Model Answers: Hard

The correct answer is D because:

Steps Calculation

C + O2 → CO2
1 Reactions taking place during combustion
2C + O2 → 2CO

CO2 + 2NaOH → Na2CO2 + H2O

2 Reactions taking place when passed through NaOH
CO + NaOH – No reaction

Moles of carbon monoxide

3 0.5 / 12 = 0.0417
Moles = mass / Mr

Volume of gas remaining

0.0417 = x / 24
4 Rearrange the equation:
0.0417 x 24 = 1.0008 dm3
Amount of gas (mol) =

The correct answer is C because:

Steps Calculation

1 Reactions taking place during neutralisation 2CH3COOH + CaCO3 → (CH3COO)2Ca + CO2 + H2O

5% of 50 g
2 Find the mass of shell of an average egg
0.05 x 50 = 2.5 g

Find the moles of calcium carbonate

3 2.5 / 100 = 0.025
Moles = mass / Mr

4 Find the moles of ethanoic acid 50 cm3 of 2 mol dm-3 = (50 x 2) / 1000 = 0.1 mol
 2 moles of ethanoic acid reacts with 1 mole of calcium
carbonate

5 0.05 / 0.025 = 2 egg shells needed

0.05 mole of calcium carbonate would be needed to react with

0.1 mol of ethanoic acid

The correct answer is C because:

Steps Calculation

K2O + H2O → 2KOH

1 Reactions taking place

2KOH + H2SO4 → K2SO4 + 2H2O

Concentration x volume in dm3

2 Moles of sulfuric acid used
2.00 x 0.015 = 0.03 mol

3 Mole ratio is 2:1 So 0.06 mol of KOH will react with 0.03 mol H2SO4

Moles in the original solution

4 Moles in 25cm3 of KOH = 0.06 Moles in 250 cm3 = 0.06 x (250 / 25) = 0.6 mol

This was a sample from the original solution of 250 cm3

Moles of K2O
5 0.6 / 2 = 0.3 mol
1 mole of K2O makes 2 moles of KOH

Mass of K2O Mass = 0.3 x 94.2

6
Mass = mol x Mr = 28.26 g

The correct answer is A because:

Steps Calculation
1 Number of moles of K2Cr2O7 13.1 x 0.1 / 1000 = 1.31 x 10-3 mol

Moles of Fe = 1.31 x 10-3 x 6

2 Mole ratio is 1 mole of K2Cr2O7 reacts with 6 moles of Fe
= 7.86 x 10-3

Mass of Fe in 1.00 g Mass = 7.86 x 10-3 x 55.8

3
Mass = mol x Mr = 0.4386 g

4 % by mass of Fe in ferrochrome 0.4386 / 1.00 x 100 = 43.9%

The correct answer is B because:

Steps Calculation

CH4 + 2O2 → CO2 + 2H2O

1 Combustion reactions
C2H6 + 3.5O2 → 2CO2 + 3H2O

Moles of carbon dioxide produced

Once cooled the only product still as a gas is CO2, this will react with the
2 From the methane reaction 1 mole of CO
potassium hydroxide.
From the ethane reaction 2 moles of CO

Methane = 10 cm3

3 Volume of gas produced Ethane = 20 cm3

Total gas produced 30 cm3

The correct answer is C because:

Steps Calculation

Sn2+ → Sn4+ + 2e-

1 Reactions (from the data booklet)
MnO4 + 8H+ + 5e- → Mn2+ + 4H2O

5Sn2+ → 5Sn4+ + 10e-

2 Balance electrons in each equation
2MnO4 + 16H+ + 10e- → 2Mn2 + 8H2O
3 Add the two equations 5Sn2+ + 2MnO4 + 16H+ → 5Sn4+ + 2Mn2+ + 8H2O

2 moles of MnO4- reacts with 5 moles of Sn2+ Mol = mass / Mr x 0.4

4 or = 9.5 / 190 x 0.4

0.4 MnO4- moles react with 1 mole of Sn2+ = 0.02 mol

The correct answer is D because:

Steps Calculation

Mr = 261.3
1 Moles of barium nitrate
Moles = 0.783 / 261.3 = 0.0029

3 moles of barium nitrate produces 3 moles of Nitrogen

2 Volume N2 = 0.0029 x 24000 = 71.9 cm3
3
Volume cm = moles x 24000

The correct answer is B because:

Steps Calculation

1 Reaction CH3CH2OH → CH3COOH

Moles of ethanol Mr = 46
2
Moles = mass / Mr Moles = 2.76 / 46 = 0.06

Mass of CH3COOH (Mr 60)

3 1: 1 ratio so moles of CH3COOH = 0.06
Mass = 0.06 x 60 = 3.6

4 75 % yield 75 / 100 x 3.6 = 2.7 g

The correct answer is D because:

Steps Calculation

1 Write out both reactions CaSO4 + 2H+ → H2SO4

 H2SO4 + 2KOH → K2SO4 + 2H2O

Moles of potassium hydroxide Volume = 0.025 dm3

2
Moles = volume x concentration Moles = 0.025 x 1.0 x 10-2 = 0.00025 mol

Mole ratio
3 Moles of sulfuric acid = 0.000125 mol
2 moles of potassium hydroxide with 1 sulfuric acid

Concentration of Calcium sulfate Concentration = 0.000125 / (50 / 1000)

4
Concentration = moles / volume = 0.0025 or 2.5 x10-3 mol dm-3

The correct answer is A because:

Steps Calculation

1 Reaction PbCl2 + 2NaBr → PbCl2 + Br2 + 2NaCl

Moles of lead chloride Mr = 349

2
Moles = mass / Mr Moles = 6.980 / 349 = 0.02 mol

Ratio 1:1 so moles Br2 = 0.02

3 Mass of Br2 Mass = 0.02 x 159.8 = 3.196 g

Mass = moles x Mr
