If 8 grams of sulphur(0.

25 moles) are burnt, what volume of sulfur dioxide is


produced in Normal Temperature Pressure.
8 grams of oxygen gas is needed. 0.25 moles of SO2. This means that the volume
taken up 6dm3.

An experimental data shows, that on analysis a compound contains silicon and oxygen
only. SiO2. 47% by mass of Silicon is found on analysis. Determine its formula.
SiO2

What mass of aluminium oxide is produced when 9.2 grams of aluminium metal reacts
completely with oxygen gas.
26 is the molar mass.
9.2/26 = moles of aluminium present
4Al + 3O2 ==> 2Al2O3
4:2
2:10
0.177 moles of alumina. 17.7g of alumina

Heating 12.4 grams of CuCO3 in a crucible produced only 7.0grams of CuO. What is
the percentage yield CuO?
CuCO3 ==> CuO + CO2
0.1 mole of CuCO3
0.0875 moles of CuO
0.0875/0.1 x 100 = 87.5%
