Midterm Examination II: PRACTICE QUESTIONS

DATE STUDENTS NAME MARK (%)

Length of Exam: 1 hours

Please write all answers in the spaces provided: if you require more space, please use the ADDITIONAL SPACE section at the end of this booklet, and write the question number clearly beside your answer. For problems involving calculations, show all your working-out, including any units, and underline or circle your final answer. Please note that any answers made with an erasable instrument, eg pencil, are not disputable. Your student photo ID is required at examinations. It is at the discretion of the instructor whether you will be allowed to write the examination if you arrive over 15 minutes after the examination has begun. You must remain in the examination room for at least 20 minutes from the time it commenced. Permission to use the washroom during examinations is at the discretion of the instructor, and only one person at a time is permitted to use the washroom. You will need a pencil, pen, eraser, ruler and calculator (you are not permitted to store prior information in your calculators memory), and your student identification card. No other resources are permitted during the exam. The following resources will be provided: periodic table and data sheet ___________________________________________________________________________________________

 1 12.00mL of a 0.0207M aqueous solution of barium chloride is mixed with 17.00mL of a 0.0319M aqueous solution of potassium chloride. What is the concentration of chloride ions in the resulting solution in parts- per-million? Total moles of chloride ions from BaCl2 = 2 x 0.012 (L) x 0.0207 (mol/L) = 4.97 x 10-4 Total moles of chloride ions from NaCl = 0.017 (L) x 0.0319 (mol/L) = 5.42 x 10-4 (10 marks)

Molarity of chloride in mixture = total moles of chloride / total volume = (4.97 x 10-4 + 5.42 x 10-4 ) / (0.012 + 0.017) = 0.0358M

[Cl-] = 0.0358 mol/L = 0.0358 (mol/L) x 35.45 (g/mol) = 1.27 g/L = 1.27 x 103 mg/L = 1.27 x 103 ppm

Crystalline barium sulphate was precipitated by adding 40.00mL of 0.503M barium chloride solution 90.00mL of 0.249M sodium sulphate solution, according to the chemical equation given below: BaCl2(aq) + Na2SO4(aq) BaSO4() + 2NaCl(aq) Establish which is the limiting reagent, and hence calculate the theoretical yield of barium sulphate in grams.

Moles = molarity x volume(L) Moles of BaCl2 = 0.503 x 0.04000 = 2.01 x 102 Moles of Na2SO4 = 0.249 x 0.09000 = 2.24 x 102 Hence BaCl2 is the limiting reagent Theoretical yield = 2.01 x 102 moles of BaSO4 Molar mass of BaSO4 = 137.33 + 32.07 + (4 x 16.00) = 233.4 g/mol Hence, Theoretical Yield = 233.4 x 2.01 x 102 = 4.70 g of BaSO4
