Use of amount of substance in relation to masses of pure substances

Question

A. 8.33 mol
B. Wrong amount relationship: confuses HT only with a nearby Unit 4.3 idea
C. Wrong unit check: uses the wrong unit for Using moles to balance equations (HT only)
D. Wrong calculation link: does not support (HT only) Use mole ratios calculated from masses to balance a symbol equation

Answer

The correct option is 8.33 mol. The calculated answer is 8.33 mol.

Explanation

The correct option is 8.33 mol. This uses Moles From Mass because the objective is about (HT only) Use mole ratios calculated from masses to balance a symbol equation. This amount relationship variant asks students to separate HT only from similar Unit 4.3 calculation steps. The reasoning belongs to Using moles to balance equations (HT only) within Use of amount of substance in relation to masses of pure substances, so it should not be confused with nearby quantitative ideas such as mass, moles, concentration, yield, atom economy, or gas volume unless those are named in the objective. Use the focus term HT only to keep the answer aligned with AQA GCSE Chemistry 8462 Unit 4.3. The other options are weaker because they either use the wrong formula, the wrong unit, a vague relationship, or the wrong quantitative context.

Common mistake

Confusing Mass Ratios with Mole Ratios

Students often confuse mass ratios with mole ratios when balancing equations, leading to incorrect calculations.

Always ensure you are using the mole ratios derived from the coefficients of the balanced equation, not the masses of the reactants or products.
