Chapter 3 : Chemical Formulae and Equations

Answer all the questions:

1. Given that the formula of a compound is KXO3 and its relative molecular mass is 167.

Find the relative atomic mass of element X? (Ar: O = 16; K = 39 )

2. The general formula of a hydrocarbon is CnH2n and the relative molecular mass of the

hydrocarbon is 84. Find the value of n.

3. What is the mass of 7.12 mol NaI. [Relative atomic gas: Iodine = 131; Sodium = 23]

4. Find the number of atoms in 34g of ammonia gas (NH3). [Relative atomic mass:

Nitrogen: 14; Hydrogen: 1]

5. A gas jar containing 200cm of oxygen gas at s.t.p. Find the mass of the oxygen gas.

[Relative atomic mass: Oxygen = 16; Molar volume of gas at s.t.p. = 22.4 dm]

6. Determine the empirical formula of a compound which has a percentage of composition

Mg: 20.2%, S: 26.6%, O: 53.2%. [Relative atomic mass: Mg = 24; S = 32; O = 16]

7. What is the mass of metal X that can combine with 14.4g of oxygen to form X oxide with

molecular formula X2O3. (RAM: O = 16; X = 56 )

8. Calculate the percentage of composition of DDT (C14H9Cl5). [Relative atomic mass:

Carbon = 14; Hydrogen = 1; Chlorine = 35.5]

9. Balance the following chemical equations:

Mg + O2 MgO

CuO + H2 Cu + H2O

Na + H2O NaOH + H2

Li + Cl2 LiCl
Answers:

1. Let's say the relative atomic mass of element X = m

The relative molecular mass of KXO3

= 39 + m + 3(16) = 167

m = 167 - 39 - 3(16) = 80

relative atomic mass of element X = 80

2. Relative molecular mass of CnH2n

= n(12) + 2n(1) = 84

14n = 84

n = 84/14 = 6

3. The relative formula mass of NaI = 23 + 131 = 154.

The mass of 7.12 mol NaI

= Number of mole x Relative Foemula Mass of NaI

= 7.12 x 154

= 1096.48g

4. Relative molecular mass of NH3

= 14 + 3(1)

= 17

Number of mole of ammonia =3417=2 mole=3417=2 mole

Number of NH3 molecules = 2 x 6.02 x 1023 = 1.204 x 1024

Each NH3 molecule contain 4 atoms (1 nitrogen atom and 3 hydrogen atoms).
Therefore, number of atoms

= 4 x 1.204 x 1024

= 4.816 x 1024

7. Number of mole of oxygen=14.416=0.9 mol

From the molecular formula, we learn that the ratio of element X to oxygen X:O = 2:3

Therefore, the number of mole of X=0.923=0.6 mol


Number of mole, n = mass

Molar mass0.6=mass56*mass=33.6g

The mass of element X = 33.6g*

Molar mass of a substance= Relative atomic mass of the substance

8. Relative molecular mass of DDT=14(12)+9(1)+5(35.5)=354.5


Percentage of carbon=14(12)354.5100%=47.4%
Percentage of hydrogen=9(1)354.5100%=2.5%
Percentage of chlorine=5(35.5)354.5100%=50.0
