Answer Key - Stoichiometry Moles Quiz
-
Definition: The amount of substance that contains as many elementary particles (atoms, molecules, ions) as there are atoms in exactly 12g of carbon-12. [1]
-
Mr of Glucose: (6×12)+(12×1)+(6×16)=72+12+96=180. [1]
-
Mass of Na2CO3:
- Mr=(2×23)+12+(3×16)=46+12+48=106
- Mass=moles×Mr=0.25×106=26.5g. [2]
-
Moles of atoms:
- 1 molecule of H2SO4 contains 2+1+4=7 atoms.
- Total moles of atoms =0.1×7=0.7 mol. [1]
-
Mr of Urea: 12+16+2(14+2×1)=28+2(16)=28+32=60. [1]
-
Volume of N2:
- Volume=moles×24 dm3/mol=0.08×24=1.92 dm3. [2]
-
Moles of He:
- Moles=Volume/24=1.2/24=0.05 mol. [2]
-
Concentration of NaOH:
- Mr(NaOH)=23+16+1=40
- Moles=4.0/40=0.1 mol
- Volume=250/1000=0.25 dm3
- Conc=0.1/0.25=0.4 mol/dm3. [3]
-
Mass of KCl:
- Mr(KCl)=39+35.5=74.5
- Moles=Conc×Vol=0.5×(100/1000)=0.05 mol
- Mass=0.05×74.5=3.725g≈3.73g. [3]
-
Gas Identification:
- Moles=3.6/24=0.15 mol
- Mass=0.15×44=6.6g
- Gas is Carbon Dioxide (CO2). [3]
-
Moles of HCl:
- Moles=2.0×(50/1000)=0.1 mol. [2]
-
Particle Comparison:
- Moles of H2=2.0/2=1.0 mol
- Moles of O2=2.0/32=0.0625 mol
- H2 has more particles because it has a lower molar mass, resulting in more moles for the same mass. [3]
-
Balanced Equation: 4Al(s)+3O2(g)→2Al2O3(s). [1]
-
Mass of Mg:
- Ratio Mg:HCl=1:2
- Moles of Mg=0.2/2=0.1 mol
- Mass=0.1×24=2.4g. [3]
-
Volume of O2:
- Ratio H2:O2=2:1
- Volume of O2=10 dm3/2=5.0 dm3. [2]
-
Mass of CaCO3:
- Moles of CO2=1.2/24=0.05 mol
- Ratio CaCO3:CO2=1:1→0.05 mol CaCO3
- Mr(CaCO3)=40+12+(3×16)=100
- Mass=0.05×100=5.0g. [4]
-
Volume of H2:
- Moles of Zn=6.5/65=0.1 mol
- Ratio Zn:H2=1:1→0.1 mol H2
- Volume=0.1×24=2.4 dm3. [3]
-
Volume of NaOH:
- Moles of HCl=0.2×(25/1000)=0.005 mol
- Ratio NaOH:HCl=1:1→0.005 mol NaOH
- Volume=moles/conc=0.005/0.1=0.05 dm3=50 cm3. [3]
-
Limiting Reactant:
- Required Cl2 for 0.3 mol Al=0.3×(3/2)=0.45 mol
- Available Cl2=0.4 mol
- Since 0.4<0.45, Cl2 is the limiting reactant. [3]
-
Mass of AlCl3:
- Use limiting reactant Cl2: Ratio Cl2:AlCl3=3:2
- Moles of AlCl3=0.4×(2/3)=0.267 mol
- Mr(AlCl3)=27+(3×35.5)=133.5
- Mass=0.267×133.5=35.6g. [4]
