1. When iron in heated in a stream of dry chlorine, it produces a chloride that contains 34.5% by mass of iron
(a) Calculate the empirical formula of this chloride.

(b) The relative molecular mass of this chloride (M r) is 325.


i. What is the molecular formula of this chloride?

ii. Hence construct an equation, including state symbols, for he reaction of iron and chlorine.

2. The sugar glucose has an empirical formula of CH 2O and a relative molecular mass, Mr, of 180.
(a) Calculate the molecular formula of glucose

(b) If an aqueous of glucose is heated with alkaline copper (II) sulfate, a brick-red precipitate is formed. The
precipitate is an oxide of copper. A 1.44g sample of this oxide was found to contain 1.28g of copper.
(i) Calculate the empirical formula of this oxide of copper.
