Below are sample questions representative of the exercises included on this worksheet and related 11.34 Formula Interpretation and Conservation of Atoms skill assessments:

Problem 1Difficulty: Mastery

A student writes 2SO3 and SO6 as if they mean the same thing. Which explanation is correct?

ABoth expressions always represent two sulfur atoms and six oxygen atoms.

BSO6 is the correct way to show two SO3 particles.

C2SO3 changes the sulfur-to-oxygen ratio inside one particle.

D2SO3 means two SO3 particles; SO6 would be one different particle with six O atoms.

Solution & Explanation:A coefficient counts separate particles, while a subscript changes the atom ratio inside one particle. 2SO3 preserves the SO3 formula; SO6 does not.

Problem 2Difficulty: Mastery

For 2H2S + 3O2 -> 2SO2 + 2H2O, which atom inventory is conserved on both sides?

AH = 2, S = 2, O = 3

BH = 4, S = 1, O = 6

CH = 4, S = 2, O = 6

DH = 2, S = 4, O = 6

Solution & Explanation:The reactants contain 4 H atoms, 2 S atoms, and 6 O atoms. The products contain the same counts in 2SO2 and 2H2O.

Problem 3Difficulty: Mastery

Use the conservation model. The left side shows 4 red atoms and 6 blue atoms. Which right-side model violates conservation?

AA model with 4 red atoms and 6 blue atoms

BA model with 4 red atoms and 5 blue atoms

CA model with two R2B3 units

DA model with one R4B6 unit

Solution & Explanation:Conservation requires the same number of each atom type before and after. Losing one blue atom violates conservation.
