A. Compute and solve the following problems. Show your solution.

1. Freon-12 or dichlorodifluoromethane (CCl2F2) is a colorless gas used as a refrigerant and aerosol


spray propellant. It is banned due to its damaging impact to the ozone layer. A 200 mL can of
aerosol spray was recovered from a lab and it was found out that it contains 0.0614 mol of Freon-
12. Find:
a. molecular weight of Freon-12
b. number of molecules of Freon-12 in the sample
c. number of fluorine atoms in the sample
d. percent composition of carbon in the compound
e. mass of Freon-12 in the can
f. density of Freon-12
2. Silicon dioxide (SiO2) or silica is the major constituent of sand. A handful of sand contains 346.2 g
of silica. Find:
a. molar mass of SiO2
b. moles of silica
c. number of SiO2 molecules in the sample
d. number of silicon atoms in the sample
3. A well-known reagent in analytical chemistry, dimethylglyoxime, has the empirical formula
C2H4NO.
a. Get the percent composition of each element.
b. If its molar mass is 116.1 g/mol, what is the molecular formula of the compound?
4. An unknown compound was found to have a percent composition as follows: 47.0 % potassium,
14.5 % carbon, and 38.5 % oxygen.
a. What is its empirical formula?
b. If the true molar mass of the compound is 166.22 g/mol, what is its molecular formula?
5. Molten iron and carbon monoxide are produced in a blast furnace by the reaction of iron (III)
oxide and coke (pure carbon). The reaction is: Fe2O3 + C ---> Fe + CO
a. Balance the chemical reaction.
b. If 25.0 kilograms of pure Fe2O3 is used, how many kilograms of iron can be produced?
c. If 100.0 kilograms iron is needed to be produced, how many kilograms of Fe2O3 is needed?
d. If 30.0 kg of Fe2O3 reacted with 45.0 kg of coke, how many kilograms of iron is the actual
yield?
6. Acetylene gas, C2H2, undergoes combustion to form carbon dioxide and water when it is used in
the oxyacetylene torch for welding.
a. Write the balance equation of the reaction.
b. How many grams of water can be formed if 113 g of acetylene is burned?
c. How many grams of acetylene react in order to form 1.10 mol of CO2?
d. How many grams of oxygen from air will react to 250.0 g of acetylene?
