Question 1

Which of the following statements best describes Avogadro’s number?

Accepted Answer

It is the number of particles in 1 mole of a substance, equal to $$6.022 	imes 10$$^{23}$$.

Question 2

Calculate the mass in grams of 0.50 moles of glucose ($$C_6H_{12}O_6$). (Atomic masses: C = 12.0, H = 1.0, O = 16.0)

Accepted Answer

$$C_6H_{12}O_6$ molar mass = (6$$ 	imes 12.0) + (12 	imes 1.0) + (6 	imes 16.0) = 180.0$$ g/mol.
0.50$ mol $$	imes$$ 180.0$ g/mol = 90.0$ g.

Question 6

Which of the following best distinguishes a primary alcohol from a secondary alcohol?

Accepted Answer

A primary alcohol has the $$-OH$$ group attached to a carbon bonded to only one other carbon.

Question 7

Which of the following is a structural isomer of butane ($$C_4H_{10}$$)?

Accepted Answer
