Part III. Problem solving

1. A flask that has a mass of 345.8 g is filled with 225 mL of CCl4. The mass of the flask
and CCl4 is found to be 703.55 g. Calculate:
a. the mass of CCl4, and
Mass of CCl4 = 703.55 g - 345.8 g = 357.75 g
b. its density in kg/L
Density = Mass / Volume
Density = 357.75 g / 225 ml = 1.59 g/ml
(1.59 g /1 ml) x (1kg / 1000g) x (1000ml / 1L) = 1.59 kg/L
2. Silver and gold have a density of 10.5 g/cm3 and 19.3 g/cm3, respectively. Which
would have a lesser mass, 5 cm3 Ag or 5 cm3 Au?

- Clearly, Silver will have a lesser mass, as it has a lesser density than gold.

Explanation:

DENSITY = Mass/volume
MASS OF SILVER = 10.5g.cm - 3x5cm3 = 52.5g
MASS OF GOLD = 19.3g.cm- 3x5cm3 = 100g

3. Find the percentage composition of: a. Ca in Ca(OH)2 b. CuSO4 in CuSO4 .5H2O.

A. Ca in Ca(OH)2 = 54.09%

Elements Number of atoms x Mass of element = Total mass of element Percentage composition

Ca 1 x 40.08 = 40.08 40.0874.10x100= 54.09%

O 2 x 16.00 = 32.00 32.0074.10x100= 43.18%

H 2 x 1.01 = +2.02 2.0274.10x100= 2.73%

Total: 74.10 g/mol =100%

B. CuSO4 in CuSO4 .5H2O = 36.06%

CuSO4 .5H2O → 5(molar mass of water)

CuSO4 .5H2O 5(18.00)
↓ =90.00 g/mol
Molar mass of whole compound
M = 159.61 g/mol + 90.00 g/mol m= 249.61 g/mol
%Composition = 90.00 g/mol249.61 g/molx100
%composition = 36.06%
4. Naphthalene is a soft covalent solid often used in mothballs. Its molar mass is 128
g/mol and it contains 93.75% carbon and 6.25% hydrogen. Determine the molecular
formula of naphthalene.

C = 93.71/12 = 7.8 H = 6.29/ 1 = 6.29

C = RATIO: 7.8/6.29 = 1.25 H = 6.29/6.29 = 1

Empirical Formula = C H 5 4

5(12) + 4(1)n = 128 (C5H4)2

60 + 4n = 128
n = 128/64
n=2

Molecular formula of naphthalene = C10H8

5. Gas X is found to be 24.0% carbon and 76% fluorine by mass.

a. Determine the empirical formula of gas X.
b. Given that the molar mass of gas X is 200 g/mol, determine its molecular formula.

A.

Elements Mass (g) Atomic mass No. of moles Ratio (n/n*)

C 24 12 24/12=2 2/2=1

F 76 19 76/19=4 4/2=2

Total basis =100.00 CF

Therefore the Empirical Formula of Gas X is C1F2

B.

F= 19x2 = 38
12+38=50

MM 200g/mol

M.F = [CF2] x 4 = C4F8

The Molecular formula of the Gas X is C4F8
