Chemical Formulas | MCQs

Explanation

The chemical formula of baking soda is NaHCO₃, which stands for sodium bicarbonate.

The chemical name of baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate or sodium bicarbonate (NaHCO3).

Sodium bicarbonate is non flammable

Baking soda is basic in nature.

Explanation

Methane is the simplest of saturated hydrocarbons with a chemical formula CH4.

It consists of four hydrogen atoms and one carbon atom.

It is the simplest alkane.

Explanation

It is an ionic compound with the chemical formula NaCl.

It representing a 1:1 ratio of sodium and chloride ions. 

Table salt is the granulated white salt seen in most saltshakers.

It is typically mined from underground deposits.

It is commonly known as Sodium chloride.

Explanation

• A chemical formula tells us the number of atoms of each element in a compound.
• It contains the symbols of atoms of the elements present in the compound.
• As well as how many there are for each element, in the form of subscripts.

Explanation

The molar mass of sodium chloride (NaCl) is 58.44 g/mol.

To find the mass of 2 moles of NaCl, you can multiply the molar mass by 2: 2 mol × 58.44 g/mol = 116.88 g

Rounded to the nearest gram, this is approximately 117 grams.

Explanation

• The empirical formula of hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) is HO.
• The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms of each element in a compound.
• In this case, the ratio of hydrogen to oxygen is 1:1, which is represented by the formula HO.

Explanation

• A molecular formula is a chemical formula that shows the actual number and type of atoms in a molecule.
• It is a way to represent the composition of a molecule using symbols and numbers.

For example:

• Water: H2O (two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom)

Explanation

The molar mass of H2SO4, also known as sulfuric acid, is 98 grams per mole (g/mol).

Explanation

• The symbolic representation of a molecule of a compound is called a formula.
• It uses symbols and numbers to represent the composition of the molecule.
• For example, the formula for water is H₂O, indicating two hydrogen atoms and one oxygen atom.
