Answer Key - Secondary 4 Pure Chemistry Quiz: Stoichiometry Moles

Section A: Fundamental Concepts

The amount of substance that contains as many elementary entities (atoms, molecules, ions) as there are atoms in 12g of Carbon-12, which is $6.02 \times 10^{23}$ . [1]
$63.5 + 32 + (4 \times 16) + 5(18) = 249.5$ (Accept 250). [1]
$M_r(\text{Na}_2\text{CO}_3) = 106$ . $\text{Moles} = 12.5 / 106 = 0.118\text{ mol}$ . [2]
$\text{Moles} = 480 / 24000 = 0.02\text{ mol}$ . [2]
$M_r(\text{Al}_2\text{O}_3) = 102$ . $\text{Mass} = 0.25 \times 102 = 25.5\text{ g}$ . [2]

Section B: Formulae and Gas Laws

$\text{C}: 40/12 = 3.33$ ; $\text{H}: 6.7/1 = 6.7$ ; $\text{O}: 53.3/16 = 3.33$ . Ratio $1:2:1$ . Formula: $\text{CH}_2\text{O}$ . [3]
$M_r = (2 \times 12) + (4 \times 1) + (2 \times 16) = 60$ . [1]
Arrangement: Particles are far apart/widely spaced. Movement: Move randomly in all directions at high speeds. [2]
Ratio $\text{Metal}:\text{O} = 0.15 : 0.20 = 3 : 4$ . Formula: $\text{M}_3\text{O}_4$ . [2]
According to the kinetic particle theory, gas particles are so far apart that the volume of the particles themselves is negligible; thus, the volume depends on the number of particles (moles), temperature, and pressure, not the identity of the gas. [2]

Section C: Stoichiometry and Reacting Masses

$\text{Mg(s)} + 2\text{HCl(aq)} \rightarrow \text{MgCl}_2\text{(aq)} + \text{H}_2\text{(g)}$ . [2]
$\text{Ratio Mg:HCl} = 1:2$ . $\text{Moles Mg} = 0.10 / 2 = 0.05\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Mass} = 0.05 \times 24 = 1.2\text{ g}$ . [3]
$\text{Moles Mg} = 2.4 / 24 = 0.1\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Ratio Mg:H}_2 = 1:1$ . $\text{Vol H}_2 = 0.1 \times 24 = 2.4\text{ dm}^3$ . [3]
$\text{CaCO}_3 \rightarrow \text{CaO} + \text{CO}_2$ . $\text{Moles CaCO}_3 = 5.0 / 100 = 0.05\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Moles CaO} = 0.05\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Mass CaO} = 0.05 \times 56 = 2.8\text{ g}$ . [3]
Limiting reactant is A. Based on the equation $2\text{A} + \text{B} \rightarrow \text{C}$ , $0.5\text{ mol}$ of B requires $1.0\text{ mol}$ of A. Since only $0.5\text{ mol}$ of A is available, A will be consumed first. [3]

Section D: Solutions, Purity, and Yield

$\text{Moles NaOH} = 4.0 / 40 = 0.1\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Vol} = 0.25\text{ dm}^3$ . $\text{Conc} = 0.1 / 0.25 = 0.4\text{ mol/dm}^3$ . [3]
$\text{Moles H}_2\text{SO}_4 = 0.10 \times (25/1000) = 0.0025\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Ratio H}_2\text{SO}_4:\text{KOH} = 1:2$ . $\text{Moles KOH} = 0.005\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Conc KOH} = 0.005 / (20/1000) = 0.25\text{ mol/dm}^3$ . [4]
$\text{Moles CO}_2 = 0.12 / 24 = 0.005\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Moles MgCO}_3 = 0.005\text{ mol}$ . $\text{Pure mass} = 0.005 \times 84 = 0.42\text{ g}$ . $\text{\% Purity} = (0.42 / 2.00) \times 100 = 21\%$ . [4]
$\text{\% Yield} = (12.3 / 15.0) \times 100 = 82\%$ . [2]
$\text{Number of units} = 240,000 / 100 = 2,400$ . [2]
