Question 7
H

A jeweller makes a ring from pure silver, Ag.

The Avogadro constant is 6.02 × 10²³.

a.

State what is meant by one mole of a substance.

[1]
b.

The silver ring has a mass of 5.40 g.

Relative atomic mass (Ar): Ag = 107.9

Calculate the amount of silver in the ring in moles.

Give your answer to 3 significant figures.

Amount of silver = ...... mol

[2]
c.

Calculate the number of silver atoms in the ring.

Give your answer in standard form to 3 significant figures.

d.

The jeweller cleans the ring with water.

Relative atomic mass (Ar): H = 1.0, O = 16.0

Calculate the mass of one molecule of water, H₂O.

Give your answer in standard form to 3 significant figures.

Mass of one molecule = ...... g

[2]
e.

A student says:

"One mole of hydrogen gas, H₂, contains the same number of atoms as one mole of helium gas, He."

Evaluate the student's statement.
