.
Marks: 1 Fe moles, 1 O mass, 1 formula.

Marks: 1 NaOH moles, 1 acid moles, 1 volume.

Q18. $n(C)=3.00/12.0=0.250\ \text{mol}$; $n(O_2)=8.00/32.0=0.250\ \text{mol}$. $C+O_2\rightarrow CO_2$ 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 moles Al, 1 mass Cu, 1 assumption.
