Multiple Choice
by burning 11,2 gram iron we can get 14,4 g iron(II) oxide.
Find how much oxygen is required for the reaction. The mass of iron
and oxygen together should be equal to the mass of iron oxide after
reaction
1.6 g
3.2 g
25.6 g

Multiple Choice
The conservation of mass rule can be applied to other reactions also.
By keeping this in mind, solve the question below.
We can get table salt by combining sodium and chlorine. Find the mass of
chlorine gas used if the mass of sodium used is 4,6 gram and the mass
of salt produced is 11,7 gram. Here the mass of sodium and chlorine is
equal to the mass of the table salt at the end.
3.55 g
16.3 g
7.1 g
5.6 g

Multiple Choice
Sometimes the total mass of the substance on the dish seems to get
less. Actually, some mass is released as a gas. Please solve the
example below by considering it.
Calcium carbonate can produce calcium oxide and carbon dioxide.
Initial mass of calcium carbonate is 10 gram and the mass of the
calcium oxide is 5,6 gram. Find the mass of carbon dioxide released
into the atmosphere.
4.4 g
3.2 g
15.6 g
56 g

Open Ended
A pupil heated 1.24g of copper carbonate strongly.
The chemical reaction, which took place, is represented by the equation:
CuCO3 (s) ==> CuO(s) + CO2(g)
After the solid, which remained, had cooled, he weighed it. He found that its
mass was 0.80g
Why did the pupil find a decrease in mass in this experiment?
14
Multiple Choice
Write a word equation for the reaction, which takes place when
the magnesium burns in oxygen.
magnesium+magnesium oxide==> magnesium+oxygen
magnesium oxide + oxygen==>magnesium
magnesium +magnesium oxide==> oxygen
magnesium + oxygen==> magnesium oxide
15
Multiple Choice
when carbon and oxygen reacts, two oxygen atom combine with 1 carbon atom. if there are 4 carbon and 8 oxygen atoms at the beginning of the reaction, how many carbon dioxide molecules will be formed at the end.

Multiple Choice
the reaction between carbon and oxygen is as follows:
carbon+ oxygen==> carbon dioxide
write which one is the product here
carbon
oxygen
carbon dioxide
none of the above

Multiple Choice
In an experiment, a student burnt magnesium ribbon in air. He
found that the mass of the powder formed was greater than the
original mass of the ribbon.
there is a magnesium added during the reaction
the oxygen in the air combined with magnesium
the scale is not correctly measuring
the mass of the magnesium can change from time to time.

Multiple Choice
This diagram below shows the reaction between marble chips and acid
This is the word equation for the reaction:
hydrochloric acid+ calcium carbonate —> calcium chloride+ carbon dioxide +water
the initial mass of the reactants measured as 180 gram. what woud you expect the total mass of the calcium chloride and water.
more than 180 gram
less than 180 gram
180 gram

Multiple Choice
If you heat a piece of copper, it combines with oxygen from the air to form a black layer of copper oxide. Write a word equation for this reaction.
copper + copper oxide==> oxygen
copper oxide+ oxygen==> copper
copper + oxygen ==> copper oxide
21
Multiple Choice
how will the mass of the copper will change when it combines with oxygen and forms copper oxide
increase
decrease
doesnt change

Multiple Choice
5 grams of iron combines with 3 grams of sulfur and forms iron sulfide. calculate the mass of the iron sulfide that is formed.
0.4 gram
2 grams
8 grams
2.5 grams

is burnt in oxygen
A piece of ice is left to
melt in a beaker
Sugar is stirred into a
beaker of water
Marble chips are placed into
hydrochloric acid and a gas escapes
