Q: A 200.0 mg tablet of ibuprofen (C$$_{13}H$_{18}O$_2) is $$analyzed. How many molecules of ibuprofen are present in the tablet? (Molar mass = 206.29 g/mol, Avogadro's number = $$6.022 \times 10$$^{23}$$)

$$\frac{0.2000}{206.29} \times 6.022 \times 10$$^{23}$$ = 5.84 \times 10$$^{20}$$ molecules

Q: What is the mass percent of chlorine in Freon-112 ($$\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{Cl}_4\mathrm{F}_2$$)? (Atomic masses: C = 12.01, Cl = 35.45, F = 19.00)

$$\frac{4 \times 35.45}{2 \times 12.01 + 4 \times 35.45 + 2 \times 19.00} \times 100 = 58.64\%$$

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{N}_2\mathrm{O}_5$$

Question 10

Which of the following statements about the octet rule is most accurate?

Accepted Answer

Atoms form bonds to lower their potential energy, and the octet rule helps predict when this will occur.

Question 11

Which of the following is the correct formula for the ionic compound formed between aluminum and nitrogen?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{Al}_2\mathrm{N}_3$$

Question 12

Which of the following best describes a structural formula?

Accepted Answer

It shows how atoms are bonded to each other in a molecule using lines for bonds.

Question 13

A 200.0 mg tablet of ibuprofen (C$$_{13}H$_{18}O$_2) is $$analyzed. How many molecules of ibuprofen are present in the tablet? (Molar mass = 206.29 g/mol, Avogadro's number = $$6.022 	imes 10$$^{23}$$)

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{0.2000}{206.29} 	imes 6.022 	imes 10$$^{23}$$ = 5.84 	imes 10$$^{20}$$ molecules

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct name for the compound P$$_2O$_5$$?

Accepted Answer

Diphosphorus pentoxide

Question 15

Which of the following best explains why MgO has a higher melting point than NaCl?

Accepted Answer

MgO has ions with larger charges, leading to stronger electrostatic attraction.

Question 16

What is the mass percent of chlorine in Freon-112 ($$\mathrm{C}_2\mathrm{Cl}_4\mathrm{F}_2$$)? (Atomic masses: C = 12.01, Cl = 35.45, F = 19.00)

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{4 	imes 35.45}{2 	imes 12.01 + 4 	imes 35.45 + 2 	imes 19.00} 	imes 100 = 58.64\%$$
