The oxidising agent is: O2

2.7 Rank the following in terms of incresing acid strength: HF, H2SO4, NH3 [1]

PART B: Longer questions [17 marks]

1. Household bleach is a solution of sodium hypochlorite (NaOC) in water. What is the

molar concentration (molarity) of a bleach solution that contains 20,5 g sodium
hypochlorite in a total volume of 375 cm3?

n (NaCl) = 20.5 g / 74.4 g/mol = 2.75 x 10-1 mol

c (NaCl) = 2.75 x 10-1 mol / 0.375 dm3 = 7.34 x 10-1 mol.dm-3

2. Ammonia can be prepared by the following reaction:

CaO (s) + 2 NH4C (s) → 2 NH3 (g) + H2O (g) + CaC2 (s)

112 g of CaO and 224 g of NH4C are mixed.

Mm(CaO) = 56,1 g/mol

Answer the following questions: Mm(NH4C) = 53,5 g/mol

Mm(NH3) = 17,0 g/mol

a. Determine which reactant is limiting.

n (CaO) = 112 g / 56.1 g/mol = 2.00 mol

Therefore, n (NH3) = 2 x 2.00 mol = 4.00 mol

n (NH4Cl) = 224 g / 53.5 g/mol = 4.19 mol

Therefore, n (NH3) = 4.19 mol

Therefore, CaO is the limiting reagent

b. If only 16,3 g of ammonia is actually obtained, what is the percent yield?

n (NH3) = 4.00 mol

m (NH3) = (4.00 mol) x (17.0 g/mol) = 68.0 g

3. The compound known as carvone has the following composition: 79,96 % C; 9,394 %
H and 10,65 % O.

3.1 What is the empirical formula of carvone?

In 100 g of carvone, we have:

m (C) = 79.96 g Therefore, n (C) = 6.657 mol

m (H) = 9.394 g Therefore, n (H) = 9.319 mol

m (O) = 10.65 g Therefore, n (O) = 0.6657 mol

5
 STUDENT NUMBER

n (C) / n (O) = 10 / 1

n (H) / n (O) = 14 / 1

Therefore, the Empirical formula = C10H14O

3.2 If the molar mass of carvone is 150,2 g·mol–1, what is its molecular formula?

Since Mm (C10H14O) = 150.2 g/mol

the molecular formula and empirical formula must be the same.

Molecular formula = C10H14O

4. Europium, Eu, has two naturally occurring isotopes: 151Eu (150,9 amu) and 153Eu

(152,9 amu). What are the relative abundances (in %) of these isotopes?

Avg atomic mass = x (150.9 amu) + (1-x) (152.9 amu)

From the Periodic table, the average atomic mass is: 152.0 amu

We solve for x:

150.2 = 150.9 (x) + 152.9 – 152.9 (x)

Therefore, x = 0.45

Relative abundances: 151Eu: 45 %

153Eu: 55 %
