1.35 understand how to carry out calculations involving gas volumes and the molar volume of gas

By Anonymous -
At standard temperature and pressure, one mole of any gas will occupy 24000 cm3; also known as 24dm3. Calculating molar volume from mass Example: 976 cm 3 of oxygen was found to have a mass of 1.3 g Calculate the molar volume of oxygen, under these conditions. Volume = mass x no. of moles Mass of oxygen, O 2 , = 32.0 g. Volume of 1 g = 976 ÷ 1.3 Hence, 32 g = (976 ÷ 1.3) × 32 = 24024 cm 3 Answer: 24.0 is the volume of 32.0 g of O 2 .

Oxidization  Metals and metal oxides  Example  Magnesium + copper oxide --> magnesium oxide + copper Magnesium has been  oxidized to magnesium oxide   Copper has been reduced to copper Copper oxide is the oxidizing agent - it oxidizes but gets reduced in the process Mg is the reducing agent - it reduces the CuO to Cu but gets oxidized in the process e.g. Ca + ZnO --> CaO + Zn
