2017 CHEMISTRY KEY TOPIC TEST

SECTION A: Multiple-choice questions (1 mark each)

Question 1

Answer: B

Explanation:

n= = 0.01 mol
Since each mole has 2 sodium ions, then answer is 0.02

Question 2

Answer: A

Explanation:

Each Na2CO3 has 3 oxygen atoms, so N (O) = 0.01 x 3 x 6 x 1023 mol= 1.8 x 10 22

Question 3

Answer: C

Explanation:

n(Fe) = n(O) =
n(Fe) : n(O) = 2:3
Formula is Fe2O3

Question 4

Answer: B

Explanation:

N2(s) + 3H2(g)  2NH3(s)

0.5 mole of N2 requires 3 x 0.5= 1.5mol of H2, 3 mol is present thus N2 is limiting reagent
n(NH3) produced = 2 x n(N2)= 2 x 0.5=1mol,
Thus answer is B

Question 5

Answer: C

Explanation:
n(N2) in excess= total – reacting = 3-1.5 =1.5 mol is in excess

Question 6

Answer: D

Explanation:

n(O2) = = 1.5 mol

n(O)= 3 mol
For a ratio of 2:3, the metal should be +3 in charge
i.e. M + O2  M3+2O2-3
Metal must be Fe with the 3+ oxidation state.

Question 7

Answer: A

Explanation:

Greatest mass is also the greatest no. of mol as it is same element.

12.0 mole of oxygen gas = 24 mol of O
3.0 x 1024 atoms of oxygen = 5mol of O
8.0 mol of hydrogen peroxide, H2O2 = 16mol of O
5.0 mol of HClO4 = 20mol of O, thus 24mol is highest, A is the correct alternative.

Question 8

Answer: C

Explanation:

As there is a gaseous product there will be a mass loss thus the mass of products is less than the
mass of reactants

Question 9

Answer: C

Explanation:

n(Cl) = 2.13 = 0.06mol

35.5
n(Al)= 1/3 x n(Cl)= 0.06/3= 0.02mol
m(Al)= 0.02 x 27 = 0.54g, thus answer is C

Question 10

Answer: D

Explanation:

n(NaOH) = c x V = 0.02 x 0.1 = 0.002 mol

n(H2SO4) = ½ x 0.002 = 0.001 mol
c(H2SO4) = , ans is D

SECTION B: Short-answer questions

Question 1
a.
i n (C8H18) = 228 = 2mol
114
n (O2) = 25/2 X 2=25mol
m (O2) = 25 x 32=800g

ii n(CO2) = 16/2 x 2= 16mol

m(CO2) = 16 x 44= 704g

iii n(H2O)= 18/2 x 2=18mol

m(H2O)= 18 x 18= 324g

1+1+1= 3 marks
b.
i C3H8 (g) + 5O2(g) → 3CO2(g) + 4H2O(g)

ii If 4.4g of propane is combusted with 10.8g of oxygen, find the total mass of gas after
the reaction.
n(C3H8) = = 0.1mol

n(O2) = = 0.34mol
C3H8 : O2
0.1/1=0.1 : 0.34/5= 0.068

n(C3H8) is in excess)
n(C3H8) reacting = 1/5 x 0.34= 0.068mol
n(C3H8) excess = 0.1- 0.068= 0.032mol
m(C3H8) excess = 0.032 x 44= 1.41g

n(CO2) = 3/5 x 0.34mol = 0.204mol

m(CO2) = 0.204 x 44 = 8.98g
n (H2O) = 4/5 x 0.34= 0.272mol
n(H2O) = 0.272 x 18 = 4.90g

Total mass of gas= m(C3H8) excess + m(CO2) + m(H2O) = 1.41 + 8.98 + 4.90
= 15.29g
1+3= 4 marks

Question 2
An ester is used as a solvent and flavouring agent and contains carbon, hydrogen and oxygen.
Analysis of this ester shows that it contains 40.0% carbon and 6.67% hydrogen.

a. % O= 100-46.7= 53.3
n(C): n(H):n(O)
= 40.0/12 : 6.67/1:53.3/16 = 3.33: 6.67: 3.33
= 3.33: 6.67: 3.33
3.33 : 3.33: 3.33

= 1:2:1

Empirical formula CH2O

b.
n = m/M, thus M= m/n

M= 14.4/0.24= 60gmol-1

MF= M/EFM = 60/(12 + 2 +16) = 60/30=2

MF= 2 x CH2O 2= C2H4O2

Question 3

a.

n(Fe2O3 ) = 67.3/ 159.6 = 0.42 mol

n(CO) = 84/28= 3 mol

2 marks

b. Fe2O3 : 3CO
0.42 : 3
1 :3
= 0.42 : 1,
Thus Fe2O3 is limiting, CO is in excess.
