Question 11
3 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →Calculate the number of moles in 360 cm³ of nitrogen gas at room temperature and pressure. Give your answer to two decimal places. (Molar volume = 24,000 cm³ at rtp)
Question 12
3 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →A student needs to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced when 48,000 cm³ of carbon dioxide is collected at room temperature and pressure. Explain the steps, including the formulae needed, to calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced. (Ar: C = 12, O = 16; molar volume = 24,000 cm³ at rtp)
Question 13

Answer and check →Which calculation gives the number of moles of a gas from its volume at rtp (using cm³)?
- A.moles = volume / 24,000
- B.moles = mass / Mr
- C.moles = volume × 24,000
- D.moles = Mr / mass
Question 15

Answer and see the solution →Calculate the volume, in dm³, of chlorine gas produced at rtp from the complete decomposition of 2.7 g of potassium chlorate, KClO₃. The balanced equation is:
(Ar: K = 39, Cl = 35.5, O = 16; molar volume = 24 dm³)
Question 16
4 marks · Normal
Answer and see the solution →Ammonium nitrate decomposes to form dinitrogen oxide (N2O) and water. The balanced equation is:
A practical uses 8.0 g of ammonium nitrate. (Ar: N = 14, H = 1, O = 16; molar volume at rtp = 24 dm³)
(a)[2 marks]Calculate the number of moles of ammonium nitrate used.
(b)[2 marks]Calculate the volume, in dm³, of dinitrogen oxide (N₂O) formed at rtp.
Question 17
2 marks · Hard
