CHM 112 ASSIGNMENT (SUBMIT LATEST 25TH MARCH 2021)

1. Use appropriate metric prefixes to write the following measurements without

use of exponents (e.g., 1.45 x107 m = 14.5 Mm, i.e., 14.5 megametres).
(a) 6.35 x10-2 L (b) 6.5 x10-6 s (c) 9.5 x10-4 m (d) 12.6 x10-8 kg (e) 2.7 x10-10 g
(f) 6.27 x109 fs
2. What is the significant figures in each of the following quantities?
(a) 303 kg, (b) 0.083 s, (c) 9.2030 m, (d) 0.0106 L, (e) 8.0200 x10 -3 m
3. How many moles of iron are present in a pure sample weighing 558.45 grams?
4. How many molecules of water are present in 36 grams of water?
5. How many grams of carbon can be found in 1 mole of carbon dioxide?
6. Using the postulates of the kinetic molecular theory, explain why a gas
uniformly fills a container of any shape.
7. At 1 atm and 0 oC, 12 g of a gas occupies 5.6 dm3. Which gas is it?
8. Which one of the followings represents the correct volume of a gas at STP if it
occupies a volume of 500 cm3 at 273 oC and 380 mmHg?
9. How many molecules of an ideal gas occupy a volume of 1.000 cm3 if the
temperature is -80 oC and the pressure is 1.33 x10-4 kPa?
10. A mixture of 0.20M acetic acid and 0.30M sodium acetate is given. Calculate
the pH of the medium if the pKa of acetic acid is 4.76
11. The balloon that Charles used for his initial flight in 1783 was destroyed, but
we can estimate that its volume was 31,150 L (1100 ft 3), given the dimensions
recorded at the time. If the temperature at ground level was 86°F (30°C) and
the atmospheric pressure was 745 mmHg, how many moles of hydrogen gas were
needed to fill the balloon?
12. 10 g of N2 and 10 g of He gas are placed together in a 10 L container at 25 oC.
Calculate the partial pressure of nitrogen.
13. The density of octane is 0.702 g/cm 3, what is the mass of 65.0 ml of octane?
