What is the molar mass of water?
- A.
18
- B.
18.02
- C.
17.01
- D.
16
Correct Answer
B. 18.02Explanation
The molar mass of water is 18.02. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance, and in the case of water, it is calculated by adding the atomic masses of two hydrogen atoms (1.01 g/mol each) and one oxygen atom (16.00 g/mol). Therefore, the molar mass of water is 2(1.01 g/mol) + 16.00 g/mol = 18.02 g/mol.Rate this question:

What is the value used for Avogadro’s number?
- A.
6.0
- B.
6.02
- C.
6.02 x10^23
- D.
6.02 x 10^32
Correct Answer
C. 6.02 x10^23Explanation
Avogadro's number is a fundamental constant in chemistry and physics that represents the number of atoms, molecules, or particles in one mole of a substance. The value used for Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23, which means that one mole of any substance contains 6.02 x 10^23 atoms or molecules. This value is derived from experimental measurements and is widely accepted in scientific calculations and equations.Rate this question:

Which of the following compounds has a formula with no subscripts?
- A.
Nitrogen dioxide
- B.
Aluminum phosphate
- C.
Sodium hydroxide
- D.
Lithium nitrate
Correct Answer
C. Sodium hydroxideExplanation
Sodium hydroxide has a formula with no subscripts because it consists of only one sodium atom and one hydroxide ion. The sodium atom has a +1 charge, while the hydroxide ion has a -1 charge. To balance the charges, only one of each is needed, resulting in the formula NaOH.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B.Explanation
The empirical formula of the compound can be determined by converting the percentages of nitrogen and oxygen into moles. Assuming a 100g sample, there would be 46.66g of nitrogen and 53.34g of oxygen in the compound. Using the molar masses of nitrogen (14.01 g/mol) and oxygen (16.00 g/mol), we can calculate the moles of each element. The ratio of moles of nitrogen to moles of oxygen is approximately 2:3. Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is N2O3.Rate this question:

The molar mass for copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is
- A.
159.6 g/mol
- B.
149.6 g/mol
- C.
259.6 g/mol
- D.
249.6 g/mol
Correct Answer
D. 249.6 g/molExplanation
The molar mass of copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate can be calculated by adding up the atomic masses of all the elements present in the compound. Copper has an atomic mass of 63.55 g/mol, sulfur has an atomic mass of 32.06 g/mol, oxygen has an atomic mass of 16.00 g/mol, and hydrogen has an atomic mass of 1.01 g/mol. Since there are five water molecules (H2O) in the compound, we need to multiply the atomic mass of water (18.02 g/mol) by 5. Adding up all these atomic masses gives a molar mass of 249.6 g/mol for copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate.Rate this question:

Calculate the number of moles in 8.0 g of sodium hydroxide, NaOH.
- A.
.05
- B.
.10
- C.
.15
- D.
.20
Correct Answer
D. .20Explanation
The correct answer is .20. To calculate the number of moles, we need to use the molar mass of sodium hydroxide. The molar mass of NaOH is 22.99 + 16.00 + 1.01 = 40.00 g/mol. We can use the formula: moles = mass/molar mass. Plugging in the values, we get moles = 8.0 g / 40.00 g/mol = 0.20 mol.Rate this question:

What type of reaction is this?
- A.
Synthesis
- B.
Decomposition
- C.
Single replacement
- D.
Double replacement
Correct Answer
C. Single replacementExplanation
A single replacement reaction, also known as a substitution reaction, occurs when one element replaces another element in a compound. In this type of reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element in a compound, resulting in the formation of a new compound. This can be represented by the general equation A + BC → AC + B, where A is the more reactive element and B is the less reactive element.Rate this question:

What is the percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3?
- A.
48%
- B.
31%
- C.
35%
- D.
100%
Correct Answer
A. 48%Explanation
The percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3 can be calculated by finding the molar mass of oxygen in the compound and dividing it by the molar mass of the entire compound. In Fe2(SO4)3, there are 12 oxygen atoms with a molar mass of 16 g/mol each, giving a total mass of 192 g/mol. The molar mass of the entire compound is 399.88 g/mol. Dividing 192 g/mol by 399.88 g/mol and multiplying by 100 gives a result of approximately 48%. Therefore, the correct answer is 48%.Rate this question:

How many moles are 345 g of Na?
- A.
5.73 mol
- B.
15.0 mol
- C.
7930 mol
- D.
9.03 mol
Correct Answer
B. 15.0 molExplanation
The molar mass of Na (sodium) is 22.99 g/mol. To find the number of moles, we divide the given mass (345 g) by the molar mass of Na. 345 g / 22.99 g/mol = 15.0 mol. Therefore, 345 g of Na is equal to 15.0 moles.Rate this question:

Correct Answer
B. A nail rustingExplanation
A chemical reaction is occurring when a nail rusts. Rusting is a chemical process that involves the reaction of iron with oxygen and water, resulting in the formation of iron oxide. This process is an example of oxidation, where the iron atoms lose electrons and undergo a chemical change. In contrast, salt dissolving in water, ice melting, and a glass window breaking are physical changes rather than chemical reactions.Rate this question:
