240U undergoes alpha decay which results in the
loss of 2 protons and 2 neutrons from the nucleus.
What is the resulting isotope from the alpha decay?
i)90 236 U
ii)90 236 T h
iii)90 238 T h
iv)92 236 U
v) 88 236 Ra Correct Answers 90 236 Th [90
protons- 2 protons= 90 Th
[ 240- 2 protons - 2 neutrons= 236 Th
A 2.00 g sample of FeSO4xH2O is dried in an oven
and the mass of the resulting anhydrous salt is
1.0925 g. What was the value of x in the hydrated
salt? Correct Answers 7
[2.00- 1.0925= 0.9075 g
0.9075 gX 1 mole/ 18.02 g= 0.0504 moles
1.0925X 1 mole/ 151.908 g= 0.00719
0.0504/ 0.00719= 7 moles
A 2.06g sample of AgNO3•xH2O is dissolved in an
aqueous solution of excess NaCl. The resulting
AgCl precipitate is filtered off and is found to have
a mass of 1.32 g. What is the value of x in
AgNO3•xH2O? Correct Answers three
[1.32 g AgClX 1 mol/ 143.3 gX 1 mole AgNO3xH2O/
1 mol AgClX 1 mol AgNO3/ 1 mol AgNO3xH2OX
169.9 g AgNO3/ 1 mol =1.565 g AgNO3
,2.06- 1.565= 0.495 g H2O
mol AgNO3 1.565 g X 1 mol/ 169.9 g= 0.009211
mol H2O = 0.495g x (1 mol / 18.02g) = 0.02747
mole AgNO3 = 0..009211 = 1
mole H2O = 0..009211 = 3
3 moles H2O]
A certain metallic oxide M2O3 is 34.81% oxygen by
mass. What is the identity of the metal "M"?
Correct Answers Sc
[34.81 g O3X 1 mole/ 47.998 g= 0.7252 mol
65.19 g M/ (2X0.7252)= 44.946g]
A flask has a mass of 78.23 g when empty and
593.63 g when filled with water. When the same
flask is filled with concentrated sulfuric acid,
H2SO4, its mass is 1026.57 g. What is the density
of concentrated sulfuric acid? (Assume water has a
density of 1.00 g/cm3 at the temperature of the
measurement.) Correct Answers 1.840 g/cm^3
[593.63 g -78.23 g = 515.4 cm^3 water
1026.57 g - 78.23 g = 948.34 g
948.34 g/ 515.4 cm^3 = 1.840 g/cm^3]
