Question 1
Avogadro's number is significant because it:
A. Represents the number of atoms in 12 grams of carbon-12.
B. Relates the macroscopic world to the atomic/molecular level.
C. Defines the number of electrons in one mole of electrons.
D. Represents the number of molecules in 1 gram of water.
Question 2
Which of the following is the correct unit for molar mass?
A. g/mol
B. mol/g
C. g
D. mol
Question 3
To determine the molar mass of an element using periodic table data, one should:
A. Take the atomic number of the element.
B. Take the number of neutrons in the element.
C. Take the relative atomic mass of the element.
D. Take the number of electrons in the element.
Question 4
If you have 0.5 moles of sodium (Na), how many atoms of sodium do you have?
A. 0.5 x 6.02 x 10^23
B. 0.5 + 6.02 x 10^23
C. 0.5 - 6.02 x 10^23
D. 0.5 / 6.02 x 10^23
Question 5
The mole concept is crucial in stoichiometry because:
A. It allows for the counting of individual atoms and molecules.
B. It defines the mass of one mole of a substance.
C. It provides a bridge between the atomic and macroscopic worlds.
D. It represents the number of electrons in an atom.
