O-Level Chemistry Quiz - Stoichiometry Moles (Answer Key)

Total Marks: 40
Topic: Stoichiometry & Moles (Syllabus 4.2)

---

Section A: Mole Concept and Basic Calculations

1. [1 mark] $M_r$ of $CO_2$ = 12 + 2(16) = 44
Teaching note: Relative molecular mass is sum of atomic masses. C=12, O=16. Common mistake: forgetting to multiply O by 2.

2. [2 marks]
$M_r$ of $CH_4$ = 12 + 4(1) = 16
Moles = mass / $M_r$ = 8.0 / 16 = 0.50 mol
Marking: 1 mark for $M_r$, 1 mark for correct moles.

3. [2 marks]
$M_r$ of $NaCl$ = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5
Mass = moles × $M_r$ = 0.50 × 58.5 = 29.25 g
Marking: 1 mark $M_r$, 1 mark answer.

4. [1 mark] 1 mole $O_2$ contains $6.0 \times 10^{23}$ molecules; each has 2 atoms → $1.2 \times 10^{24}$ atoms
Note: Avogadro constant gives molecules, not atoms.

5. [2 marks]
Volume = 250 cm³ = 0.250 dm³
Concentration = mass / volume = 4.0 / 0.250 = 16 g/dm³
Marking: 1 mark conversion, 1 mark answer.

$M_r$ Mg = 24, MgO = 24+16 = 40
Moles Mg = 2.4/24 = 0.10 mol
From eq: 2Mg → 2MgO, so 1:1 → 0.10 mol MgO
Mass MgO = 0.10 × 40 = 4.0 g
Marking: 1 mole Mg, 1 mole ratio, 1 mass.

8. [2 marks]
$M_r$ CaCO₃ = 40+12+48 = 100
Moles = 10.0/100 = 0.10 mol
1 mol CaCO₃ → 1 mol CO₂ → 0.10 mol CO₂

Marking: 1 mole, 1 volume.

9. [2 marks]
Assume 100 g: C=40g, H=6.7g, O=53.3g
Moles: C=40/12=3.33, H=6.7/1=6.7, O=53.3/16=3.33
Ratio = 1 : 2 : 1 → $CH_2O$
Marking: 1 mark moles, 1 mark formula.

10. [3 marks]
