GENERAL CHEMISTRY- ASSIGNMENT #3
Q1. A mixture contains only CuCl2 and FeCl3. A 0.7391 g sample of the mixture is completely dissolved in
10p water and then treated with AgNO3(aq). The following reactions occur.
If it takes 86.91 mL of 0.1463 M AgNO3 solution to precipitate all the chloride as AgCl, then what is the
percentage by mass of copper in the mixture?
5p Q2. The following figure shows the contents and pressures of three vessels of gas that are joined by a
connecting tube. After the valves on the vessels are opened, the final pressure is measured and found to
be 0.675 atm. What is the total volume of the connecting tube? (Assume that the temperature remains
constant.)
Q3. A compound (Ma=224.253 g/mol) found to contain 64.27% carbon and 7.19% hydrogen by mass, the
12p remainder was oxygen. Combustion analysis of a 18.4 g sample of this compound produced CO2(g) and
H2O(g), that were collected in a container at 30oC. The final pressure of the container was measured as
2.50 atm. What is the partial pressure of CO2(g) and H2O(g)?
Q5. Molecular mass of a colorless liquid hydrocarbon is found to be 106 amu and a 0.1888 g the sample
10p of hydrocarbon produces 0.6260 g CO2(g) and 0.1602 g H2O(l) in combustion analysis. Determine the
molecular formula of the compound? The heat of combustion of this hydrocarbon at 298.15 K (determined
in a bomb calorimeter) is -33.41 kJ/g. Determine ΔH (kJ/mol) for the combustion of one mole of the
compound?
Q6. In a Styrofoam cup, a 0.90 g sample of KCl is added to 42.0 g H2O and stirred until KCl completely
8p dissolves. The temperature of the solution drops from 24.8 to 23.3 oC.
(a) Is the process endothermic or exothermic?
(b) What is the heat of solution of KCl expressed in kilojoules per mole of KCl?
(Specific heat of water: 4.18 J/g oC)
8p Q7. During manufacturing of ethyl alcohol (CH3CH2OH), diethyl ether (CH3CH2)2O yields as a by-product.
The complete combustion of a 1.155 g sample of the product of this process yields 2.257 g CO2. What must
be the mass percent of ethyl alcohol and diethyl ether in this sample?
12p Q8. To prepare small quantities of Cl2(g), the reaction below can be used as a laboratory method. If a 54.7
g sample that is 95.5% K Cr O by mass is allowed to react with 115 mL of HCl(aq) with a density of 1.12
2 2 7
g/mL and 36.1% HCl by mass, how many grams of Cl2(g) are produced? (Indicate the limiting and remaining
reagents)
Cr2O72- + H+ + Cl- Cr3+ + H2O + Cl2(g) (not balanced)
Q9. Determine the wavelength of light absorbed in an electron transition from n=2 to n=4 in a hydrogen
6p atom.

6p Q10. The heat of combustion of 2-propanol (C3H8O) at 298.15 K, determined in a bomb calorimeter is 33.41
kJ/g. For the combustion of one mole of 2-propanol, determine ΔH (kJ/mol)?
Q11. A coffee-cup calorimetry contains 100 mL 0.3 M HCl solution at 20.3oC. After adding 1.82 g Zn (s) to
8p this solution, the temperature raised to 30.5 oC. Calculate the ΔHrxn for per mol of Zn? (Csol = 4.18 j/goC
and dsol = 1 g/mL).
Q12. CCl4, an important commercial solvent, is prepared by the reaction of Cl2(g) with a carbon
10p compound. Determine ΔHo for the reaction
CS2(l) + 3Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) + S2Cl2(l)
Use the appropriate data from the following listing.
CS2(l) + 3O2(g) → CO2(g) + 2SO2(g) ΔHo= -1077 kJ
2S(s) + Cl2(g) → S2Cl2(l) ΔHo= -58.2 kJ
C(s) + 2Cl2(g) → CCl4(l) ΔHo= -135.4 kJ
S(s) + O2(g) → SO2(g) ΔHo= -296.8 kJ
SO2(g) + Cl2(g) → SO2Cl2(l) ΔHo= + 97.3 kJ
C(s) + O2(g) → CO2(g) o
ΔH = -393.5 kJ
CCl4(l) + O2(g)→ COCl2(g) + Cl2O(g) ΔHo= -5.2 kJ
