Topic: Reacting masses and volumes
Given: A student heated a known mass of zinc powder in an open crucible until there was no further mass change and recorded the final mass.
Discuss : What would the student be able to derive from this data?
I. Percentage composition of zinc oxide
II. Empirical formula of zinc oxide
III. Molecular formula of zinc oxide
A. I and II only
B. I and III only
C. II and III only
D. I, II and III
▶️Answer/Explanation
Markscheme: A
The student would be able to derive the following information:
I. Percentage composition of zinc oxide – Yes, by comparing the initial and final masses, the student can determine the percentage of zinc in the zinc oxide formed.
II. Empirical formula of zinc oxide – Yes, by determining the moles of zinc and oxygen involved in the reaction, the student can find the empirical formula.
III. Molecular formula of zinc oxide – No, the molecular formula cannot be determined from this experiment alone. To find the molecular formula, additional information about the molar mass of the compound is needed.
Therefore, the correct answer is A. I and II only.

Topic: Gas Laws
Calculate :molar mass of a gas according to the following experimental data?
Ideal gas constant = 8.31 \(JK^{-1} mol^{-1}\)
A. \(\frac{40.0 \times 8.31 \times 290}{98 \times 0.220}\)
B. \(\frac{98 \times 0.220}{40.0 \times 8.31 \times 290}\)
C. \(\frac{40.0 \times 8.31 \times 17}{98 \times 0.220}\)
D. \(\frac{98 \times 220}{40.0 \times 8.31 \times 17}\)
▶️Answer/Explanation
Markscheme: A
To find the molar mass of the gas, you can rearrange the ideal gas law equation \(\mathrm{PV}=\mathrm{nRT}\) to solve for the number of moles (\(\mathrm{n}\)) and then use the formula for molar mass (\(\mathrm{M}\)):
\[\mathrm{Molar\ mass} (\mathrm{M}) = \frac{\text{Mass of gas}}{\text{Number of moles}}\]
First, find the number of moles using the ideal gas law:
\[\mathrm{n} = \frac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{RT}}\]
Now, substitute the given values:
\[\mathrm{n} = \frac{(98 \, \mathrm{kPa}) \times (0.220 \, \mathrm{L})}{(8.31 \, \mathrm{J} \, \mathrm{K}^{-1} \, \mathrm{mol}^{-1}) \times (290 \, \mathrm{K})}\]
Now, substitute the value of \(\mathrm{n}\) into the formula for molar mass:
\[\mathrm{M} = \frac{\text{Mass of gas}}{\text{Number of moles}} = \frac{40.0 \, \mathrm{g}}{\mathrm{n}}\]
so, \[\mathrm{M} =\frac{40.0 \times 8.31 \times 290}{98 \times 0.220}\]

Topic: Electronic Configuration
Discuss:maximum number of electrons in energy level n = 4?
A. 8
B. 18
C. 32
D. 50
▶️Answer/Explanation
Markscheme: C
The maximum number of electrons that can occupy an energy level is given by the formula \(2n^2\), where \(n\) is the principal quantum number (the energy level).
For \(n = 4\):
\[2 \times (4)^2 = 2 \times 16 = 32\]
Therefore, the correct answer is C. 32.
