1) a) How many moles in 5.74 kg of calcium nitrate, Ca(NO3)2. Mr = 164 moles = = 35 mol
𝟏𝟔𝟒

b) What is the mass of 0.025 moles of methane, CH4? 16 x 0.025 = 0.40 g

2) a) What maximum mass of ammonia that can be made when N2 + 3H2 → 2NH3
11.2 g of nitrogen reacts with an excess of hydrogen?

𝟏𝟏.𝟐
moles N2 = = 0.40 mol
𝟐𝟖

moles NH3 = 0.40 x 2 = 0.80 mol

mass NH3 = 17 x 0.80 = 13.6 g

b) In a reaction, 3.0 g of ammonia was formed from 11.2 g of nitrogen. Calculate the percentage yield.

3) Calculate the percentage atom economy to make ethanol C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2
(C2H5OH) by fermentation of glucose.

C6H12O6 → 2C2H5OH + 2CO2

Mr 180 46
Mass 180g 2(46)g

𝟐(𝟒𝟔)
% atom economy = x 100 = 51.1%

4) What volume of hydrogen gas is formed, measured at room Mg + H2SO4 → MgSO4 + H2

temperature and pressure, when 0.36 g of magnesium reacts with
sulfuric acid?

𝟎.𝟑𝟔
moles Mg = = 0.015 mol
𝟐𝟒

moles H2 = 0.015 mol

3
volume H2 = 24 x 0.015 = 0.36 dm

5) What volume of oxygen gas reacts with 100 cm of propane gas C3H8 + 5O2 → 3CO2 + 4H2O
(both gases are at room temperature and pressure)?

3
volume O2 = 5 x 100 = 500 cm

 6) 4.2 g of lithium (Li) reacts with 2.8 g of nitrogen (N2). Find the simplest molar ratio in which lithium reacts with
nitrogen.

𝟒.𝟐 𝟐.𝟖
Moles of Li = = 0.60 mol Moles of N2 = = 0.10 mol
𝟕 𝟐𝟖

Reacting ratio Li : N2 = 0.60 : 0.10 = 6 : 1

∴ 6 Li + N2 →

7) Magnesium reacts with bromine to form magnesium bromide. When Mg + Br2 → MgBr2
1.2 g of magnesium reacts with 2.0 g of bromine, which is the limiting
reagent and what mass of magnesium bromide is formed?

𝟏.𝟐
moles Mg = = 0.050 mol
𝟐𝟒

𝟐.𝟎
moles Br2 = = 0.0125 mol
𝟏𝟔𝟎

Br2 is limiting reagent and so 0.0125 mol of MgBr2 is formed

Mass MgBr2 = 184 x 0.0125 = 2.3 g
