Consider the reaction represented by the equation. 2NaHCO3(s) \(\rightarrow\) 2Na2CO 3(S) + CO 2(g) + H2O(g) what volume of carbon (IV)oxide at s.t.p is evolved when 0. 5 moles of NaHCO3 is heated? [Molar volume = 22.4 dm3 at s.t. p]

A.

1.12dm3

B.

2.24dm3

C.

5.6dm3

D.

56.0dm3

Correct answer is C

2NaHCO3(s) \(\rightarrow\) 2Na2CO 3(S) + CO 2(g) + H2O(g)

2 moles of 2NaHCO3(s) produces 22.4dm3 of CO2

0.5 moles of 2NaHCO3 will produce \(\frac{0.5 \times 22.4}{2}\)

= \(\frac{11.2}{2}\)

= 5.6 dm3

If 20 cm3 of distilled water is added to 80cm 3 of 0. 50 mol dm-3 hydrochloric acid, the new concentration of the acid will be

A.

0.10mol dm-3

B.

0.20mol dm-3

C.

0.40mol dm-3

D.

2.00mol dm-3

Correct answer is C

\(V_1\) = 80cm3, \(C_1\) = 0.5mol/dm3

\(C_2\) = ? \(V_2) = 20cm3 + 80cm3 = 100cm3

using the dilution formula, \(C_1 V_1 = C_2 V_2\)

0.5 x 80 = \(C_2\) x 100

\(C_2 = \frac{ 40}{100}\) = 0.4mol\(dm^{-3}\)

If 1 mole of sodium contains 6 x 1023 atoms, how many atoms are contained in 0.6 g of sodium? [Na = 23]

A.

1.56 x 1023

B.

1.56 x 1022

C.

3.6 x 1023

D.

3.6 x 1022

Correct answer is B

23g of sodium contain 6 x 1023 atoms :. 0.6g of sodium will contain \(\frac{0.6 x 6 x 1023}{23}/) = 1.56 x 1022
