NAME :.CLASS :

1. A 2.5 dm3 vessel contains 16.0 g of oxygen at 300 K. 4.0 g of hydrogen is then forced
into the vessel. Calculate the total pressure of the mixture at 300 K, if the volume of the
vessel remains the same. [The gas constant, R = 8.31 J K-1 mol-1]
A 2485 kPa B 2490 kPa C 2493 kPa D 2497 kPa

2. Figure 1 shows a unit cell for a substance containing

a metal, M, and a non-metal, X. Which of the following
is the most likely formula for the substance formed? represent a
A MX metal ion
B MX2
C M8 X represent a
D MX8 Figure 1
non-metal ion
