CLASS: IX; SUBJECT: CHEMISTRY

Q1. A sample of a chlorofluorocarbon (CFC) contains 0.48 g of carbon, 0.76 g of fluorine
and 2.84 g of chlorine.
(i) Show, by calculation, that the empirical formula of the CFC is CFCl2
(ii) The relative formula mass of the CFC is 204.
Deduce the molecular formula of the CFC.
Solution

Element Carbon Fluorine Chlorine

Mass (Grams) 0.48 0.76 2.84
Mr 12 19 35.5
Number of Mole = 0.48/12 0.76/19 2.84/35.5
Mass/Mr = 0.04 = 0.04 = 0.08
Divide by smallest 0.04/0.04 0.04/0.04 0.08/0/04
value =1 =1 =2
Ratio 1 1 2
Empirical Formula is CFCl2
Molecular Formula = Empirical Formula x Ratio
Ratio = Molecular Mass / Empirical Formula Mass

Empirical Formula Mass = (12 x 1) + (19 x 1) + (35.5 x 2) = 102

So, Ratio = 204/ 102 = 2
Therefore,
Molecular Formula = (CFCl2) x 2 = C2F2Cl4

Q2. Complete the chemical equation for the reaction between calcium and hydrochloric
acid is.

Ca + 2HCl → CaCL2 + H2
The student uses 0.090 g of calcium and 0.023 mol of hydrochloric acid.
Show by calculation that the hydrochloric acid is in excess.
Solution:
Given Mass of Calcium = 0.090 g
From Periodic Table, Mr. of Calcium = 40
So, Number of mole of Calcium reacted = Mass/Mr = 0.090/40 = 0.0025 mole
From the equation: Ca + 2HCl → CaCL2 + H2
1 mole calcium reacts with 2 moles of HCL
So, number of mole of HCl needed = 2 x Number of mole of Calcium reacted

`
= 2 x 0.0025 = 0.0043 mole.

Given, HCL used = 0.023 mole which is Greater than 0.0043 mole.
So, HCL was in excess. (shown)

Q3. (a) A sample of copper contains two isotopes.

• Cu-63 with relative abundance 72.3%
• Cu-65 with relative abundance 27.7%
(i) Calculate the relative atomic mass (Ar) of this sample of copper. ive your answer to
two decimal places.
Solution:
(63 𝑥 72.3)+(65 𝑥 27.7)
Relative Atomic Mass = = 63.5
100

(b) A student performs an experiment to find the value of x in the formula CuSO4.xH2O.
This is the student’s method.
• Find the mass of an empty boiling tube.
• Add hydrated copper (II) sulfate to the tube and record the new mass.
• Heat the hydrated copper (II) sulfate until it changes colour.
• Allow the tube to cool and record the mass again.
• The student’s results are shown below:

mass of empty tube in (g) 30.62

mass of tube and CuSO4.xH2O in (g) 41.87
mass of tube and CuSO4 in (g) 38.30
(i) Calculate the mass of CuSO4 formed.
Solution:
mass of CuSO4 formed
= (mass of tube and CuSO4 ) - (mass of empty tube)
= 38.30 – 30.62 = 7.68 gram

(ii) Calculate the mass of water formed.

Solution:
mass of water formed
= (mass of tube and CuSO4.xH2O) - (mass of tube and CuSO4)
= 41.87 – 38.30 = 3.57 gram

(iii) Show that the value of x is approximately 4

[Mr of CuSO4 = 159.5 Mr of H2O = 18]
Solution

`
 Element CuSO4 H2O

Mass (Grams) 7.68 3.57

Mr 160 18

Number of Mole = 7.68 / 160 3.57 / 18

Mass/Mr
= 0.048 = 0.198

Divide by smallest 0.048/0.048 0.198/0.048

value
=1 =4

Ratio 1 4

Therefore, CuSO4.xH2O = CuSO4.4H2O

So, X = 4

4. A mixture of zinc powder and copper (II) oxide is heated.

The chemical equation for the reaction that takes place is
Zn + CuO → ZnO + Cu
(a) Calculate the mass of zinc that is required to react with 200 gram of copper (II)
oxide.
(Ar: Zn = 65, Cu = 63.5 and O = 16)
Solution:
Mr. of CuO = 63.5 + 16 = 79.5
Given,
Mass of CuO = 200 gram
Number of mole = Mass / Mr = 200 / 79.5 = 2.5 mole

From the equation: Zn + CuO → ZnO + Cu

1 mole of Zn reacts with 1 mole of CuO

Therefore, Number of mole of Zn required = Number of mole of CuO = 2.5 mole

Mass of Zn required = Number of Mole x Mr = 2.5 x 65 = 163. 5 grams

Q5. The formula for hydrated copper (II) sulfate is CuSO4.xH2O
The value of x is a whole number between 1 and 10. It can be determined by carrying
out a titration with 0.0300 mol/dm3 potassium manganate (VII) (KMnO4) solution as
follows:
• Dissolve a sample of CuSO4.xH2O in water to make 250 cm3 of solution
• Measure out 25.0 cm3 of this solution into a conical flask
• Add the KMnO4 solution using a burette until the end point is reached
• Record the volume of solution added
• Repeat the titration three more times
The table shows the results.

(a) Concordant results are those within 0.20 cm3 of each other. Place ticks () in the
table to show the concordant results.
Solution
The concordant results are: 22.10 cm3and 22.20 cm3
(b) Using the concordant results, calculate the average (mean) volume of KMnO4
solution added. Give your answer to 2 decimal places.
Solution
Average volume of KMnO4 = (22.10 + 22.20) / 2 = 22.15 cm3
(c) These results were obtained in another titration.
Mass of CuSO4.H2O in 250 cm3 of the CuSO4 solution = 6.32 g
Average volume of KMnO4 solution added to 25 cm3 of solution = 20 cm3
Concentration of the KMnO4 solution = 0.0300 mol/dm3

(i) Calculate the amount, in moles, of KMnO4 in 20.00 cm3 of solution.

Solution
𝑉𝑜𝑙𝑢𝑚𝑒 𝑥 𝐶𝑜𝑛𝑐𝑒𝑛𝑡𝑟𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 20 𝑥 0.0300
Number of mole of KMnO4 = = = 0.0006 mole
1000 1000

(ii) In this reaction one mole of KMnO4 reacts with five moles of CuSO4
Calculate the amount, in moles, of CuSO4 in 25.0 cm3 of the CuSO4 solution.
Solution
Number of mole of CuSO4 = 5 x Number of mole of KMnO4 = 5 x 0.0006 = 0.003 mole

(iii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of CuSO4 in 250 cm3 of this CuSO4 solution.
Solution
Number of mole of CuSO4 in 25 cm3 = 0.003 mole
So, Number of mole of CuSO4 in 250 cm3 = 0.003 x 10 mole = 0.03 mole.
(Because 25 x 10 = 250)

`
(iv) Using your answer from (d)(iii), calculate the mass, in grams, of CuSO4 in the 6.32 g
of CuSO4.xH2O.
[Mr of CuSO4 = 160]
Solution
Mass of CuSO4 = Number in mole x Mr. = 0.03 mole x 160 = 4.8 gram

(e) In another experiment it is found that 24.2 g of CuSO4.xH2O contains 15.2 g of copper
(II) sulfate (CuSO4).
(i) Calculate the mass of water in 24.2 g of CuSO4.xH2O.
Solution
Mass of Water = (Mass of CuSO4.xH2O) – (Mass of CuSO4) = 24.2 – 15.2 = 9 gram

(ii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of H2O in this mass of water.

Solution
Mr. of Water (H2O) = (1 x 2) + (16 x 1) = 18
Number of mole of water = Mass / Mr = 9 / 18 = 0.5 mole

(iii) Calculate the amount, in moles, of CuSO4 in 15.2 g of copper (II) sulfate.
[Mr of CuSO4 = 160]
Solution
Number of mole of CuSO4 = Mass / Mr = 15.2 / 160 = 0.095 mole.
(iv) Using your answers to parts (ii) and (iii), calculate the value of x in CuSO4.xH2O.
Solution:
Method 1:

𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑾𝒂𝒕𝒆𝒓 𝟎.𝟓

X= = =5
𝑵𝒖𝒎𝒃𝒆𝒓 𝒐𝒇 𝑴𝒐𝒍𝒆 𝒐𝒇 𝑪𝒖𝑺𝑶𝟒 𝟎.𝟎𝟗𝟓

Method 2

Element CuSO4 H2O

Mass (Grams) 15.2 9
Mr 160 18
Number of Mole = 15.2 / 160 9 / 18
Mass/Mr = 0.095 = 0.5
Divide by smallest 0.095/0.095 0.5/0.095
value =1 =5
Ratio 1 5

Therefore, CuSO4.xH2O = CuSO4.5H2O

So, X = 5
