Use one to two weeks after the lessons. Keep the notes and the lesson closed.

1. state / explain

Supplement. (a) What volume does one mole of a gas take up at r.t.p.? (b) One mole of hydrogen has a mass of 2 g and one mole of carbon dioxide 44 g. Explain why they take up the same volume at r.t.p.

(a) Volume of one mole

(b) Why the volumes are the same

2. calculate

Supplement. Iron is made from iron(III) oxide: Fe2O3 + 3CO → 2Fe + 3CO2. What mass of iron can 16.0 g of iron(III) oxide give? (Ar: C 12, O 16, Fe 56.) Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Mass of iron: ______________ unit ________

3. explain

Supplement. A pupil adds different masses of magnesium to 12.0 cm³ of 0.500 mol/dm³ hydrochloric acid each time and collects the hydrogen. The table shows the results. Explain (a) why the volume rises at first and (b) why it stops rising at 72 cm³.

Mass of magnesium in gVolume of hydrogen in cm³
0.03030
0.06060
0.09072
0.12072

(a) Why the volume rises

(b) Why it stops at 72 cm³

4. calculate

Supplement. 10.0 g of calcium carbonate is heated: CaCO3 → CaO + CO2. 5.04 g of calcium oxide is collected. (a) What is the theoretical yield of calcium oxide? (b) What is the percentage yield?
