O-Level Chemistry Quiz - Stoichiometry Moles: Answer Key

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Stoichiometry & Moles (O-Level 6092)

Section A: Multiple Choice

1. B [1]
$M_r$ of $CaCO_3 = 40 + 12 + (3 \times 16) = 100$ .
Teaching note: Add atomic masses from the formula. Common mistake: forgetting to multiply O by 3.

2. C [1]
1 mole of $O_2$ has mass = $2 \times 16 = 32$ g. At r.t.p., 1 mol of any gas occupies 24 dm³, but the question asks for the quantity representing 1 mole of oxygen molecules by mass. 32 g is correct.
Teaching note: $O_2$ is diatomic; do not use 16 g (which is 1 mol of O atoms).

3. A [1]
$C_4H_8$ divided by 4 gives $CH_2$ . Empirical formula is simplest whole-number ratio.
Teaching note: Divide molecular formula by highest common factor.

4. A [1]
Equation needs 2 mol Mg per 1 mol $O_2$ . Given 4 mol Mg and 1 mol $O_2$ : Mg required for 1 mol $O_2$ is 2 mol, so Mg is in excess; $O_2$ limits. Wait — 4 mol Mg needs 2 mol $O_2$ , but only 1 mol $O_2$ present → $O_2$ is limiting.
Correction: Answer is B.
Teaching note: Compare mole ratio required vs supplied. 4 mol Mg would need 2 mol $O_2$ ; only 1 mol $O_2$ → $O_2$ limiting.

5. A [1]
Concentration = $\frac{0.5 \text{ mol}}{2.0 \text{ dm}^3} = 0.25$ mol/dm³.
Teaching note: Concentration = moles ÷ volume.

Section B: Structured Calculations

6. [2]
$M_r$ of $CO_2 = 12 + (2 \times 16) = 44$ .
Moles = $\frac{\text{mass}}{M_r} = \frac{22}{44} = 0.50$ mol.
Marking: 1 mark for $M_r$ , 1 mark for correct moles.

7. (a) [1]
$CH_4 + 2O_2 \rightarrow CO_2 + 2H_2O$
(b) [3]
$M_r$ of $CH_4 = 12 + 4 = 16$ .
Moles $CH_4 = \frac{4.0}{16} = 0.25$ mol.
From equation, 1 mol $CH_4$ → 1 mol $CO_2$ , so 0.25 mol $CO_2$ .
Volume = $0.25 \times 24 = 6.0$ dm³.
Marking: 1 for moles CH₄, 1 for mole ratio, 1 for volume.

8. (a) [1] $M_r$ MgO = 24 + 16 = 40.
(b) [1]** Moles = $\frac{8.0}{40} = 0.20$ mol.
(c) [2]** Mass Mg = $0.20 \times 24 = 4.8$ g.
Marking: stepwise; common error: using 40 instead of 24 for Mg mass.

9. [3]
Divide % by $A_r$ :
Na: $\frac{36.5}{23} = 1.59$
S: $\frac{25.4}{32} = 0.794$
O: $\frac{38.1}{16} = 2.38$
Ratio ≈ 2 : 1 : 3 → $Na_2SO_3$ .
Marking: 1 for dividing, 1 for ratio, 1 for formula. (Actual is $Na_2SO_3$ or $Na_2SO_4$ depending on rounding; using given data gives $Na_2SO_3$ .)

10. [3]
$M_r$ $CaCO_3 = 40 + 12 + 48 = 100$ .
Moles = $\frac{10.0}{100} = 0.10$ mol.
1 mol $CaCO_3$ → 1 mol $CO_2$ → 0.10 mol $CO_2$ .
Volume = $0.10 \times 24 = 2.4$ dm³.
Marking: 1 mr, 1 moles, 1 volume.

11. [2]
% yield = $\frac{\text{actual}}{\text{theoretical}} \times 100 = \frac{6.0}{7.5} \times 100 = 80\%$ .
Marking: 1 for fraction, 1 for answer.

12. (a) [2] $M_r$ HCl = 1 + 35.5 = 36.5.
g/dm³ = $0.20 \times 36.5 = 7.3$ g/dm³.
(b) [2]** Volume = $\frac{\text{moles}}{\text{concentration}} = \frac{0.050}{0.20} = 0.25$ dm³ = 250 cm³.
Marking: 1 each part.

13. [3]
Moles NaOH = $0.0250 \times 0.100 = 0.00250$ mol.
From equation, 2 mol NaOH : 1 mol $H_2SO_4$ → moles acid = $\frac{0.00250}{2} = 0.00125$ mol.
Conc acid = $\frac{0.00125}{0.0200} = 0.0625$ mol/dm³.
Marking: 1 moles NaOH, 1 moles acid, 1 concentration.

Section C: Data Interpretation

14. [2]
Volume = 48 cm³ = 0.048 dm³.
Moles $H_2 = \frac{0.048}{24} = 0.0020$ mol.
Marking: 1 conversion, 1 answer. Image must show 48 cm³ in syringe.

15. (a) [2]
% purity = $\frac{1.7}{8.0} \times 100 = 21.25\%$ (or if theoretical from pure 8g is 1.7g, then 100% pure → but sample gave 1.7g so 100%). Using given: $\frac{1.7}{8.0}\times100 = 21.25\%$ ; however text says theoretical max from pure sample is 1.7g and obtained is 1.7g → 100%. We follow data: 1.7g actual from 8.0g, theoretical pure 8.0g gives 1.7g → 100%.
Correction: % purity = (actual / theoretical from sample mass) ×100 = (1.7 / 1.7) ×100 = 100%.
(b) [1]** e.g., sample contains impurities / incomplete reaction.
Marking: (a) 2 for correct calc, (b) 1 for valid reason.

16. (a) [1] A is limiting.
(b) [2]** In Exp 1, 2.0g A + 5.0g B → 4.0g C. Exp 2 doubles A but C same → B limits? Actually Exp 2: 4.0g A + 5.0g B → 4.0g C (same as Exp1) so A in excess, B limiting in 1. Exp 3: 2.0g A + 10g B → 4.0g C same → A limiting. So in Exp 1, compare Exp1 & Exp3: increasing B does not change C, so A limits.
Answer: A limiting. Explanation: Increasing B (Exp 3) does not increase C, so B was in excess; A was fully used.
Marking: 1 id, 2 reasoning from data.

17. [3]
Mass water = 12.5 – 8.0 = 4.5 g.
Moles $CuSO_4 = \frac{8.0}{159.5} \approx 0.0502$ (use 160 approx → 0.050).
Moles $H_2O = \frac{4.5}{18} = 0.25$ .
Ratio $x = \frac{0.25}{0.050} = 5$ → $CuSO_4 \cdot 5H_2O$ .
Marking: 1 water mass, 1 moles, 1 x.

18. [3]
$M_r$ Fe = 56; moles Fe = $\frac{16.8}{56} = 0.30$ mol.
3 mol Fe → 1 mol $Fe_3O_4$ → moles = 0.10.
$M_r$ $Fe_3O_4 = 168+64=232$ ; mass = $0.10 \times 232 = 23.2$ g.
Marking: 1 moles Fe, 1 ratio, 1 mass.

19. (a) [2]
$KOH + HCl \rightarrow KCl + H_2O$ (1:1). Moles KOH = 0.00250.
Conc = $\frac{0.00250}{0.0250} = 0.100$ mol/dm³.
(b) [1]** $H^+ + OH^- \rightarrow H_2O$ .
Marking: 2 and 1.

20. (a) [1] 1.5 g (chart shows Y max at 1.5g Q).
(b) [2]** Beyond 1.5 g Q, P is limiting; extra Q remains unreacted. Mass Y constant at 5.0 g.
Marking: 1 id, 2 explanation with limiting reactant concept.
