_______1. Which of the following is the correct formula weight of calcium nitrate?
Atomic weights: Ca = 40.08 u, N = 14.01 u, O = 16.00 u

a. 70.09 u b. 102.09 u c. 143.18 u d. 164.10

SOLUTION:
1. First, identify the “compound” form of “calcium nitrate” which is Ca(NO₃)₂

2. Use the “molar mass” equation to find the “formula weight”

FORMULA: [(# of atoms) (Atomic weight)] (Repeat if you have more than one
element.)

ADD:
(1)(40.08) + (2)(14.01) + (6)(16.00) FINAL ANSWER

40.08 + 28.02 + 96 = 164.10 g/mol or 164.10 u

_______2. Which of the following acids below has the Molecular weight of 98.1 u?

Atomic weights:
S = 32.06 u , N = 14.01 u, O = 16.00 u, H = 1.01 u, Cl = 35.45 u

a. H₂SO₄ b. H₂SO₃ c. HNO₃ d.HCl

ANSWER: H₂SO₄

SOLUTION:

ADD:
(2)(1.01) + (1)(32.06) + (4)(16.00)

2.02 + 32.06 + 64
_______3. Hydrogen gas is a diatomic ion with a molecular weight of ____.
a. 1.01 u b. 2.02 u c. 4.04 u d. 18.02 u

ANSWER: 2.02 u

SOLUTION:

– When a “diatomic” ion is mentioned, from the word “di” it means 2. Therefore,
Hydrogen gas has a subscript of 2.

H₂

SOLVING:
– The answer is 2.02 because Hydrogen has a subscript. Therefore we can not
use the atomic weight because it’s not standing as one. We use the molecular
formula to get it’s mass or it’s “g/mol”

= 2.02 g/mol or 2.02 u

_______4. Fermentation is a process where glucose sugar is broken down into
ethyl alcohol and carbon dioxide with the aid of an enzyme. Which of
the following will be the correct BALANCED chemical equation?

a. C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → 4CO₂ + 4C₂H₆O c. C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CO₂ + 2CH₂CH₃OH

b. C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ → 4CO₂ + C₂H₆O d. C₆H₁₂O₆ → CO₂ + CH₂CH₃OH

ANSWER: C₆H₁₂O₆ → 2CO₂ + 2CH₂CH₃OH

SOLUTION:
_______5. What is the correct coefficient of the unbalanced equation below?
Chemical equation: Fe + O₂ → Fe₂O₃

a. 1,1,1 b. 2,3,2 c. 4,3,2 d. 4,3,4

ANSWER: 4,3,2

SOLUTION:
(You may use your preferred way in balancing equations ha, I just used that cuz
that’s the only way i know cuz i am incapable of understanding the way u guys do
it lol.)
_______6. What is the missing reactant in unbalanced chemical equation below?
Chemical equation: Ag (s) + ______ (aq) → AgCl (s) + H₂ (g)

a. H₂O b. HCl c. HAg d.Cl2

SOLUTION:

– Your clue is actually already there, the (aq) or aqueous. HCl is an aqueous
solution. You may try to balance the equation with all four of those but it’s going
to be time consuming.

_______7. What type of reaction is in No.6?

a. Synthesis c. Decomposition
b. Single Replacement d. Combustion

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:

Chemical equation in #6:

Ag + HCl → AgCl + H₂

– As observed above, Cl (Chlorine) was once with H (Hydrogen), but on the

product side, Cl left Hydrogen and got together with Ag (Gold). Basically, iya
gibiyaan si H, nakig pares siya ni Ag and since siya ra ang nag change partner,
it’s a single replacement or displacement.

_______8. Below is a double displacement reaction. What are the missing

products in unbalanced chemical equation?
Chemical equation: NaNO₃ (aq) + KCl (aq) → _____(aq) + _______(aq)

a. Na, K b. Na, KNO₃ c. NaCl, K d. NaCl, KNO₃

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:
– The reactants have “NaNO₃” and “KCl”, just switch their partners and that’s the
double displacement. Na pairs with Cl, while K pairs with NO₃.
_______9. What do you use to convert between mass to mole of the same
substance in a reaction?

a. Avogradro’s Number c. Molar Mass

b. Atomic Weight d. Mole Ratio

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:
– Mass to mole will always be “MOLAR MASS” since molar mass has the units we
need to convert mass to mole. Molar mass has the unit of “g/mol” grams can also
be called “mass” and mol is well.. Mole.

_______10. What do you use to interconvert moles to ions?

a. Avogradro’s Number c. Molar Mass

b. Atomic Weight d. Mole Ratio

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:
– When converting your substance into an ion, that’s with the help of the
“AVOGADRO'S NUMBER”

_______11. How many ions of sodium are there in 1 mole of NaCl

a. 3.01 x 10^23 b. 6.02 x 10^23 c. 1.2 x 10^24 d. 56.44

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:
– Since “ions” are part of the problem again, we go for the AVOGADRO’S
NUMBER. Also, this number is already a takeaway, we didn’t have any
discussions about a, c, or d. The answer is already obvious.
_______12. How many molecules of acetic acid are there in 0.1 gram of Acetic
acid, C₂H₄O₂?
Atomic Weights: C = 12.01 u, H = 1.01 u, O = 16.00 u

a. 1.7 x 10^-3 b. 3.4 x 10^-3 c. 1.0 x 10^21 d. 6.02x10^22

SOLUTION:
_______13. How many molecules of acetic acid are there in 0.1 gram of Acetic
acid, C₂H₄O₂?
Atomic Weights: C = 12.01 u, H = 1.01 u, O = 16.00 u

a. 1.7 x 10^-3 b. 3.4 x 10^-3 c. 1.0 x 10^21 d. 6.02x10^22

SOLUTION:
_______14. One molecule of calcium carbonate, CaCO₃ , contains ___ atoms of
oxygen.
Atomic Weights: Ca = 40.08 u, C = 12.01 u, O = 16.00 u

a. 32 b. 16 c. 3 d. 1

SOLUTION / EXPLANATION:
– Honestly, the atomic weights given here are rendered useless. You just have to
look at the subscript of O (Oxygen) which is three.

_______15. In the reaction where hydrogen gas combines with oxygen gas to
form gaseous water, what is the mole ratio between water and oxygen
gas?

UNBALANCED REACTION: H₂ (g) + O₂ (g) → H₂O (g)

a. 2H₂O : 2O₂ b. 2H₂O : 1O₂ c. 1H₂O : 2O₂ d. 1H₂O : 1O₂

SOLUTION:
