    1. The question about air
    (a)
    (i) Molar mass of N2 = 2(14.01) = 28.02 g mol–1; Molar mass of O2 = 2(16.00) =
    32.00 g mol–1; Molar mass of Ar = 39.95 g mol–1
    (ii) Mass of 1 mole of air = 29.0 g to three significant figures

    (b)
    (i) Volume of the troposphere = 5.11 x 1021 dm3
    (ii) Mass of air in the troposphere = 6.17 x 1021 g
    If other values given in question were used then:
    Volume of Molar mass of Mass of air in
    troposphere/ air / g mol-1 troposphere / g
    dm3

    6.00 x 1021
    29.0 7.24 x 1021
    6.00 x 1021 30.0 7.49 x 1021

    (c)
    (i) Mg + ½ O2 → MgO
    (ii) Minimum volume of air = 23.5 dm3

    (d)
    (i) 3Mg + N2 → Mg3N2

    (iii) MgO: 40.31 x
    24.31
    Mg2N3: 100.95(100–x)
    3(24.31)
    (allow equivalent expressions)
