How many moles of O2 can be produced by letting 12.00 moles of KClO3 react?
3. Given the reaction: 4 NH3 (g) + 5 O2 (g) ---> 4 NO (g) + 6 H2O (l)

4. Which of the following is a ketone?

a. b. c. d.

5. A 6.0 L sample at 25 °C and 2.00 atm of pressure contains 0.5 moles of a gas. If an additional 0.25
moles of gas at the same pressure and temperature are added, what is the final total volume of the
gas?
6. Determine the volume of occupied by 2.34 grams of carbon dioxide gas at STP.
7. At what temperature will 0.654 moles of neon gas occupy 12.30 liters at 1.95 atmospheres?
8. Electronegativity tends to increase as you

a. Ion-ion
b. Ion-dipole
c. Hydrogen bonding
d. London dispersion
10. Hydrocarbons that lacks pi bond are known as

d. Alkanes
 1. 1 mole KClO3 = (39.1 g K) + (35.4 g Cl) + (3 x 16.0 = 48.0 g O) = 122.5 g

% K = 39.1/122.5 = 31.9% K;

% Cl = 35.4/122.5 = 28.9 % Cl;

% O = 48.0/122.5 = 39.2% O

2. The KClO3 / O2 molar ratio is 2/3.

2 mol KClO3 / 3 mol. O2 = 12.00 mol KClO3 / x = 18.00 mol.

x = 18.00 mol of O2

3. NH3 / (NO + H2O) = 4 / 10

4 / 10 = 1.20 / x

x = 3.00 mol

4. D

5. Vf = Vinf/ni
Vf = (6.0 L x 0.75 moles)/0.5 moles
Vf = 4.5 L/0.5 Vf = 9 L
The final volume of the gas is 9.0 L.

6. V = [ (2.34 g / 44.0 g mol¯1) (0.08206 L atm mol¯1 K¯1) (273.0 K) ] / 1.00 atm

V = 1.19 L

7. T = [ (1.95 atm) (12.30 L) ] / [ (0.654 mol) (0.08206 L atm mol¯1 K¯1) ]

T = 447 K

8. B

9. D

10. D.
