Zinc metal reacts with copper(II) sulfate solution (see right) according to the following equation:


Zn(s) + CuSO4(aq) → ZnSO4(aq) + Cu(s)

 


Determine the maximum mass of copper that can be deposited when 1.20 g of zinc is added to 50.0 cm3 of 2.00 x 10−1 mol dm−3 copper(II) sulfate solution.

A student prepared ethene by dehydrating ethanol.
C2H5OH(l) → C2H4(g) + H2O(l)
She started with 9.36 g of ethanol and made 2.12 g of ethene.
Calculate the percentage yield she obtained for this reaction.

A sample of gas occupies 67.2 cm3 at a temperature of 22.0 oC and a pressure of 9.38 x 104 Pa.
Calculate the volume the gas will occupy if the temperature is increased to 29.0 oC and the pressure increased to 1.06 x 105 Pa.

The molecular formula of a gaseous hydrocarbon can be determined by combusting it completely in excess oxygen and then passing it through potassium hydroxide solution to absorb the carbon dioxide produced.

In an experiment 200 cm3 of a hydrocarbon was reacted with 1500 cm3 of oxygen. After the hydrocarbon had combusted completely 1000 cm3 of gas remained. This volume was reduced to 200 cm3 after the gas had been passed through a solution of potassium hydroxide. (All volumes were measured under the same conditions of temperature and pressure.)

Deduce the molecular formula of the hydrocarbon.
