CHM 107 Exercises 4

Q1. Analysis of a 3.67 g sample of a compound yielded 2.386 g platinum (Pt), 0.347 g
nitrogen, 0.0741 g hydrogen, and 0.867 g chlorine. What is the empirical (simplest) formula
of this compound?

Q2. A 0.954 g sample of an unknown diprotic acid, H2A, dissolved in water to make 40.00
mL acid solution. This solution is titrated with 0.509 M NaOH solution.

H2A(aq) + 2NaOH(aq) Na2A(aq) + 2H2O(I)

If 36.04 mL NaOH solution is required to titrate the acid solution to the equivalence point:

a) Calculate the molar mass of the acid.


b) Calculate the molar concentration of the acid solution.

Q3. Bismuth selenide, Bi2Se3, is used in semiconductor research. It can be prepared by the
following reaction:

2 Bi + 3 Se Bi2Se3

In a preparation experiment, 353.0 g of Bi is reacted with 287.0 g of Se according to the


above equation;

a) What is the limiting reactant?


b) What is the theoretical yield of this reaction?
c) If 321.5 g of Bi2Se3 are obtained from this preparation, what is the percentage yield of
this reaction?

Q4. Give the formula or the name for the following compounds:

i. HNO3 :
ii. Na2SO4 :
iii. N2O5 :
iv. Perchloric acid :
v. Lithium hydroxide :
vi. Iron(III) nitrate :
Q5. Naturally occurring uranium consist of two isotopes, whose masses and abundances are
shown below.

Isotope Abundance Mass


235
U 0.725 % 235.044 amu
238
U 99.275 % 238.051 amu
Only 235U can be used as a fuel in a nuclear reactor, so uranium for use in the nuclear industry
must be enriched in this isotope. If a sample of enriched uranium has an average atomic mass
of 235.684 amu, what percentage of 235U is present in this sample?

Q6. Mandelic acid is an organic acid composed of carbon (63.15% by mass), hydrogen
(5.30% by mass) and oxygen (31.55% by mass). Its molar mass is 152.14g/mol. Determine
the empirical (simplest) and the molecular formula of the acid.

Q7. Isocyanic acid, HNCO, reacts with NO2 to produce nitrogen, carbon dioxide and water.

8 HNCO + 6 NO2 7 N2 + 8 CO2 + 4 H2O

What is the theoretical yield of each product, if a reaction is initiated with 24.0 g of HNCO
and 24.0 g of NO2?

Q8. Calculate the following to the correct number of significant figures

i. ii.
