What is the relative formula mass of NaCl? (Na=23, Cl=35.5)
Answer: 58.5
Mr(NaCl) = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5.
Which type of reaction involves a more reactive element displacing a less reactive one from its compound?
Answer: Displacement
In a displacement reaction, a more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its compound, e.g., zinc displacing copper from copper sulfate solution.
What is the name given to a compound that contains only carbon and hydrogen?
Answer: Hydrocarbon
Hydrocarbons are compounds that contain only carbon and hydrogen atoms, e.g., methane (CH₄), ethane (C₂H₆).
In the reactivity series, which metal is most reactive?
Answer: Potassium
Potassium (K) is one of the most reactive metals, placed at the top of the reactivity series, reacting vigorously with water.
What is the term for the splitting of a compound using electricity?
Answer: Electrolysis
Electrolysis is the decomposition of an ionic compound (electrolyte) using electrical energy. 'Electro' means electricity, 'lysis' means splitting.
How many moles are in 44 g of carbon dioxide (CO₂)? (C=12, O=16)
Answer: 1
Mr(CO₂) = 12 + (16×2) = 44. Moles = mass/Mr = 44/44 = 1 mole.
