Quiz 2 Chapter 3 The Mole Concept, Chemical Formulae and Equations

1. Diagram 1 shows a water disposal site. The activity of microorganism in the waste produces methane gas, CH4.

(a) Complete the relationship below.

Mass of methane = number of moles methane x

Volume of methane = number of moles of methane x

Number of methane molecules = number of moles of methane x

[3 marks]

(b) (i) Calculate the mass of methane at room conditions.

[Molar volume of gas = 24 dm3 mol-1 at room conditions. Relative atomic mass: C= 12; H=1]

[2 marks]

(ii) Calculate the number of methane molecules produced.

[Avogadro constant: 6.02 x 1023 mol -1]

2. The mass of an atom is very small. Therefore, a chemist determine the mass of an atom by comparing the
mass of the atom with another atom which is called relative atomic mass. Diagram 2 shows the comparison of
mass between atom X with atom carbon-12.
