10p Q1. A compound of copper and sulfur contains 146.16 g of metal and 73.74 g of
nonmetal. How many of copper and sulfur atoms are in 5264 kg of compound?
Q2. A vinegar sample is found to have a density of 1.206 g/mL and to contain 4.7%
4p acetic acid by mass. How many grams of acetic acid are present in 1.20 L of this vinegar?
4p Q3. To determine the approximate mass of a small spherical shot of copper, the following
experiment is performed. When 95 pieces of the shot are counted out and added to 6.9
mL of water in a graduated cylinder, the total volume becomes 7.8 mL. The density of
copper is 8.92 g/cm3. Determine the approximate mass of a single piece of shot, assuming
that all of the pieces are of the same dimensions.
10p Q4. The reaction of NH3 and O2 forms NO and water. The NO can be used to convert P4
to P4O6, forming N2 in the process. The P4O6 can be treated with water to form H3PO3,
which forms PH3 and H3PO4 when heated. Find the mass of PH3 that forms from the
reaction of 1.50g of NH3.
Q5. Cortisol is a steroid hormone and t is produced by the zona fasciculata of the adrenal
10p cortex. Cortisol is carbon, oxygen and hydrogen containing compound. It has a
composition of 69.6% C and 8.34% H by mass and has a molecular weight of 362.465
g/mol. What is its molecular formula of cortisol?
9p Q7. In the combustion of 390 g of the molecule drawn below, how many grams of
oxygen are consumed?
6p Q8. Nitrogen is a highly reactive element and has many forms of oxides and nitrogen
content of these oxides can be listed as 46.69%; 36.85%; 25.94% by mass. What should
be the empirical formula of each compound and mass of oxygen per gram of nitrogen in
each compound?
6p Q9. Three pure compounds form when 1.00 g samples of element X combine with,
respectively, 0.472 g, 0.630 g and 0.789 g of element Z. The first compound has the
formula X2Z3. Find the empirical formulas of other two compounds.
4p Q10. Determine
a) what is the total number of atom in 13.6 mol of Na
b) the number of moles of Ni in a 312 g of sample
c) the mass of two trillion-atom (2.0x1012) sample of metallic silver
d) how many 65Cu atoms are present in a piece of copper block weighing 715 mg?
The percent isotope abundance of 65Cu is 30.85%?
9p Q11. By analysis, a compound was found to contain 26.58% K and 35.45% Cr by mass;
the reminder was oxygen. What is the oxidation state of chromium in this compound?
What is the name of this compound?
9p Q12. What thickness (in cm) is the silicon block (density = 2.13 g/cm3) that is 2.65 cm
wide and long necessary to react with 88.3 g of Cr2O3 by the reaction:
Si (s) + Cr2O3 (s) → SiO2 (s) + Cr (l)
9p Q13. Aluminum metal and iron (III) oxide react to give aluminum oxide and iron metal.
What is the maximum mass of iron that can be obtained from a reaction mixture
containing 2.0 g of aluminum and 7.6 g of iron (III) oxide. What mass of the excess
reactant remains?
