Chapter 22

1. If you had 100 typical atoms, the total mass would be (60.2 x 69) + (39.8 x 71) = 6980 (3 sig figs)
RAM is therefore 6980/100 = 69.8

2. If you had 100 atoms of Si-28 and the others in the correct proportion, the total number of atoms
would be 100+5.10+3.36 = 108.46
The total mass would be (100 x 28) + (5.10 x 29) + (3.36 x 30) = 3048.7
RAM = 3048.7/108.46 = 28.1

3. a) The relative atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of the
element. It is measured on a scale on which a carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 units.
b) Repeat the sum in Q1 twice to give Cu = 63.6 and S = 32.1. Add these together to give CuS =
95.7

4. a) 44
b) 132
c) 286
d) 392
e) 392
(The common mistakes in c) and e) would be not to multiply the whole water molecule by 10 or 6.
So for example in c) the mass of the 10H 2O is 180. Students will commonly and wrongly come up
with 36 for this by multiplying the H 2 by 10 but not the O as well. Work out the mass of the whole
H2O first and then multiply it by the number in front. That way you wont make this mistake.)

5. a) 81.8%
b) 51.2%
(In each case, work out the M r and the mass of the element you are interested in and find the
percentage.)

6. a) 46.7%
b) 13.9%
c) 35%
d) 21.2%
(Be careful of the cases where there are two nitrogen atoms in the fertiliser (all except KNO 3).
The masses of the nitrogen in those cases will be 28 and not 14.)

7. In each case, work out the M r by adding up the RAMs, and then attach the unit g to give the
mass of 1 mole. Then scale it by multiplying by the number of moles you want.
a) 331 g
b) 68.8 g
c) 68.64 g
(In c), the Mr should be 286. Care with the water! See above. Strictly, this number shouldnt be
quoted to more than 2 significant figures, because the number of moles is only quoted to that
accuracy.)
8. In each case, work out the mass of 1 mole as above, and then work out how many moles youve
got in the stated mass.
a) 0.2
b) 17900 ( or 17857 although this is accurate to more significant figures than the RAM). You have
to divide 1,000,000 grams by 56 g (the mass of 1 mole of Fe)
c) 5 x 10-4 (0.0005)

9. These are a random mixture of the sort of conversions that have been explored in earlier
examples. The only working is shown for a slight variant.
a) 234 g
b) 0.5 mol
c) 25 mol
d) 10 g
e) 40 g
f) 250 (If 0.004 mol weighs 1 g, then 1 mol weighs 1/0.004 g = 250 g. The relative formula mass
is the mass of 1 mole, but without the unit g.)

10.a)
K N O

combining mass 5.85 g 2.10 g 4.80 g

No of moles of atoms 5.85/39 = 0.15 2.10/14 = 0.15 4.80/16 = 0.3

Ratio of moles 1 1 2

Empirical formula = KNO2

b)
Na S O

combining mass 3.22 g 4.48 g 3.36 g

No of moles of atoms 3.22/23 = 0.14 4.48/32 = 0.14 3.36/16 = 0.21

Ratio of moles (divide 1 1 1.5
by smallest number)
simplifies to
2 2 3

Empirical formula = Na2S2O3

c)
carbon hydrogen bromine

given % 22.0 4.6 73.4

combining mass in 22.0 g 4.6 g 73.4 g
100g
No of moles of atoms 22.0/12 = 1.833 4.6/1 = 4.6 73.4/80 = 0.9175
Ratio of moles (divide 2 5 1
by smallest number)

Empirical formula = C2H5Br

11.a) Calculate the mass of oxygen in the compound (2.84 - 1.24 g), and then a straightforward
empirical formula sum as before will lead to P 2O5

(b) P2O5 has a Mr of 142. To get a M r of 284 needs twice as many atoms - so P 4O10

12.a)
carbon hydrogen oxygen

given % 66.7 11.1 22.2

combining mass in 66.7 g 11.1 g 22.2 g
100g
No of moles of atoms 66.7/12 = 5.558 11.1/1 = 11.1 22.2/16 = 1.3875
Ratio of moles (divide 4 8 1
by smallest number)

Empirical formula = C4H8O

b) If you add up C 4H8O, you get 72. The molecular formula is the same as the empirical formula.

13.You know the mass of anhydrous sodium sulphate (1.42 g)

You can work out the mass of water of crystallisation (3.22 - 1.42 g = 1.8 g)

You can work out the mass of 1 mole of sodium sulphate, Na 2SO4 = 142 g
and the mass of 1 mole of water = 18 g

Number of moles of sodium sulphate = 1.42/142 = 0.01 mol

Number of moles of water = 1.8/18 = 0.1 mol

So for every 1 mole of sodium sulphate, there are 10 moles of water.

14.Work out the mass of CaSO 4 = 44.14 - 37.34 = 6.8 g

Work out the mass of water = 45.94 - 44.14 = 1.8 g
Work out how many moles youve got of each and then compare them.
You should find that n = 2.

15.1 mol of water (18 g) contains 6 x 10 23 molecules.

Therefore, 18 cm3 of water contains 6 x 10 23 molecules. (Density is 1 g cm -3)

1 cm3 of water contains 6 x 10 23 /18 = 3.333 x 10 22 molecules.
0.05 cm3 of water contains 0.05 x 3.333 x 10 22 = 1.67 x 1021 molecules.
Chapter 23

1. From the equation, 4 mol Na gives 1 mol Ti.

Substituting masses: 4 x 23 g Na give 48 g Ti
i.e. 92 g Na give 48 g Ti
Because the ratio is bound to be the same 92 tonnes Na give 48 tonnes Ti.
Therefore, 92/48 tonnes Na give 1 tonne Ti.

Mass of Na needed = 1.92 tonnes

2. The equation shows that 1 mol AlCl 3 gives 3 mol AgCl

Substituting masses: (27 + (3x35.5)) g AlCl 3 gives 3 x (108 + 35.5) g AgCl
i.e. 133.5 g AlCl 3 gives 3 x 143.5 g AgCl = 430.5 g AgCl
So, 2.67 g AlCl 3 gives 2.67/133.5 x 430.5 g AgCl = 8.61 g

(For students whose maths isnt very good, insert another step by working out what 1 g of AlCl 3
would give (divide by 133.5) and then multiplying that by 2.67. The same sort of technique can be
used in all examples of this type.)

3. a) From the first equation: 1 mol CaCO 3 gives 1 mol CaO

Substituting masses: 100 g CaCO 3 gives 56 g CaO
This ratio will be the same for tonnes as for grams:
100 tonnes CaCO3 gives 56 tonnes CaO
So, 1 tonne CaCO 3 gives 0.56 tonnes CaO

b) In the second equation 1 mol CaO needs 1 mol H 2O

56 g CaO needs 18 g H 2O
Or, 56 tonnes CaO needs 18 tonnes H 2O
So, 0.56 tonnes CaO needs 0.18 tonnes H 2O

c) Again from the second equation, 1 mol CaO produces 1 mol Ca(OH) 2
56 g CaO gives (40 + 2 x (16 + 1)) g Ca(OH) 2 = 74 g Ca(OH)2
56 tonnes CaO gives 74 tonnes Ca(OH) 2
0.56 tonnes CaO gives 0.74 tonnes Ca(OH) 2

4. a) Tracing the equations through, 1 mol CuO will eventually produce 1 mol CuSO 4.5H2O
80 g CuO will give 64 + 32 + (4x16) + (5 x 18) g CuSO 4.5H2O = 250 g
4 g CuO will give 4/80 x 250 g CuSO 4.5H2O = 12.5 g

b) Percentage yield = 11.25 / 12.5 x 100% = 90%

5. a) From the equation: 1 mol Cr 2O3 reacts with 2 mol Al

(2 x 52) + (3 x 16) g Cr 2O3 reacts with 2 x 27 g Al
152 g Cr2O3 reacts with 54 g Al
Or, 152 tonnes Cr 2O3 reacts with 54 tonnes Al
So, 1 tonne Cr 2O3 reacts with 54/152 tonnes Al = 0.355 tonnes Al

(b) 1 mol Cr2O3 produces 2 mol Cr

152 g Cr2O3 produces 104 g Cr
152 tonnes Cr2O3 produces 104 tonnes Cr
1 tonne Cr2O3 produces 104/152 tonnes Cr = 0.684 tonnes Cr

6. 4 mol FeS2 produces 2 mol Fe2O3 and 8 mol SO2

(4 x 120) g FeS 2 produces (2 x 160) g Fe 2O3 and (8 x 64) g SO 2
480 g FeS2 produces 320 g Fe 2O3 and 512 g SO 2
Or, 480 tonnes FeS 2 produces 320 tonnes Fe 2O3 and 512 tonnes SO 2
1 tonne of ore contains 0.5 tonnes FeS 2
So, 0.5 tonnes FeS 2 produces 0.5/480 x 320 tonnes Fe 2O3 and 0.5/480 x 512 tonnes SO 2
Therefore (a) mass of Fe 2O3 = 0.333 tonnes, and (b) mass of SO 2 = 0.533 tonnes
7. a) 1 mol Cl2 weighs 71 g
If 24000 cm 3 (at rtp) weighs 71 g
200 cm3 weighs 200/24000 x 71 g = 0.592 g

b) 1 mol O2 weighs 32 g
So 32 g O2 occupies 24000 cm 3 at rtp
and 0.16 g O 2 occupies 0.16/32 x 24000 cm 3 at rtp = 120 cm3
(or you could have worked in dm 3 - giving 0.12 dm3)

c) The mass of 1 mole is what would occupy 24 dm 3 at rtp

If 1 dm3 weighs 1.42 g, 24 dm 3 weighs 24 x 1.42 g = 34.1 g

8. The equation says that 1 mol Mg gives 1 mol H 2

So, 24 g Mg gives 24000 cm 3 H2 at rtp
Therefore, 0.240 g Mg gives 0.240/24 x 24000 cm 3 H2 = 240 cm3 H2

9. The equation says that 2 mol KNO 3 gives 1 mol O2

So, (2 x 101) g KNO3 gives 24 dm3 O2
Or, 202 g KNO3 gives 24 dm3 O2
Therefore, to get 1 dm 3, you would need 202/24 g KNO 3 = 8.42 g

10.The equation says that 1 mol MnO 2 gives 1 mol Cl2

So, 87 g MnO2 gives 24000 cm 3 Cl2
Therefore, 2.00 g MnO 2 gives 2.00/87 x 24000 cm 3 Cl2 = 552 cm3

11.a) 1 mol BaSO4 weighs 233 g

So, 0.328 g BaSO 4 is 0.328 / 233 mol = 1.41 x 10 -3 mol (0.00141 mol)

b) The second equation shows that 1 mol BaSO 4 comes from 1 mol Na2SO4
Therefore the mixture contained 1.41 x 10 -3 mol Na2SO4

c) 1 mol Na2SO4 weighs 142 g

Therefore 1.41 x 10 -3 mol weighs 1.41 x 10 -3 x 142 g = 0.200 g

d) The total mixture of sodium sulfate and sodium sulfite weighed 1.000 g.
Remaining sodium sulfite weighs 1.000 - 0.200 g = 0.800 g
Percentage remaining = 0.800/1.000 x 100 = 80.0%
Chapter 24

1. A current of 0.50 amps for 1 hour = 0.50 x 60 x 60 coulombs

= 1800 coulombs

1 mol of copper deposited needs 2 mol of electrons = 2 x 96000 coulombs

= 192000 coulombs

If 192000 coulombs causes 1 mol Cu to be deposited

then 1800 coulombs causes 1800/192000 mol Cu to be deposited

1 mol Cu weighs 64 g

1800/192000 mol Cu weighs 1800/192000 x 64 g = 0.60 g

2. a) No of coulombs = 0.350 x 1000

= 350

1 mol Pb (207 g) is deposited by 2 mol electrons = 2 x 96000 coulombs

= 192000 coulombs

350 coulombs deposit 350/192000 x 207 g Pb = 0.377 g

b) 1 mol O2 (24000 cm3 at rtp) is given off by 4 mol electrons = 4 x 96000 coulombs
= 384000 coulombs

350 coulombs will release 350/384000 x 24000 cm 3 at rtp = 21.9 cm3

3. a) No of coulombs = 0.40 x 75 x 60
= 1800

1 mol Cu (64 g) is deposited by 2 mol electrons = 2 x 96000 coulombs

= 192000 coulombs

1800 coulombs will deposit 1800/192000 x 64 g Cu = 0.60 g

(b) The equations show that, for a given number of electrons flowing, the mass of copper gained
by the cathode is exactly the same as the mass of copper lost from the anode.

Therefore, of the 0.80 g actually lost, 0.60 g is pure copper.

Percentage purity = 0.60/0.80 x 100 % = 75%

4. The equation shows that 1 mol Al (27 g) is produced from 3 mol e - = 3 x 96000 coulombs
= 288000 coulombs

1 tonne (1000000 g) would be produced by 1000000 / 27 x 288000 coulombs

= 1.067 x 1010 coulombs

The current has flowed for 24 hours = 24 x 60 x 60 secs = 86400 secs

Coulombs = amps x secs,

and so amps = coulombs/secs
Current needed = 1.067 x 10 10 / 86400 amps
= 123000 amps

(Yes, thats pretty big - but its the sort of currents they actually use!)
5. a) Working from the cobalt figure to start with:

1 mol Co (59 g) is deposited by 2 mol electrons = 2 x 96000 coulombs

= 192000 coulombs

0.295 g Co is deposited by 0.295/59 x 192000 coulombs = 960 coulombs

b) For chromium, 1 mol Cr (52 g) is deposited by 3 mol electrons = 3 x 96000 coulombs

= 288000 coulombs

The same quantity of electricity (960 coulombs) flows through both beakers.

960 coulombs will deposit 960/288000 x 52 g Cr = 0.173 g

6. There are two ways of doing this calculation. You could do it exactly as in Q6, but notice that the
question doesnt give a value for the faraday. The solution below shows a short cut method, but
there is no reason why you cant do it by the longer method in Q6 if you want to. You should get
the same answer either way.

Notice that 2 mol of electrons are needed to deposit 1 mol of either lead or copper.
That means that you will always get the same number of moles of both.

Moles of copper = 0.64/64 = 0.01

Therefore, moles of lead also = 0.01

mass of lead = 0.01 x 207 g = 2.07 g
Chapter 25

1. a) Bonds broken: 4 x C-H = 4 x (+413) = +1652

1 x Br-Br = + 193
total = +1845

Bonds made: 3 x C-H = 3 x (-413) = -1239

1 x C-Br = - 290
1 x H-Br = - 366
total = -1895

Overall change = +1845 - 1895 = -50 kJ (exothermic)

b) Bonds broken: 1 x H-H = +436

1 x Cl-Cl = +243
total = +679

Bonds made: 2 x H-Cl = 2 x (-432) = -864

Overall change = +679 - 864 = -185 kJ (exothermic)

c) Bonds broken: 2 x H-H = 2 x (+436) = +872

1 x O=O = +498
total = +1370
Bonds made: 4 x O-H = 4 x (-464) = -1856

Overall change = +1370 - 1856 = -486 kJ (exothermic)

2. a) Her first two results werent reliable - there was too much difference between them.

b) Two of: Danger of fire from burning hexane if spilt. Danger of scalding from hot water. Danger
of cuts if fragile thermometer or flask are broken. (Plus anything else relevant to your schools risk
assessment policies.)

c) Heat evolved = mass x specific heat x temperature rise.

Mass is taken as the mass of water = 100 g

Specific heat = 4.18 J g -1 C-1
Temperature rise = 55.0 - 19.0 = 36.0C

Heat evolved = 100 x 4.18 x 36.0 J = 15048 J (or 15.048 kJ or 15.0 kJ to 3 sf)

d) Mass of hexane burnt = 35.62 - 35.23 g = 0.39 g

Heat evolved per gram = 15.0 / 0.39 kJ = 38.5 kJ

e) 1 mol hexane weighs 86 g

Heat evolved per mole = 38.5 x 86 kJ = 3310 kJ

(It is important to notice that we have introduced rounding errors here. Every time you feed a
rounded answer into the next part of the calculation, you introduce a small extra error. If you
simply used the number on your calculator for the next step rather than the rounded one, you
would get a final answer of 3320 kJ (to 3 sf). On the other hand, there is no simple way of
showing that you have done that in an exam, and so you could end up with an answer inconsistent
with your working.)
f) There must be some precision here, and the reason given must have produced a higher value for
the heat evolved. For example:

Misreading one of the weighings of the spirit burner so that it looked as if less hexane had
been burnt that was really the case.
Misreading the thermometer to give a final temperature higher than it should have been.
Adding less than 100 cm 3 of water to the flask, so that the temperature went up more than it
should because the heat was going into a smaller volume of water.

g) Massive heat losses. Not all of the heat from the burner goes into the water in the flask; much
will go straight into the air. No account is taken of the heat being used to warm up the flask or the
thermometer. Heat is lost from the water to the surrounding air as the water warms up, and the
higher its temperature, the faster it loses heat.
Chapter 26

1. 1 mol H2SO4 weighs 98 g

4.90 g is 4.9/98 mol = 0.0500 mol
Concentration = 0.0500 mol dm -3 (0.0500 to show that the answer is accurate to 3 sig figs)

2. KOH is 0.200 mol dm-3

1 mol KOH weighs 56 g
0.200 mol weighs 0.200 x 56 g = 11.2 g
Concentration = 11.2 g dm -3

3. Relative formula mass Na2CO3 = 106

So 1 mol Na2CO3 weighs 106 g
0.100 mol weighs 10.6 g
To get a 0.100 mol dm -3 solution you would have to dissolve 10.6 g in 1 dm 3 (1000 cm3)
If you only wanted 100 cm 3 of solution you would only need 1.06 g Na 2CO3

4. No of moles of copper(II) sulphate = 20/1000 x 0.100

= 0.00200 mol

Equation shows that 1 mol CuSO 4 produces 1 mol BaSO 4

No of moles BaSO4 formed = 0.00200 mol

1 mol BaSO4 weighs 233 g

0.00200 mol BaSO 4 weighs 0.00200 x 233 g = 0.466 g

5. 25.0 cm3 of 2.00 mol dm -3 HCl contains 25.0/1000 x 2.00 mol = 0.0500 mol

The equation shows that you only need half the number of moles of calcium carbonate as of
hydrochloric acid.

No of moles of CaCO3 = 1/2 x 0.0500 mol

= 0.0250 mol

I mole of CaCO3 weighs 100 g.

0.0250 mol CaCO3 weighs 0.0250 x 100 g = 2.50 g

6. No of moles of H2SO4 = 25/1000 x 1.0 = 0.025 mol

The equations show that 1 mol CuO will produce 1 mol of CuSO 4.5H2O
1 mol of CuSO4.5H2O weighs 250 g.
Mass produced = 0.025 x 250 g = 6.25 g

7. a) No of moles of NaOH solution = 25.0/1000 x 0.400 mol = 0.0100 mol

The equation shows that you need half as many moles of sulfuric acid = 0.00500 mol
The acid has a concentration of 0.200 mol dm -3 . . .
. . . which means that 0.200 mol is contained in 1000 cm 3
Therefore 0.00500 mol is contained in 0.00500/0.200 x 1000 cm 3 = 25.0 cm3

b) 1 mol of CaCO3 weighs 100 g.

Therefore 10.0 g is 0.100 mol
From the equation, you need twice as many moles of HCl = 0.200 mol
The acid has a concentration of 2.00 mol dm -3 . . .
. . . which means that 1000 cm 3 contains 2.00 mol
Therefore 0.200 mol is contained in 100 cm 3.
8. (For home-schooling parents: In each of these examples, start from what you know most about
and work from there. If a student needs to put extra steps in, encourage them to do so. For
example, if there are 0.2 mol in 1000 cm 3, there are 0.2/1000 mol in 1 cm 3 and 25 x 0.2/1000 mol
in 25 cm3.

Or, if there are 0.05 mol in 24 cm 3, there are 0.05/24 mol in 1 cm 3 and 1000 x 0.05/24 mol in 1000
cm3.

There is no embarrassment in doing this. All that matters is getting the answer right!)

a) No of moles of NaOH = 25/1000 x 0.100 = 0.00250 mol

The equation shows a 1:1 reaction.

No of moles of HNO3 = 0.00250 mol

Thats in 20.0 cm 3.

Concentration of HNO 3 = 1000/20.0 x 0.00250 mol dm -3 = 0.125 mol dm-3

b) No of moles of HNO3 = 30.0/1000 x 0.100 = 0.00300 mol

The equation shows that you need half as many moles of sodium carbonate as of nitric acid.

No of moles of Na2CO3 = 1/2 x 0.00300 mol

= 0.00150 mol
Thats in 25.0 cm 3.

Concentration of Na2CO3 = 1000/25.0 x 0.00150 mol dm -3 = 0.0600 mol dm-3

c) No of moles of K2CO3 = 25.0/1000 x 0.250 = 0.00625 mol

The equation shows that you need twice as many moles of ethanoic acid as of potassium
carbonate.

No of moles of CH3COOH = 2 x 0.00625 mol

= 0.0125 mol

Thats in 12.5 cm 3.

Concentration of CH 3COOH = 1000/12.5 x 0.0125 = 1.00 mol dm -3

9. a) No of moles of HCl = 18.8/1000 x 0.04 mol = 7.52 x 10 -4 mol (0.000752 mol)

The equation shows that this reacts with half that number of moles of calcium hydroxide.
No of moles of Ca(OH)2 = 3.76 x 10-4 mol (0.000376 mol)
Thats in 25 cm3.
Concentration of Ca(OH) 2 = 1000/25 x 3.76 x 10 -4 mol dm-3 = 0.0150 mol dm-3

b) 1 mol Ca(OH)2 weighs 74 g.

Concentration = 0.0150 x 74 g dm -3 = 1.11 g dm-3

1. a) The relative atomic mass of an element is the weighted average mass of the isotopes of the
element.(1) It is measured on a scale on which a carbon-12 atom has a mass of exactly 12 units.
(1).

b) The total mass of 100 atoms = (75 x 35) + (25 x 37) = 3550 (1)
