Study Notes
Density and Volume Calculations
- Mercury (Hg) has a density of approximately 14 g/mL at 0°C.
- To find the volume of one mole of Hg at this temperature, use the formula:
- Volume = Mass / Density
- The molar mass of mercury is about 200.59 g.
- Calculating with density:
- Volume = 200.59 g / 14 g/mL ≈ 14.34 mL
- The closest answer to the calculated volume is 14 mL, making option D the correct choice.
Mole Calculations in Compounds
- A student compares 1g samples of NaCl, KBr, and KCl.
- Molar masses relevant for calculations:
- NaCl: 58.44 g/mol
- KBr: 119.00 g/mol
- KCl: 74.55 g/mol
- To determine the number of moles, use:
- Moles = Mass / Molar Mass
- Calculating moles for each:
- NaCl: 1 g / 58.44 g/mol ≈ 0.0171 moles
- KBr: 1 g / 119 g/mol ≈ 0.0084 moles
- KCl: 1 g / 74.55 g/mol ≈ 0.0134 moles
- Order of increasing moles: KBr < KCl < NaCl.
