Answers

Answer Key - Secondary 3 Chemistry Quiz: Stoichiometry Moles

1. Definition of Relative Atomic Mass

The average mass of one atom of an element compared to 1/12th the mass of an atom of carbon-12. [1]

2. $M_r$ Calculation

$\text{Cu}(64) + \text{S}(32) + 4 \times \text{O}(16) + 5 \times (\text{H}_2\text{O}(18))$
$64 + 32 + 64 + 90 = 250$ [1]

3. Moles from Particles

$\text{Moles} = \text{Number of particles} / L$
$3.01 \times 10^{23} / 6.02 \times 10^{23} = 0.50\text{ mol}$ [1]

4. Molar Gas Volume

$24\text{ dm}^3$ (or $24,000\text{ cm}^3$ ) [1]

5. Mass Calculation

$M_r$ of $\text{CaCO}_3 = 40 + 12 + (3 \times 16) = 100$
$\text{Mass} = \text{moles} \times M_r = 0.25 \times 100 = 25\text{g}$ [2]

6. Empirical Formula

$\text{C}: 40/12 = 3.33$
$\text{H}: 6.7/1 = 6.7$
$\text{O}: 53.3/16 = 3.33$
Ratio $\text{C:H:O} = 1:2:1 \rightarrow \text{CH}_2\text{O}$ [3]

7. Empirical from Molecular

$\text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6$ simplified is $\text{CH}_2\text{O}$ [1]

8. Molecular Formula

$M_r$ of $\text{CH}_2\text{O} = 12 + 2 + 16 = 30$
$180 / 30 = 6$
$\text{Formula} = (\text{CH}_2\text{O})_6 = \text{C}_6\text{H}_{12}\text{O}_6$ [2]

9. Isotopes Explanation

Chlorine exists as two main isotopes, $\text{Cl-35}$ and $\text{Cl-37}$ . [1]
The relative atomic mass is a weighted average of these isotopes based on their abundance. [1]

10. Hydrocarbon Empirical Formula

$\text{C}: 85.7/12 = 7.14$
$\text{H}: 14.3/1 = 14.3$
Ratio $\text{C:H} = 1:2 \rightarrow \text{CH}_2$ [3]

11. Balancing Equation

$2\text{Al} + 3\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \rightarrow \text{Al}_2(\text{SO}_4)_3 + 3\text{H}_2$ [1]

12. Reacting Mass

$\text{Mg} + 1/2\text{O}_2 \rightarrow \text{MgO}$
$\text{Moles Mg} = 4.8 / 24 = 0.2\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Moles MgO} = 0.2\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Mass MgO} = 0.2 \times (24+16) = 0.2 \times 40 = 8.0\text{g}$ [1]

13. Gas Volume

$\text{Zn} + 2\text{HCl} \rightarrow \text{ZnCl}_2 + \text{H}_2$
$\text{Moles } \text{H}_2 = \text{moles Zn} = 0.1\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Volume} = 0.1 \times 24 = 2.4\text{ dm}^3$ [1]

14. Identifying Metal X

$\text{Mass of Cl} = 4.5 - 2.0 = 2.5\text{g}$ [1]
$\text{Moles Cl} = 2.5 / 35.5 = 0.0704\text{ mol}$
$\text{Moles X} = 0.0704 / 2 = 0.0352\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Ar of X} = 2.0 / 0.0352 = 56.8\text{g/mol}$ (Closest to $\text{Fe}$ or $\text{Mn}$ , but based on $\text{XCl}_2$ and common Sec 3 metals, likely $\text{Mg}$ if numbers were different; here, result suggests $\text{Fe}$ / $\text{Mn}$ range. Note: In a real exam, numbers are tuned to match exactly). [1]

15. Reacting Mass (KNO3)

$\text{KOH} + \text{HNO}_3 \rightarrow \text{KNO}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
$\text{Moles KOH} = 2.3 / 56 = 0.041\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Moles } \text{KNO}_3 = 0.041\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Mass } \text{KNO}_3 = 0.041 \times (39+14+48) = 0.041 \times 101 = 4.14\text{g}$ [1]

16. Moles in Solution

$\text{n} = c \times V = 0.20 \times (25/1000) = 0.005\text{ mol}$ [2]

17. Concentration Calculation

$c = n / V = 0.05 / (250/1000) = 0.05 / 0.25 = 0.2\text{ mol/dm}^3$ [2]

18. Titration Calculation

$\text{HCl} + \text{NaOH} \rightarrow \text{NaCl} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$
$\text{Moles HCl} = 0.10 \times (20/1000) = 0.002\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Moles NaOH} = 0.002\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Conc NaOH} = 0.002 / (25/1000) = 0.08\text{ mol/dm}^3$ [1]

19. Percentage Yield

$\text{Yield} = (8.2 / 10.0) \times 100 = 82\%$ [2]

20. Percentage Purity

$2\text{KClO}_3 \rightarrow 2\text{KCl} + 3\text{O}_2$
$\text{Moles KCl} = 3.0 / 74.5 = 0.0403\text{ mol}$ [1]
$\text{Moles } \text{KClO}_3 = 0.0403 / 1 = 0.0403\text{ mol}$ (Wait, ratio is 2:2, so 1:1) [1]
$\text{Pure mass } \text{KClO}_3 = 0.0403 \times 122.5 = 4.93\text{g}$
$\text{Purity} = (4.93 / 5.0) \times 100 = 98.6\%$ [1]
