ATOMS AND MOLECULES


1. A 0.24 g sample of compound of oxygen and boron was found by analysis to contain 0.096 g of boron and 0.144 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage composition of the compound by weight.


2. When 3.0 g of carbon is burnt in 8.00 g oxygen, 11.00 g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00 g of carbon is burnt in 50.00 g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer?


3. What are polyatomic ions? Give examples.


4. Write the chemical formulae of the following.


(a) Magnesium chloride

(b) Calcium oxide

(c) Copper nitrate

(d) Aluminium chloride

(e) Calcium carbonate.


5. Give the names of the elements present in the following compounds.

(a) Quick lime

(b) Hydrogen bromide

(c) Baking powder

(d) Potassium sulphate.


6. Calculate the molar mass of the following substances.

(a) Ethyne, C₂H₂

(b) Sulphur molecule, S8

(c) Phosphorus molecule, P, (Atomic mass of  phosphorus=31)

(d) Hydrochloric acid, HCI

(e) Nitric acid, HNO3


7. What is the mass of-

(a) 1 mole of nitrogen atoms?

(b) 4 moles of aluminium atoms (Atomic mass of aluminium=27)?

(c) 10 moles of sodium sulphite (Na2So3)?


8. Convert into mole.

(a) 12 g of oxygen gas

(b) 20 g of water

(c) 22 g of carbon dioxide.


9. What is the mass of:

(a) 0.2 mole of oxygen atoms?

(b) 0.5 mole of water molecules?


10. Calculate the number of molecules of sulphur (S8) present in 16 g of solid sulphur. 


11. Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051 g of aluminium oxide.

(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al=27 u)
