Question 7

Given a compound with 74.8% carbon and 25.2% hydrogen by mass, what is its empirical formula?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{CH_4$}$$

Question 8

A solution contains 0.154 M NaCl and has a volume of 500 mL. How many moles of NaCl are present?

Accepted Answer

$$0.154 	imes 0.500 = 0.077\ \mathrm{mol}$$

Question 9

Which of the following statements about strong, weak, and nonelectrolytes is correct?

Accepted Answer

Strong electrolytes dissociate completely in water, weak electrolytes dissociate partially, and nonelectrolytes do not dissociate.

Question 10

Which of the following is the correct formula for a hydrate that is 45.43% water by mass and 54.57% CoCl$$_2 by $$mass?

Accepted Answer

$$\mathrm{$$CoCl_2$$ \cdot 4H_2O}$$

A solution that contains more solute than would be predicted to dissolve in a given amount of solvent and is unstable.

Question 13

Which equation correctly represents Beer’s Law for spectrophotometry?

Accepted Answer

$$A = ebc$$

Question 14

Which of the following is the correct calculation for the percent by mass of water in nickel(II) chloride hexahydrate, $$\mathrm{$$NiCl_2$$ \cdot 6H_2O}$$, given $$\mathrm{Ni = 58.69\ g/mol}$$, $$\mathrm{Cl = 35.45\ g/mol}$$, $$\mathrm{H_2O = 18.02\ g/mol}$$?

Accepted Answer

$$\frac{6 	imes 18.02}{58.69 + 2 	imes 35.45 + 6 	imes 18.02} 	imes 100\% = 40.48\%$$
