    Hoe many times are 2 copper atoms haevier than an oxygen atom? [Relative atomic mass: O=16, Cu=64]

    • 4

    • 8

    • 16

    • 64

    Correct Answer
    A. 8
    Explanation
    Copper (Cu) has a relative atomic mass of 64, while oxygen (O) has a relative atomic mass of 16. To find out how many times 2 copper atoms are heavier than an oxygen atom, we can compare their masses. Since the relative atomic mass of copper is 64 and that of oxygen is 16, we can calculate the ratio of their masses. 64 divided by 16 equals 4. This means that one copper atom is 4 times heavier than an oxygen atom. Since we are comparing 2 copper atoms to one oxygen atom, we need to multiply 4 by 2. Therefore, 2 copper atoms are 8 times heavier than one oxygen atom.

    • 356

    Correct Answer
    A. 246
    Explanation
    The relative molecular mass of hydrated magnesium sulphate can be calculated by adding the relative atomic masses of each element present in the compound. The formula of hydrated magnesium sulphate is MgSO4·xH2O, where x represents the number of water molecules attached to each magnesium sulphate molecule. In this case, since the number of water molecules is not given, we can assume it to be 7, which is the most common value. The relative atomic mass of Mg is 24, S is 32, O is 16, and H is 1. Therefore, the relative molecular mass can be calculated as (24 + 32 + (4 × 16) + (7 × (2 × 1))) = 246.

    The electron arrangement of atom U is 2.8.1 and atom V is 2.8.7. What is the molar mass of a compound formed when atom U combines with atom V? [Relative atomic mass: U=23, V=35.5]

    • 152.5 g/mol

    • 94.0 g/mol

    • 81.5 g/mol

    • 58.5 g/mol

    Correct Answer
    A. 58.5 g/mol
    Explanation
    When atom U combines with atom V, they form a compound with the formula UV. The electron arrangement of atom U (2.8.1) suggests that it will lose one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration of 2.8. Similarly, atom V (2.8.7) will gain one electron to achieve a stable electron configuration of 2.8.8. This results in the formation of a compound with a 1:1 ratio of U and V atoms. The molar mass of U is 23 g/mol and the molar mass of V is 35.5 g/mol. Therefore, the molar mass of the compound UV is (23 g/mol + 35.5 g/mol) = 58.5 g/mol.

    • (Mass of one atom of X)/(1/12 mass of one corbon-12 atom)

    • (12 mass of one atom of X)/(Mass of one carbon-12 atom)

    • (Mass of one atom of X)/(12 mass of one carbon-12 atom)

    • (Mass of one mole of atom X)/(1/12 mass of one carbon-12 atom)

    Correct Answer
    A. (Mass of one atom of X)/(1/12 mass of one corbon-12 atom)
    Explanation
    The relative atomic mass of an element X is defined as the mass of one atom of X divided by 1/12th of the mass of one carbon-12 atom. This definition is based on the fact that the mass of one carbon-12 atom is taken as a standard reference point. By comparing the mass of one atom of X to 1/12th of the mass of a carbon-12 atom, we can determine the relative atomic mass of element X.

    • 1 mol of oxygen gas contains No. Avagadro atoms

    • 1 mol of water contains the same number of atoms as in 12g of carbon-12

    • 1 mol of carbon dioxide contains the same number of molecules as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12

    Correct Answer
    A. 1 mol of carbon dioxide contains the same number of molecules as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12
    Explanation
    The given statement is true because one mole of any substance contains Avogadro's number of particles, which is approximately 6.022 x 10^23. In the case of carbon dioxide, one mole contains the same number of molecules as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12. Since carbon dioxide (CO2) consists of one carbon atom and two oxygen atoms, one mole of carbon dioxide will contain Avogadro's number of CO2 molecules, which is the same as the number of atoms in 12 g of carbon-12.

    The chemical formula for pottasium hexacyanoferrate (III) is  . What is its relative formula mass. [ Relative atomic mass : C=12 N=14 K=39 Fe=56 ]

    • 121

    • 199

    • 251

    • 329

    Correct Answer
    A. 329
    Explanation
    The relative formula mass of a compound is calculated by adding up the atomic masses of all the atoms in its chemical formula. In this case, the chemical formula for potassium hexacyanoferrate (III) is K3[Fe(CN)6].

    The atomic masses of the elements in this formula are:
    - Potassium (K): 39
    - Iron (Fe): 56
    - Carbon (C): 12
    - Nitrogen (N): 14

    Since there are three potassium atoms in the formula, the total contribution of potassium to the relative formula mass is 3 * 39 = 117.

    The total contribution of iron is 56, and the total contribution of carbon and nitrogen is 12 + 14 = 26.

    Adding up all these contributions gives us a relative formula mass of 117 + 56 + 26 = 199.

    Therefore, the correct answer is 199, not 329.

    • (Mass of one molecule)/(1/12 mass of one carbon-12 atom)

    • (Mass of an atom)/(1/12 mass of one carbon-12 molecule)

    Correct Answer
    A. (Mass of one molecule)/(1/12 mass of one carbon-12 atom)
    Explanation
    The relative molecular mass is defined as the ratio of the mass of one molecule to 1/12 of the mass of one carbon-12 atom. This definition is based on the concept of comparing the mass of a molecule to a standard reference, which is the carbon-12 atom. The correct answer choice reflects this definition by stating that the relative molecular mass is the mass of one molecule divided by 1/12 of the mass of one carbon-12 atom.
