Answer Key

Section A: Multiple Choice Questions

1. (B) 0.10 mol
M(NaOH) = 23 + 16 + 1 = 40 g/mol. n = m / M = 4.0 / 40 = 0.10 mol [1]

2. (C) 24 dm³/mol
At room temperature and pressure (rtp), the molar volume of a gas is 24 dm³/mol. [1]

3. (A) 3.01 × 10²³
Number of molecules = n × L = 0.5 × 6.02 × 10²³ = 3.01 × 10²³ [1]

4. (A) CH₂O
C : H : O = 40.0/12 : 6.7/1 : 53.3/16 = 3.33 : 6.7 : 3.33 = 1 : 2 : 1. Empirical formula = CH₂O [1]

5. (B) 2.0 dm³
n(Mg) = 2.0 / 24 = 0.0833 mol. Mole ratio Mg : H₂ = 1 : 1, so n(H₂) = 0.0833 mol. V = 0.0833 × 24 = 2.0 dm³ [1]

6. (B) 0.50 mol/dm³
Concentration = n / V = 0.25 / (500/1000) = 0.25 / 0.5 = 0.50 mol/dm³ [1]

7. (C) 0.5 mol of CO₂

8. (C) 60
M(C₃H₈O) = (3 × 12) + (8 × 1) + 16 = 36 + 8 + 16 = 60 [1]

9. (B) 11.7 g
n(Na) = 4.6 / 23 = 0.20 mol. Mole ratio Na : NaCl = 2 : 2 = 1 : 1, so n(NaCl) = 0.20 mol. m(NaCl) = 0.20 × (23 + 35.5) = 0.20 × 58.5 = 11.7 g [1]

10. (C) 48%
M(CaCO₃) = 40 + 12 + (3 × 16) = 100. % O = (48 / 100) × 100% = 48% [1]
