The percentage by mass of calcium in Ca(OCI)2 is [Ca = 40.0; CI = 35.5; O = 16.0]

A.

28.0%

B.

31.6%

C.

43.8%

D.

44.5%

Correct answer is A

Molar mass of Ca(OCl)2 = 40 + (16 + 35.5)x2 = 143

% by mass of calcium in the compound =massofcalcuimmolarmassofcompound x 100%

% calcium = 40143×100

  = 27.98% = 28%

The volume of 0.25 moldm-3 solution of KOH that would yield 6.5g of of solid KOH on evaporation is (K = 39.0; o = 16.0; H = 1.00)

A.

464.30 cm3

B.

625.00 cm3

C.

1000.00 cm3

D.

2153.80 cm3

Correct answer is A

number of moles = molar concentration x volume(dm3)

molar concentration(C) = 0.25mol/dm3, volume = ? and number of mole(n) = massmolarmass6.556 ( where 56g/mol = molar mass of KOH)

6.556 = 0.25 x V 

V = 0.116070.25 = 0.46428dm^3 → 464.3cm^3
