B. The Mole Concept

1. Consider the reaction below:

NH3 + NO2 —>N2 + H2O
Calculate the number of moles of each reactant if there are 27.89 moles of N2
produced.

3. A street drug has the following composition: 83.89% C, 10.35% H, 5.76% N.

Determine its empirical formula.

4. Benzene is a hydrocarbon, a compound of carbon and hydrogen only. It is found

to contain 7.74% H by mass. Its molar mass is 78.10 gmol-. Determine its empirical
and molecular formulas.

5. A weak acid has a molar mass of 162 gmol-. Analysis of a 0.8821 g sample showed
the composition by mass is 0.0220 g H, 0.3374 g P, and the remainder was O.

6. A 2.546g sample of a compound was burned in an excess of oxygen. Carbon

dioxide was collected and weighed 4.98 g. The water collected weighed 3.56 g. In a
separate experiment, 4.738 g of compound were reacted to form 1.79 g of
ammonia (NH3). What is the empirical formula of this compound?

7. A 0.30 g sample of a compound that contains only carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen
was burned in excess oxygen. The products were 0.66 g of carbon dioxide and 0.36
g of water. Determine the empirical formula of the compound.
