 PRETEST: A Few Review Questions

8. What does the term “Molar Mass” mean? Give an explanation in words.
It refers to the mass in grams of 1 mole of a specific pure substance and is measured in
g/mol.
9. What is the molar mass of sucrose (C12H22O11(s))? Be sure to include the measurement
units.
(12.01)12 + (1.01)22 + (16.00)11 = 342.34 g/mol
10. What mass would be present if you had 4.38 moles of MgCO3 (s)?
M = 24.31 + 12.01 + (16.00)3 = 84.32 g/mol
4.38 mol X 84.32 g = 369.3216 g or 369 g
1 mol
11. If there is a mass of 38.95 g of carbon tetrachloride in a sample, how many moles would
this represent?
Carbon tetrachloride is CCl4 so its molar mass is: 12.01g + (35.45 g)4 = 153.81 g/mol
38.95 g X 1 mol = 0.2532345101 mol or 0.2532 mol
153.81 g
12. What is the molar volume of gas at STP conditions?
22.4 L/mol
13. A sample of 2.45 mol of methane gas is at 33.80 C and a pressure of 96.3 kPa. What
volume will the methane gas occupy?
PV = nRT where R = 8.314 kPa • L
mol • K
96.3 kPa X V = 2.45 mol X 8.314 kPa • L X (273.15 + 33.8) K
mol • K
V = 2.45 mol X 8.314 kPa • L (273.15 + 33.8) K
96.3 kPa • mol • K
V = 64.92582175 L or 64.9 L
 Use this reaction equation to answer the next questions.

C2H5OH (l) + 3 O2 (g)  2 CO2 (g) + 3 H2O (g)

14. When 23.45 g of ethanol is burned

i) how many moles of water will be produced?
23.45 g C2H5OH X 1 mol X 3 mol H2O = 1.526692708 mol H2O or 1.53 mol H2O
46.08 g 1 mol C2H5OH
ii) what mass of carbon dioxide will be released?
23.45 g C2H5OH X 1 mol X 2 mol CO2 (g) X 44.01 g = 44.79316406 g or 44.8 g CO2 (g)
46.08 g 1 mol C2H5OH 1 mol

8. If 4.33 moles of sodium phosphate is dissolved in water and then made to a volume of
375 mL, what will the concentration of this solution be?

C = n/V so….. C = 4.33 mol = 11.54666667 mol/L or 11.5 mol/L

0.375 L

9. If 35.0 mL of hydrochloric acid is taken and diluted to 250.0 mL of a 0.0995 mol/L

solution, what was the concentration of the original solution?

C1 X V1 = C2 X V2 so……. C1 X 35.0 mL = 0.0995 mol X 250.0 mL

L
C1 = 0.0995 mol X 250.0 mL = 0.7107142857 or 0.711 mol
L X 35.0 mL L
10. In a hydrochloric acid solution what is the solute and what is the solvent?
Solute is HCl and solvent is water.
11. When a reactive metal like sodium is placed into water a reaction takes place
producing a gas and a soluble product that is a hydroxide. Write a balanced equation
for the reaction including states and answer the next question based on this
reaction.
2 Na (s) + 2 H2O (l)  2 NaOH (aq) + H2 (g)
12. If 3.55 g of sodium reacts, calculate the concentration of the soluble product if it was
produced in 200.0 mL of water.
3.55 g Na X 1 mol X 2 mol NaOH X 1__ = 0.7720748151 mol/L or 0.772 mol/L
22.99 g 2 mol Na 0.200 L
13. Write a dissociation equation for what theoretically would happen to a soluble
compound like calcium nitrate when dissolved in water and then explain in words what the
equation you have written means.
Ca(NO3)2 (s)  Ca2+(aq) + 2 NO3 - (aq)

When solid calcium nitrate dissolves in water it dissociates to separate and produce soluble
calcium 2+ cations and nitrate 1- anions in a 1:2 proportion.
