Question 1

Which of the following compounds is correctly classified as molecular, and why?

Accepted Answer

IF7, because both elements are non-metals.

Question 2

Which of the following formulas is incorrect for an ionic compound, and what is the correct formula?

Accepted Answer

CaNO3, because Ca2+ and NO3- must combine in a 1:2 ratio. The correct formula is $Ca(NO_3)_2$.

Question 3

Accepted Answer

$C_1H_1O_1$

Question 4

Which of the following is the correct process for determining the limiting reactant in a reaction?

Accepted Answer

Calculate the moles of each reactant and compare the mole ratios to the balanced equation.

Question 5

If 40,000 g of LiOH is available, how many moles of CO2 can be treated according to the reaction $2LiOH + CO_2 \rightarrow Li_2CO_3 + H_2O$?

Accepted Answer

835 mol CO2

Question 6

A sample contains 0.072 mol H and 0.0566 mol C. If the total mass of the sample is 1.000 g, what is the mass of oxygen present?

Accepted Answer

0.247 g

Question 7

Which of the following is the correct empirical formula for a compound with the following mole ratios: C: 3.67, H: 4.68, O: 1.00?

Accepted Answer

Accepted Answer

8.6 mol

Question 9

If the percentage yield for the reaction $Cu_2CO_3(OH)_2 \rightarrow CuO$ is 95%, how many moles of $Cu_2CO_3(OH)_2$ are required to produce 334 mol of CuO?

Accepted Answer

1.8 x $10^2$ mol
