E. (2 pts.) Balance each chemical equation.

1. ___N2O5 (g) →___NO2 (g) + ___O2 (g)
= 2N2O5 (g) → 4NO2 (g) + 1O2 (g OR 2N2O5 (g) → 4NO2 (g) + O2 (g

2. ___Sc2O3 (s) + ___H2O (l) ___Sc(OH) → 3 (s)

= Sc2O3 (s) + 3H2O (l) 2Sc(OH) → 3 (s) OR 1Sc2O3 (s) + 3H2O (l) 2Sc(OH) → 3 (s)

3. ___CH3NH2 (g) + ___O2 → ___CO2 (g) + ___H2O (g) + ___N2 (g)

= 4CH3NH2 (g) + 9O2 →4 CO2 (g) + 10 H2O (g) + 2 N2 (g)

4. Aluminum and hydrochloric acid react to form aluminum chloride and hydrogen gas.
= 2AI + 6 HCI → 2AICI3 + 3H2

5. Silicon dioxide solid plus aqueous hydrofluoric acid yields solid silicon tetrafluoride plus liquid
water

= SIO2 +4HF → SI F4 +2H2 O or 1SIO2 +4HF → 1SI F4 +2H2O

F. (3 pts.) Calculate the following quantities
6. Mass (g) of solute in 185.8 ml of 0.267 M calcium acetate (Ca(C2H3O2)2)
= 7.84g
7. Molarity of 500 ml of solution containing 21.1 g potassium iodide.
= 0.127molKI
8. Amount (mol) of solute in 145.6 L of 0.850 M sodium cyanide (NaCN)
= 123.76molNACN
9. Molarity of a solution prepared by diluting 37.00 ml of 0.250 M potassium chloride to
150.00 ml.
= 0.062M KCI
10. Molarity of a solution prepared by diluting 25.71 ml of 0.0706 M ammonium sulfate to
500.00 ml
= 3.630M KCI

G. (5 pts.) Comprehensive Problems

11. Nitrogen dioxide is a component of urban smog that forms gases in car exhaust. How
many molecules are in 8.92 g of nitrogen dioxide? (NA = 6.022 x 1023 molecules/mol)

= 1.17x10²³ molecules NO2

12 A sample of an unknown compound contains 0.21 mol of zinc, 0.14 mol of phosphorus,
and 0.56 mol of oxygen. What is the empirical formula of the unknown compound?

= Zn3P2 O8

13. During excessive physical activity, lactic acid (Molar Mass = 90.06 g/mol) forms in
muscle tissue and is responsible for muscle soreness. Elemental analysis shows that the
compound contains 40.0% of C, 6.71% of H and 53.3% of O.
a. Determine the empirical formula of lactic acid
b. Determine the molecular formula
= A. CH2O Emperical Formula
= B. C3H6O3 Molecular Formula
14. Many metals react with oxygen gas to form the metal oxide. For example, calcium reacts
as follows:
2Ca(s) + O2 (g)→ 2CaO(s)
You wish to calculate the mass (g) of calcium oxide that can be prepared from 4.20 g
of Ca and 2.80 g of O2.
a) What amount (mol) of CaO can be produced from the given mass of calcium?
b) b) What amount (mol) of CaO can be produced from the given mass of oxygen
gas?

= A. 0.105 mol CaO

= B. 0.175 mol Cao

15. Phosphorus reacts with bromine to form phosphorus tribromide. If 35.0 grams of
bromine are reacted and 27.9 grams of phosphorus tribromide are formed, what is
the percent yield?
P + Br2 PBr → 3

= 70.63 ％
