A mole is a measure of amount of matter. It has a numerical value, just like the word dozen =
Chemistry
23
12; a mole = 6.022 x 10 particles, quite a big number (called Avogadro’s number) –here’s
an indication how big:
If the whole population of the Earth (≈ 6.5 billion people) were to eat 100 M&Ms
every second it would take a mere 29 000 years!
Reacting Masses
6. Calculate the mass of H2O required to react completely with 5.0 g of SiCl4:
SiCl4 + 2H2O SiO2 + 4HCl
7. Calculate the mass of phosphorus required to make 200 g of phosphine, PH 3, by the reaction:
P4(s) + 3NaOH(aq) +3H2O(l) 3NaH2PO4(aq) + PH3(g)
9. When copper (II) nitrate is heated, it decomposes according to the following equation:
2Cu(NO3)2(s) 2CuO(s) + 4NO2(g) + O2(g).
When 20.0g of copper (II) nitrate is heated, what mass of copper (II) oxide would be produced? What mass of
NO2 would be produced?
10. A blast furnace can produce about 700 tonnes of iron a day. How much iron (III) oxide will be consumed?
Assuming coke is pure carbon, how much coke would be needed to produce the necessary carbon monoxide?
Fe2O3(s) + 3CO(g) 2Fe(l) + 3CO2(g)
2C(s) + O2(g) 2CO(g)
