IMPORTANT-applies to many things in chemistry

 

What are the super 7 elements (that form bonds with another atom of their element type)

 

Ex:   X2 <----(this would be a super 7)

answer

H, Cl, F, O, Br, I, N

(all of these would naturally appear like so:

H2, Cl2, F2, O2, Br2, I2, N2)

question
Molar mass is measured with the unit ______
answer
grams/mole (g/mole)
question
How would you find the molar mass of anything?
answer
You would add up the atomic masses of the individual elements that make it up.
question
Find the molar mass of CaCl2.
answer
around 110.98 g/mole
question
How many molecules of O2 are found in 34 moles of O2?
answer
2.05 x 1025 molecules of O2
question
30 grams of CaCl2 contains _______ grams of Cl
answer

around 19.17 grams of Cl


How to solve these:

 

1. Convert the initial quantity into moles (in this case, convert 30 grams of CaCl2 into moles of CaCl2)

 

2. Find the number of moles of the element that you are trying to find in the compound (in this case, we are tring to find moles of Cl that are in the compound CaCl2)

 

-do this by looking at the number associated with it in the compound (in this case, the number 2 is along with Cl, so there are 2 moles of Cl in the compound).

 

3. The number you got in step #2 is not the final answer, you must multiply everything you have done so far, like so (this is for this specific problem):

 

30 grams of CaCl2    1 mole of CaCl2    x   2 moles of Cl

                1                  110.98 grams CaCl2      1 mole  CaCl2                                                             


Then convert the answer you got (which should be in moles of Cl in this case) into whatever units the problem asks for (in this case, we will covert it into grams of Cl, and we will get: 19.17 grams of Cl)


 


question

Al2(SO4)3 contains ________ moles of Oxygen

 

(you should not need to calculate anything) 

answer
12 moles of Oxygen
question
Find the percent composition of Na in the compound NaH2PO4
answer

 around 19.17%,

 

The equation for these kinds of problems is:

 

Molar mass of element you are trying to find (in this case Na)

?

Total molar mass of the compound 

|

|

V

And then multiply that answer by 100




question
Convert 25 grams of Fe into molecules of Fe
answer
around 2.69 x 1023 molecules of Fe
question

How many moles of NaOH are required to form 0.2 moles of Al(OH)3 according to the equation:

 

3NaOH + AlCl3 = Al(OH)3 + 3NaCl

 

A) 0.1 mole   B) 1 mole   C) 3 moles   D) 0.6 moles

answer

D) 0.6 moles


Here is the equation for these kinds of problems:


1: Take the intial quantity (in this case, 0.2 moles of Al(OH)3)


2: And then convert it into moles (it is already done for us in this problem, we have it in moles of Al(OH)3 already)


3: Find the number of moles of the element/compound that you are trying to find in the problem (in this case, we are trying to find moles of NaOH)

-in order to do this, look at the number in front of the element/compound in the equation (which is a 3 in front of NaOH in this equation, so 3 is the number of moles of NaOH in this equation)


4: That number of moles in step #3 is not the final answer, you must multiply and divide anything you did in this equation so far. I will show this below (this is for this one specific problem):


0.2 moles of Al(OH3)  x  3 moles of NaOH = 0.6 moles of NaOH          

1            1 mole of Al(OH3)

You can use your periodic table

answer
3
question

When the two form bonds with eachother, which one has more control over the valence electrons?

A. Ca                B. O

C. Neither of them have more power over the electrons

D. It is almost impossible to conceive which one because every bond is different

answer
B. O
question

Hydrogen forms _____ bonds (maximum)

Why?

 

answer
1; because it only needs to make one bond, therefore giving up one electron, with another element in order to have 8 valence electrons

1. What is the Combined Gas Law?

2. What are the units used in it?

answer

1.   P1V1  =  P2V2

      T1          T2    

 

2. YOU CAN USE ANY UNITS!!!! no joke, as long as you use the same ones throughout the entire equation.

But temperature (T) MUST be Kelvin (K)

question

1. What is the other equation that begins with P = (blank)

                                                                     (blank)

2. What do the variables stand for?

 

3. What are the units used in it?

answer

1. P = DRT

          MM

 

2. (pressure) = (density)(0.0821)(temp)

                    (molar mass)
