Question 50

A solution is prepared by dissolving 10.0 g of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) in 250 mL of water. Calculate the molarity of the solution.

Accepted Answer

Moles of NaOH = (10.0 g NaOH) / (40.00 g/mol NaOH) = 0.250 mol
Molarity = (0.250 mol NaOH) / (0.250 L solution) = 1.00 M

Answer

Molarity = (10.0 g NaOH) * (250 mL solution) = 2500 M

Answer

Moles of NaOH = (250 mL solution) / (10.0 g NaOH) = 0.004 mol

Question 51

In a reaction between magnesium (Mg) and hydrochloric acid (HCl), which reactant is limiting if 2.0 g of Mg and 10.0 g of HCl are used?

Accepted Answer

Moles of Mg = (2.0 g Mg) / (24.31 g/mol Mg) = 0.082 mol
Moles of HCl = (10.0 g HCl) / (36.46 g/mol HCl) = 0.274 mol
According to the stoichiometry of the balanced equation, 1 mol Mg reacts with 2 mol HCl. Therefore, 0.082 mol Mg would require 0.164 mol HCl.
Since only 0.274 mol of HCl is available, HCl is in excess and Mg is the limiting reactant.

Answer

Mg is the limiting reactant because it has a lower molar mass

Question 52

Calculate the percentage yield of a reaction if 10.0 g of product is obtained from a reaction that should theoretically yield 20.0 g of product.

Accepted Answer

(Actual yield / Theoretical yield) * 100% = (10.0 g / 20.0 g) * 100% = 50%

Answer

200%

Answer

10%

Question 53

What is the mass of oxygen produced when 5.0 g of potassium chlorate (KClO3) is completely decomposed?

Accepted Answer

Moles of KClO3 = (5.0 g KClO3) / (122.55 g/mol KClO3) = 0.041 mol
From the balanced equation: 2 KClO3 → 2 KCl + 3 O2
0.041 mol KClO3 produces (3/2) * 0.041 mol = 0.0615 mol O2
Mass of oxygen = (0.0615 mol O2) * (32.00 g/mol O2) = 1.97 g

Answer

Accepted Answer

Moles of NaCl = Concentration * Volume
0.100 mol NaCl = 0.250 M * Volume
Volume = 0.100 mol NaCl / 0.250 M = 0.400 L

Answer

Insufficient information provided to determine the volume

Question 58

Determine the empirical formula of a compound that contains 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen by mass.

Accepted Answer

Convert percentages to grams:
40.0 g C, 6.7 g H, 53.3 g O
Divide by respective molar masses:
40.0 g C / (12.01 g/mol) = 3.33 mol C
6.7 g H / (1.01 g/mol) = 6.63 mol H
53.3 g O / (16.00 g/mol) = 3.33 mol O
Find the simplest whole number ratio: Divide each by the smallest number of moles (3.33 mol)
3.33 mol C / 3.33 mol = 1 mol C
6.63 mol H / 3.33 mol ≈ 2 mol H
3.33 mol O / 3.33 mol = 1 mol O
Empirical formula: CH2O
