Answer Key

Section A — Multiple Choice Questions
  1. (B) 6.022×10²³ particles
  2. (C) 18 u
  3. (B) 58.5 g
  4. (B) 2
  5. (B) ionic compounds
Section B — Short Answer (2 marks)
  1. Molar mass is the mass of one mole of a substance in grams (numerically equal to its atomic/molecular mass in u). The Avogadro number is the number of particles in one mole, 6.022×10²³.
  2. n = mass ÷ molar mass = 11 ÷ 44 = 0.25 mole.
  3. Molecular mass = 14 + 3(1) = 17 u.
Section C — Short Answer (3 marks)
  1. Moles = 4.4 ÷ 44 = 0.1 mole; molecules = 0.1 × 6.022×10²³ = 6.022×10²².
  2. Moles = 3.011×10²³ ÷ 6.022×10²³ = 0.5 mole; mass = 0.5 × 23 = 11.5 g.
Section D — Long Answer (5 marks)
  1. (a) Moles = 5.85 ÷ 58.5 = 0.1 mole. (b) Formula units = 0.1 × 6.022×10²³ = 6.022×10²². (c) Each NaCl gives one Na⁺ and one Cl⁻ (2 ions), so total ions = 2 × 6.022×10²² = 1.2044×10²³ ions.
