Laboratory Experiments: Problem solving skills like those required by most problems in the
Experiment Reports and Study Assignments- N and A will be needed for the exam. However, no
specific calculations from Experiment 1 will be on the exam.
Additional Practice Problems for Exam #1
1. An unknown organic compound is known to contain only the elements carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen.
When 6.60 g of this organic were burned in an excess of oxygen gas, 9.90 g of carbon dioxide and 2.70 g of
water vapor were produced. In a second experiment the molecular weight of this unknown compound was
estimated to be 180 ± 20. What is the molecular formula of this organic compound?

2. 186 g of sodium oxide, a basic anhydride, are to be neutralized in a 2-step method. First, the solid is
added to excess water to produce an aqueous solution of sodium hydroxide. Second, phosphoric acid is
added to the basic solution to completely neutralize the base, leaving an aqueous solution of sodium
phosphate. How many milliliters of 6.00 M phosphoric acid solution would be required to accomplish this
neutralization?

3. 76.8 g of citric acid (MW = 192) are mixed in water with 31.4 g of calcium oxide (MW = 56.1). When
the reaction reaches completion, how many grams of the "reagent in excess" will remain unreacted?
2 H3C6H5O7 + 3 CaO ----> Ca3(C6H5O7)2 + 3 H2O

4. Nutrasweet is the brand name for the sweetener Aspartame. This molecule is the ester of a dipeptide that
contains the amino acids phenylalanine and aspartic acid. If Aspartame is known to be 27.2 % oxygen, by
weight, and it has a molecular weight of 292 g/mole, how many oxygen atoms must be found in each
molecule of Aspartame?

5. Use standard heats of formation, ΔHf°, to calculate the "fuel value" of table sugar, sucrose (C12H22O11).
The standard heat of formation of sucrose is -2221 kJ/mole. (Fuel value is the heat (kJ) produced when one
gram of a fuel is burned.)

6.Nitrogen oxide is known to react with ozone: NO + O3 ----> NO2 + O2. Given the information
below, Calculate ΔH for this ozone destroying reaction.
NO2 ----> NO + O ΔH = +304.1 kJ
2 O ----> O2 ΔH = -495.0 kJ
2 O3 ----> 3 O2 ΔH = -284.6 kJ

7. If a 20 g piece of iron (S.H. = 0.45 J/g °C) is heated to 250°C and then submerged in 100 mL of water at

18°C, what will be the final temperature of this heterogeneous mixture (assuming no heat is lost to the
surroundings and no water is lost by evaporation)?

Answers: 1) C6H8O6 2) 333mL 3) 5.1 g citric acid 4) 5 atoms of O per molecule


5) 16.5 kJ/g 6) –198.9 kJ 7) 23oC
