    Exam-style questions

    0 1 . 1 A student investigated the reaction of magnesium with oxygen.


    The student calculated that 4.8 g of magnesium would make 8.0 g
    of magnesium oxide.
    The equation for the reaction is:
    2Mg + O2 → 2MgO
    What mass of oxygen is required to produce 8.0 g of magnesium
    oxide from 4.8 g of magnesium? [1 mark]

    0 1 . 2 The student heated magnesium to produce magnesium oxide.


    Figure 1 shows the apparatus the student used.
    Figure 1

    The student:
     weighed 2.40 g of magnesium
     heated the crucible and magnesium
     when heating lifted up the lid slightly to let oxygen in but
    stopped magnesium oxide escaping
     heated until all the magnesium formed a white powder
     weighed the magnesium ribbon formed.

    Calculate the mean mass of magnesium oxide produced. Give


    your answer to 2 decimal places [3 marks]

    0 1 . 3 The student produced less magnesium oxide than expected.


    Suggest two reasons why. [2 marks]

    0 2 A student made two solutions – solution A and solution B.


    Solution A contained 5 g of copper sulfate in 50 cm3 of water.
    Solution B contains 10 g of copper sulfate in 100 cm3 of water.
    The student added solution B to solution A.
    The student concluded that the new solution is more concentrated
    because it has more copper sulfate dissolved in it
    Is the student correct? Explain your answer. [3 marks]

    0 3 Industrially ethanol can be produced by two different methods.


    Reaction 1: C2H4 + H2O → C2H5OH
    Reaction 2: C6H12O6 → 2CO2 + 2C2H5OH
    0 3 . 1 Explain why the atom economy in reaction 1 is equal to 100%. [2 marks]

    0 3 . 2 Calculate the atom economy for reaction 2.


    Use the equation.
    Relative formula mass of
    desired product from equation
    Sum of relative formula masses
    Atom economy = of all reactants from equations × 100
    Relative atomic masses Ar: C = 12, H = 1, O = 16 [5 marks]

    0 4 . 1 A student investigated the volume of sulfuric acid that reacted with 25 cm3

    0 4 . 2 In the titration the student used 25.0 cm3 of sodium hydroxide.
    This volume reacted with exactly 20.0 cm3 of 0.1 mol/dm3 of
    sulfuric acid solution.
    The equation for the reaction is:
    2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + 2H2O
    What is the concentration in mol/dm3 of the sodium hydroxide
    solution? [4 marks]

    0 5 Describe how you can calculate the relative formula mass of a


    compound.
