II. PROBLEM SOLVING. Solve the following problems completely. All solutions to the problems should be handwritten. Please write
legibly and present your solutions neatly. Express finals answers in 4 decimal places, if applicable. The use of a calculator and a
periodic table of elements is permitted. Problem statements may/may not be transferred to your answer sheet.

1) What mass of copper could be deposited from a copper (II) sulfate solution using a current of 0.50 A over 100 seconds? (5pts)

2) Balance this redox reaction using the half-reaction method. (5pts)

K2Cr2O7 + FeSO4 + H2SO4 → Cr2(SO4)3 + Fe2(SO4)3 + K2SO4 + H2 O

3) Determine the cell notation of this electrochemical cell, regardless of spontaneity. (5pts)
Cu (s) + Ni+2 (aq) → Cu+2 (aq) + Ni (s)

4) After 300 days have elapsed, 87% of a radioisotope sample decayed. What is the half-life of the radioisotope in minutes? (5pts)

5) Element G has a quarter life of 10 hrs. If there are 65 grams of element G after the time equivalent to thrice the half-life, how
many milligrams of element G are present initially? (10pts)

6) Octane contains only C and H. Combustion of 30 g of octane produced 92.63 grams of CO2 and 42.63 grams H2O. The molar
mass of octane is 114 g. Calculate the empirical formula and the molecular formula of octane. (10pts)

7) 10 moles of methane, CH4, is burned in a furnace. If the dry air used in the combustion of methane has no excess, and the flue
gas has nitrogen, carbon dioxide, water, and free oxygen, what would be the complete analysis of the flue gas? (15pts)

8) The empirical formula of a compound is C5H11. What is R, the ratio of the molecular weight to the empirical weight, if the
molecular weight of the compound is 142 mg/mmol? (5pts)

9) A solution is made by dissolving 0.100 mole of NaCl in 8.60 mole of water.

a) What is the mole fraction of the solute?
b) What is the mass percent of the solute?
c) What is the molality of the solute? (15pts)

10) An automobile antifreeze mixture is made by mixing equal volumes of ethylene glycol (SG= 1.114; MW = 62.07 g/mole) and
water at 20oC. The density of the mixture is 1.070 g/mL. Express the concentration of ethylene glycol as
a) Volume percent
b) Mass percent
c) Molarity
d) Molality
e) Mole fraction (15pts)
