Contest 4 Round 1A

1. Determine the most ionic compound in the list below:

CaCl2; KCl; MgCl2; AlCl3; CsCl

Ans: CsCl

2. Which of the following compounds will exhibit the most hardness?

MgO; Al2O3; Na2O; CaO; Li2O

Ans: Al2O3

3. Which of the following compounds has the highest covalent character?

LiCl; NaCl; BeCl2; RbCl; MgCl2

Ans: BeCl2

Contest 4 Round 1B
1. 0.25 mol of a hydrocarbon with an empirical formula C3H5 has a mass of 41 g. Determine the
molecular formula of the compound. Take the atomic mass of carbon and hydrogen (g/mol) as
12 and 1.0, respectively.

Ans: C12H20
Molar mass = 41/0.25 = 164 g/mol
n = 164/41 = 4; Hence molecular formular = C12H20

2. An organic compound has the formula CXH8O4. If 0.015 mol of the compound has a mass of
1.98 g, determine the value of X, per formula unit of the molecule. Take the atomic mass of
carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (g/mol) as 12, 16 and 1.0, respectively.

Ans: X = 5 carbon atoms


Molar mass = 1.98/0.015 = 132 g/mol
X = (132-72)/12 = 5

3. Given that one molecule of an organic compound with the empirical formula CH2O has a
mass of 2.0 × 10–22 g, determine the molecular formula of the compound. Take the atomic
mass of carbon, oxygen and hydrogen (g/mol) as 12, 16 and 1.0 respectively and Avogadro’s
number as 6.0 × 1023.

Ans: C4H8O4
Molar mass = 2.0 × 10–22 × 6.0 × 1023 = 120 g/mol
n = 120/30 = 4; Hence molecular formula = C4H8O4
Contest 4 Round 2
1. Given Avogadro’s number as 6.02 × 1023, what is the mass present in 1.51 × 1023 molecules of
benzaldehyde, C7H6O? Take the atomic mass (g/mol) of C, H and O as 12.0, 1.00 and 16.0,
respectively.

Ans: 26.5 g
Molecular mass of benzaldehyde = 106 g
Number of moles = 1.51 × 1023 / 6.02 × 1023 = 0.25 moles
Mass of benzaldehyde = 0.25 × 106 = 26.5

2. Determine the sum of the stoichiometric coefficients of all reactants and products present in a
balanced equation of the reaction: SiO2 + HF → SiF4 + H2O

Ans: 8

SiO2 + 4HF → SiF4 + 2H2O

3. How many sigma and pi bonds each are present in methanal?

Ans: 1 pi bond and 3 sigma bonds

Contest 4 Round 4A

1. Pentanoic acid has a higher boiling point than 3-methylbutanoic acid True

2. Pentanoic acid has a higher boiling point than 1-pentanol True

3. Pentanoic acid has a higher boiling point than 3-methylpentanoic acid False
Contest 4 Round 4B

1. Fluorine 18 and Neon 18 are isotones False

2. Calcium 40 and Sulphur 40 are isobars True

3. Sulphur 36 and chlorine 37 are isotones True

Contest 4 Round 5

1. I am a naturally occurring mineral

2. I am a sulphide mineral

3. I am the main cause of acid mine drainage

4. I have a bright yellow colour

5. I am also referred to as fool’s gold

Ans: Iron Pyrite [FeS2 OR Iron (II) disulfide]
