    TEAM:
    Question 1. Caffeine has been claimed to be a critical substance for getting
    through colleges around the world. Caffeine is found to have a composition
    49.48% C, 5.19% H, 28.85% N and 16.48% O. (30 pts)

    a) What is the empirical formula of caffeine?


    49.48 g
    n ( C )= −1
    =4.120 mol
    12.01 g ∙ molC
    5.19 g
    n ( H )= −1
    =5.15 mol
    1.008 g ∙molH
    28.85 g
    n ( N )= −1
    =2.06 mol
    14.01 g ∙ molN
    16.48 g
    n ( O )= −1
    =1.03 mol
    16.00 g∙ molO

    O : N : H : C = 1.03 : 2.06 : 5.15 : 4.12

    Divide by the smallest number:

    O:N:H:C=1:2:5:4

    C4H5ON2

    b) Using the mass spectrum, the molecule is determined to have a molar


    mass of 194.19 g∙mol-1, what is the molecular formula of caffeine?
    −1 −1 −1
    MC 4
    H5 ON 2 =4 mol C ×12.01 g ∙mol C +5 mol H ×1.008 g ∙ mol H +1 molO × 16.00 g ∙ mol O +2 mol N ×14.01

    194.19/97.1 = 2

    C8H10O2N4

    Question 2. A chemist dissolves 0.033 g of CuSO 4∙5H2O in water and were diluted
    to the mark in 250.0 mL volumetric flask. (30 pts)
    a) What is the molarity of the CuSO4 in the solution?
    −1 −1 −1
    M CuS O ∙ 5 H O=1 mol Cu ×63.55 g ∙ mol Cu +1 mol S × 32.06 g∙ mol S + 9 mol O ×16.00 g ∙ molO +10 mol H ×1
    4 2

    m 0.033 g
    n= = =0.00013216 mol
    M 249.69 g ∙ mo l−1

    n 0.00013216 mol
    Molarity= = =0.0005287 M
    V 0.25 L
    b) 1.00 mL of the resulting solution is rediluted in a second 250.0 mL volumetric flask.
    What is the mass of CuSO4∙5H2O would be needed to directly prepare this sample?
    −7
    n=n ×V =0.0005287 M × 0.001 L=5.2866 ×10 mol
    −7 −1
    m=nM =5.2866 ×10 mol × 249.69 g ∙ mol =0.000132 g

    Question 3. Write a balanced equation for combustion of hexane, C 6H14 to


    CO2 and H2O (20 pts)

    C6H14 + x O2 → y CO2 + z H2O

    As there are 6 carbon in the left side, y is 6

    C6H14 + x O2 → 6 CO2 + z H2O

    As there are 14 hydrogen in the left side, z is 7

    C6H14 + x O2 → 6 CO2 + 7 H2O

    As there are 19 oxygen in the right side, x is 9½

    C6H14 + 9½ O2 → 6 CO2 + 7 H2O

    Balancing out: 2 C6H14 + 19 O2 → 12 CO2 + 14 H2O

    Question 4. Write a balanced equation, complete ionic equation and net ionic
    equation for the MgBr2(aq) + Na3PO4(aq) → Mg3(PO4)2(s) + NaBr(aq) (20 pts)

    Balanced equation:

    3MgBr2(aq) + 2Na3PO4(aq) → Mg3(PO4)2(s) + 6NaBr(aq)

    Complete ionic equation:

    3 Mg2+(aq) + 6Br-(aq) + 6Na+(aq) + 2PO43-(aq) → Mg3(PO4)2(s) + 6Na+(aq) + 6Br-


    (aq)

    Mg2+(aq) + PO43-(aq) → Mg3(PO4)2(s)
