The correct answer and explanation is:

Here are the answers with detailed explanations:

1) Molar Mass of Barium Sulfate, BaSO₄

  • The atomic masses of the elements are:
    • Ba = 137.33 g/mol
    • S = 32.07 g/mol
    • O = 16.00 g/mol (there are 4 oxygen atoms in BaSO₄)
    The molar mass of BaSO₄ is calculated as: Molar Mass of BaSO₄=137.33+32.07+(4×16.00)=137.33+32.07+64.00=233.4 g/mol\text{Molar Mass of BaSO₄} = 137.33 + 32.07 + (4 \times 16.00) = 137.33 + 32.07 + 64.00 = 233.4 \, \text{g/mol} Therefore, the correct answer is a) 233.4 g/mol.

2) Molar Mass of Lead (IV) Oxalate, Pb(C₂O₄)₂

  • The atomic masses of the elements are:
    • Pb = 207.2 g/mol
    • C = 12.01 g/mol (there are 4 carbon atoms in Pb(C₂O₄)₂)
    • O = 16.00 g/mol (there are 8 oxygen atoms in Pb(C₂O₄)₂)
    The molar mass of Pb(C₂O₄)₂ is calculated as: Molar Mass of Pb(C₂O₄)₂=207.2+(4×12.01)+(8×16.00)\text{Molar Mass of Pb(C₂O₄)₂} = 207.2 + (4 \times 12.01) + (8 \times 16.00) =207.2+48.04+128.00=383.24 g/mol= 207.2 + 48.04 + 128.00 = 383.24 \, \text{g/mol} Therefore, the correct answer is d) 383.24 g/mol.

3) Moles of Ethylene Glycol (C₂H₆O₂) in 2500 g

  • The atomic masses of the elements are:
    • C = 12.01 g/mol (there are 2 carbon atoms in C₂H₆O₂)
    • H = 1.008 g/mol (there are 6 hydrogen atoms in C₂H₆O₂)
    • O = 16.00 g/mol (there are 2 oxygen atoms in C₂H₆O₂)
    The molar mass of C₂H₆O₂ is calculated as: Molar Mass of C₂H₆O₂=(2×12.01)+(6×1.008)+(2×16.00)\text{Molar Mass of C₂H₆O₂} = (2 \times 12.01) + (6 \times 1.008) + (2 \times 16.00) =24.02+6.048+32.00=62.068 g/mol= 24.02 + 6.048 + 32.00 = 62.068 \, \text{g/mol} To find the number of moles in 2500 g: Moles=2500 g62.068 g/mol≈40.2 mol\text{Moles} = \frac{2500 \, \text{g}}{62.068 \, \text{g/mol}} \approx 40.2 \, \text{mol} Therefore, the correct answer is c) 40 mol.

4) Moles of Hydrogen Peroxide (H₂O₂) in 5.23 x 10²¹ molecules

  • One mole of any substance contains 6.022×10236.022 \times 10^{23} molecules (Avogadro’s number). To convert molecules to moles: Moles=5.23×10216.022×1023=8.69×10−3 mol\text{Moles} = \frac{5.23 \times 10^{21}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}} = 8.69 \times 10^{-3} \, \text{mol} Therefore, the correct answer is b) 8.69 x 10⁻³ mol.

5) Percent Composition of Ammonium Nitrate, NH₄NO₃

  • The atomic masses of the elements are:
    • N = 14.01 g/mol (there are 2 nitrogen atoms in NH₄NO₃)
    • H = 1.008 g/mol (there are 4 hydrogen atoms in NH₄NO₃)
    • O = 16.00 g/mol (there are 3 oxygen atoms in NH₄NO₃)
    The molar mass of NH₄NO₃ is calculated as: Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃=(2×14.01)+(4×1.008)+(3×16.00)\text{Molar Mass of NH₄NO₃} = (2 \times 14.01) + (4 \times 1.008) + (3 \times 16.00) =28.02+4.032+48.00=80.052 g/mol= 28.02 + 4.032 + 48.00 = 80.052 \, \text{g/mol} The percent composition of each element is:
    • Percent N = 28.0280.052×100≈35.0%\frac{28.02}{80.052} \times 100 \approx 35.0\%
    • Percent H = 4.03280.052×100≈5.0%\frac{4.032}{80.052} \times 100 \approx 5.0\%
    • Percent O = 48.0080.052×100≈60.0%\frac{48.00}{80.052} \times 100 \approx 60.0\%
    Therefore, the correct answer is d) None of the above, since the composition does not match any given choices exactly.
