A Levels Chemistry (9701)•9701/11/M/J/20
Question 13 from 9701/11/M/J/20

Explanation

Molar mass from ammonia volume matches ammonium sulphate Steps:

  • Moles of NH₃ produced = 2.51 dm³ / 24 dm³ mol⁻¹ = 0.1046 mol
  • Assuming 1 mol NH₃ per mol salt, moles of salt = 0.1046 mol
  • Molar mass of salt = 13.6 g / 0.1046 mol ≈ 130 g mol⁻¹
  • Ammonium sulphate (D) has M = 132 g mol⁻¹, closest match Why D is correct:
  • Calculated molar mass (130 g mol⁻¹) aligns with given value for ammonium sulphate (132 g mol⁻¹) per the 1:1 NH₃ assumption Why the others are wrong:
  • A: M = 96 g mol⁻¹ and 2 NH₃ per formula unit yield 6.8 dm³, excess ammonia
  • B: M = 53.5 g mol⁻¹ yields 6.1 dm³, excess ammonia
  • C: M = 80 g mol⁻¹ yields 4.08 dm³, excess ammonia

Final answer: D
