1.
Answer:
C
Molar mass of carbon dioxide = 44, 66 g contains 1.5 mole of CO2 molecules and each molecules contains 3
atoms. Totally there are 1.5 x 3 = 4.5 moles of atoms

2.
Answer:
A
Molar mass of glucose
= (6 x 12) + (12 x 1) + (6 x 16)
= 180 g
0.1 mole of glucose
= 180 x 0.1
= 18 g

Answer:
B
Percentage mass of oxygen in copper (II) nitrate
= 6 x 16.0 / [(1 x 63.5) + (2 x 14.0) + (6 x 16.0)] x 100%

Mass of oxygen in 5 g of copper (II) nitrate
= 51.2% x 5
= 2.56 g

Answer:
C
Mass of anhydrous sulphate = 4.878 g
Mole ratio of anhydrous magnesium sulphate : water = 4.878/(24+32+64) : 5.122/18
=1:7

13.
Solution:
Mass of oxygen reacted = 2.32 – 1.68 = 0.64 g
Number of moles of A = 1.68/56 = 0.03
Number of moles of oxygen = 0.64/16 = 0.04
Number of moles of A: O = 3 : 4
Formula of the oxide = A3O4
Equation: 3 A + 2 O2 → A3O4

14.
Solution:
mass of water of crystallization = 5.122 g
number of moles of water = 5.122/18
number of moles of salt = 4.878/(X+32+64)
number of moles of salt : water = 1 : 7
relative atomic mass of X = 24

15.
Solutions:
(i) Compound A: MgS magnesium sulphide
Compound B: CS2 carbon disulphide
(ii) Compound A: giant ionic structure
Compound B: giant covalent structure
(b)
 (i) In compound A MgS:
Molar mass of compound A
= 24.3 + 32.1
= 56.4
Number of moles of compound A
= 14.1 / 56.4
= 0.25
So, the number of moles of sulphur ions in MgS
= 0.25
In compound B CS 2:
Molar mass of compound B
= 12.0 + (32.1 x 2)
= 76.2
Number of moles of compound B
= 15.24 / 76.2
= 0.2
Number of moles of CS 2 molecules
= 0.2
Since one molecule of CS 2 contains two sulphur atoms, so the number of
moles of sulphur atoms in compound B is
2 x 0.2 = 0.4
(ii) Compound A is insoluble in the tetrachloromethane and sinks to the bottom
of the test tube. While compound B is soluble in the tetrachloromethane.
(iii) Compound A consists of giant lattice of ions held together by strong ionic bonds.
While compound B consists of molecules with weak Van der Waals forces hold
the molecules together. Since tetrachloromethane is a non-polar substance, so
there is no force of attraction between the non-polar molecules and the ions in
compound A. But these non-polar molecules can mix with the molecules of
compound B because only weak Van der Waals forces exist between their
molecules. So, the molecules of compound B and tetrachloromethane can mix
together easily.

16.
Solutions:
(a) NaCl sodium chloride
(b) 2 Na(s) + Cl2 (g)  2NaCl
(c) No. of moles of NaCl
= 737 / (23 + 35.5)
= 12.60
No. of moles of Na
= No. of moles of NaCl
= 12.60
Weight of Na
= 12.60 x 23
= 289.8 g

17.
Solutions:
(a) Mg3N2
(b) 3 Mg + N2 → Mg3N2
(c) mass of magnesium reacted to form magnesium nitride = 0.5 g
number of moles of magnesium reacted = 0.5/24
number of moles of magnesium nitride formed = 0.5/(24 x 3)
mass of magnesium nitride formed = (24 x 3 + 14 x 2) x 0.5/(24 x 3)
= 0.694 g

18.
Solutions:
(a) 2 HCl + CaCO3 → CaCl2 + H2O + CO2
(b) One of the products in the reaction is gas. Escape of this gaseous product reduced the mass of the reaction
content.
(c) Mass of carbon dioxide formed = 3.96 g
number of moles of carbon dioxide formed = 3.96/44 = 0.09
number of moles of calcium carbonate reacted = 0.09
mass of calcium carbonate in the sample = 9 g
Percentage of calcium carbonate in the sample = 90%

19.
Solutions:
(a) To remove any oxide layer present that may interfere the result.
(b) mass of metal X = 31.46 – 29.36 = 2.1 g
number of mole of X = 2.1/56
mass of oxide formed = 32.26 – 29. 36 = 2.9 g
mass of oxygen in the oxide = 2.9 – 2.1 = 0.8 g
number of moles of X : O = 2.1/56 : 0.8 / 16
= 0.0375 : 0.05
=3:4
Empirical formula = X3O4
(c) Insufficient supply of oxygen and thus the metal was not completely reacted.
The metal may form more than 1 oxide, i.e. mixture of oxides was formed and therefore the calculated
result might not be accurate.

20.
Solutions:
(a) Gold is at the bottom of the reactivity series. This means that it does not readily form compounds with
other substances, such as oxygen for example. Gold, therefore, occurs as a free metal in the Earth. The
metal can be easily isolated and identified, which accounts for its early discovery. Sodium, however, is at
the top of the series: it is a very reactive metal and readily forms compounds with other substances.
Sodium is not found in a free state. Its existence was therefore not obvious in ancient times. Only more
recently has it been possible to extract this metal.
(i) Iron is too reactive that it forms oxide with oxygen in air very easily.
(ii) 2C(s) + O2 (g) ---> 2CO(g)
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) ---> 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)
(iii) Molar mass of Fe2O3
= 55.8 x 2 + 16 x 3
= 159.6
Number of moles of Fe2O3
= (960 x 1000) / 159.6
= 6015
From: Fe2O3 (s) + 3CO(g) ---> 2Fe(s) + 3CO2(g)
Number of moles of Fe formed
= 2 x 6015
= 12 030
Mass of Fe
= 12 030 x 55.8
(b) = 671 274 g
