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. This is because water is composed of two hydrogen atoms, each with a molar mass of 1, and one oxygen atom with a molar mass of 16. Adding these together gives a total molar mass of 18.02.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 that represents the number of atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. The value used for Avogadro's number is 6.02 x 10^23, which means that there are 6.02 x 10^23 atoms or molecules in one mole of a substance. This value is widely used in calculations involving the mole concept and is essential for understanding the relationships between mass, moles, and number of particles in chemistry.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 ion has a charge of +1, and the hydroxide ion has a charge of -1. Therefore, to balance the charges, only one sodium atom is needed.Rate this question:

![Wright Unit 5 Chemistry Test - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
B.Explanation
The empirical formula of the compound can be determined by finding the ratio of the number of atoms of each element present in the compound. In this case, the compound contains 46.66% nitrogen and 53.34% oxygen. To find the ratio, we can assume a 100g sample of the compound. This means there would be 46.66g of nitrogen and 53.34g of oxygen. The molar mass of nitrogen is 14g/mol and the molar mass of oxygen is 16g/mol. Dividing the mass of each element by its molar mass gives us the number of moles. The ratio of moles of nitrogen to oxygen is approximately 3:2. Therefore, the empirical formula of the compound is N3O2.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 for copper(II) sulfate pentahydrate is 249.6 g/mol. This can be determined by adding up the atomic masses of all the elements in the compound. Copper has a molar mass of 63.5 g/mol, sulfur has a molar mass of 32.1 g/mol, oxygen has a molar mass of 16.0 g/mol, and hydrogen has a molar mass of 1.0 g/mol. Since there are five water molecules (with two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom each) in the compound, we need to add the molar mass of water (18.0 g/mol) five times. Adding all these masses together gives a molar mass of 249.6 g/mol.Rate this question:

- D.
![Wright Unit 5 Chemistry Test - Quiz]()
Correct Answer
C.Explanation
The empirical formula gives the simplest whole number ratio of the atoms in a compound. In this case, the empirical formula is not given, so we cannot determine the molecular formula directly. However, since the molar mass is provided, we can calculate the empirical formula mass by summing the atomic masses of the elements in the empirical formula. Then, we can divide the molar mass by the empirical formula mass to find the number of empirical formula units in one molecule. This number will give us the ratio between the empirical formula and the molecular formula.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 in a substance, you need to divide the given mass by the molar mass of the substance. The molar mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOH) is 40 g/mol. Therefore, dividing 8.0 g by 40 g/mol gives us 0.20 moles.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 determined by calculating the molar mass of oxygen in the compound and dividing it by the molar mass of the entire compound. Fe2(SO4)3 has a molar mass of 399.88 g/mol, and the molar mass of oxygen is 16.00 g/mol. The molar mass of oxygen in the compound is 3 * 16.00 g/mol = 48.00 g/mol. Therefore, the percent of oxygen in Fe2(SO4)3 is (48.00 g/mol / 399.88 g/mol) * 100% = 12.00%.Rate this question:
