2. Questions for Short Answers

i. Write down the chemical formula of barium nitride.
The chemical formula of barium nitride is Ba₃N₂.
Explanation: Barium (Ba) is an alkaline earth metal with a +2 oxidation state, and nitride (N) is a nonmetal with a -3 charge. To balance the charges, three barium ions combine with two nitride ions, forming Ba₃N₂.


ii. Find out the molecular formula of a compound whose empirical formula is CH₂O and its molar mass is 180.
Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula (CH₂O).
Molar mass of CH₂O = 12 (C) + 2(1) (H) + 16 (O) = 30 g/mol.

Step 2: Determine the ratio of the molecular formula to the empirical formula.
Ratio=Molar mass of compound / Molar mass of empirical formula=180/30=6.

Step 3: Multiply the empirical formula by the ratio.
Molecular formula = (CH2O)6=C6H12O6 = C₆H₁₂O₆.
The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂O₆ (glucose).


iii. How many molecules are present in 1.5 g H₂O?
Step 1: Calculate the molar mass of water (H₂O).

Step 2: Find the number of moles in 1.5 g of H₂O.
Moles = Mass/Molar mass=1.5/18=0.0833 mol

Step 3: Calculate the number of molecules using Avogadro’s number (6.022×1023 molecules/mol)
Number of molecules = 0.0833×6.022×1023=5.02×1022
Thus, there are approximately 5.02×1022


iv. What is the difference between a mole and Avogadro’s number?

  • Mole: A mole is a unit in chemistry that represents a quantity of substance. One mole of any substance contains the same number of particles (atoms, molecules, or ions) as there are in 12 g of carbon-12.
  • Avogadro’s Number: Avogadro’s number is a constant that defines the number of particles in one mole of a substance. It is equal to 6.022×1023 particles/mol

Difference: The mole is a quantity (like a dozen), while Avogadro’s number provides the specific count of particles in one mole.

3. Constructed Response Questions

i. Different compounds will never have the same molecular formula but can have the same empirical formula. Explain.

  • The empirical formula represents the simplest whole-number ratio of elements in a compound, whereas the molecular formula shows the exact number of atoms of each element in a molecule.
  • Example: Acetic acid (C₂H₄O₂) and glucose (C₆H₁₂O₆) have the same empirical formula (CH₂O), but their molecular formulas are different.
  • Explanation: Compounds with different molecular structures can share the same empirical formula because the molecular formula is a multiple of the empirical formula.

  • It allows chemists to calculate the number of particles in a given mass of substance.
  • It is crucial for determining stoichiometric relationships in chemical reactions, enabling precise calculations for reactants and products.

iv. When 8.657 g of a compound were converted into elements, it gave 5.217 g of carbon, 0.962 g of hydrogen, and 2.478 g of oxygen. Calculate the percentage of each element present in this compound.
