1

What is the empirical formula of CH3CH2CH2O2CH2CH2CH3?

Empirical formula = the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound

2

What kind of reactions is: 2 Ag (s) + H2S (aq) → Ag2S (s) + H2 (g)?

A single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which one element is replaced by another in a compound.

3

Which of the following best describes a chemical reaction?

A chemical reaction involves breaking bonds in reactants and forming new bonds in products, leading to substances with new chemical identities.

4

According to the law of conservation of mass, which of the following statements is true?

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed in a chemical reaction; it remains constant.

5

Balance the following chemical equation: C3H8 + O→ CO2 + H2O What is the coefficient of O2​ after balancing?

The balanced equation is C3H8 + 5 O→ 3 CO2 + 4 H2O, so the coefficient of O2​ is 5.

6

Which of the following is a combination reaction?

A combination reaction involves two or more simple substances combining to form a more complex product, as in the formation of HCl from H2 and Cl2.

7

What is the molecular formula of a compound with an empirical formula of CH2O and a molar mass of 180 g/mol?

The empirical formula mass of CH2O is 30 g/mol. Dividing the molar mass by the empirical formula mass gives 180/30 = 6, so the molecular formula is C6H12O6.

8

Which of the following is a double displacement reaction?

A double displacement reaction involves the exchange of ions between two compounds, resulting in the formation of two new compounds.

9

Which of the following is NOT a type of chemical reaction?

Diffusion is a process of mixing substances due to the random motion of particles and is not a type of chemical reaction.

10

The molecular formula of a compound is C6H12O6​. What is its empirical formula?

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound, which for C6H12O6 is CH2O.
