sheet.
8. Copper(II) carbonate is broken down by heating to form copper(II) oxide and carbon dioxide gas.
The equation for the reaction is shown.
CuCO3 → CuO + CO2
31.0 g of copper(II) carbonate are heated until all of the contents of the test-tube have turned
from green to black.
The yield of copper(II) oxide formed is 17.5 g.
What is the percentage yield?
9. The equation shows the reaction between magnesium and hydrochloric acid.
[Ar: H, 1; O, 16; Mg, 24; Cl, 35.5]
Mg + HCl → MgCl2 + H2
In this reaction, which mass of magnesium chloride is formed when 8 g of magnesium react
with excess hydrochloric acid?
5. A 26.5 g sample of impure paracetamol contains 24.5g of pure paracetamol. Calculate the %

6. A compound contains 92.3% carbon and 7.7% hydrogen. Calculate its empirical formula.
Ar[c]=12, Ar[H]= 1
7. Calculate the molecular formula of an oxide of phosphorus which has an empirical formula of
P2O5 and a relative molecular mass of 284. Ar[O]= 16, Ar[P] = 31
8. The equation shows the reaction of sulphuric acid with sodium hydroxide.
