Solution

(d) \(\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1.7}\)
No. of moles of water present in 180 g = Mass of water / Molar mass of water = 180 g/18 gmol -1 = 10 moles
One mole of water contains = 6.022 × 10 23 water molecules
10 mole of water contains = 6.022 × 10 23 × 10 × 6.022 × 10 24 water molecules

Answer:

(d) \(\frac{6.022 \times 10^{23}}{1.7}\)
No. of moles of water present in 180 g = Mass of water / Molar mass of water = 180 g/18 gmol -1 = 10 moles
One mole of water contains = 6.022 × 10 23 water molecules
10 mole of water contains = 6.022 × 10 23 × 10 × 6.022 × 10 24 water molecules

Solution

(a) NO
7.5 g of gas occupies a volume of 5.6 liters at 273 K and 1 atm pressure Therefore, the mass of gas that occupies a volume of 22.4 liters
= \(\frac{7.5 g}{5.61}\) × 22.41 = 30 g
Molar mass of NO (14 + 16) = 30 g

Answer:

(a) NO
7.5 g of gas occupies a volume of 5.6 liters at 273 K and 1 atm pressure Therefore, the mass of gas that occupies a volume of 22.4 liters
= \(\frac{7.5 g}{5.61}\) × 22.41 = 30 g
Molar mass of NO (14 + 16) = 30 g

Solution

(a) 6.022 × 10 23
No. of electrons present in one ammonia (NH 3 ) molecule (7 + 3) = 10
No. of moles of ammonia = \(\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molar mass }}\)
= \(\frac{1.7 \mathrm{~g}}{17 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\) = 0.1 mol
= 0.1 × 6.022 × 10 23 = 6.022 × 10 22
= No. of electrons present in 0.1 mol of ammonia

Answer:

(a) 6.022 × 10 23
No. of electrons present in one ammonia (NH 3 ) molecule (7 + 3) = 10
No. of moles of ammonia = \(\frac{\text { Mass }}{\text { Molar mass }}\)
= \(\frac{1.7 \mathrm{~g}}{17 \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}}\) = 0.1 mol
= 0.1 × 6.022 × 10 23 = 6.022 × 10 22
= No. of electrons present in 0.1 mol of ammonia

(c) The ratio between the number of molecules in A to number of molecules in B is 2: 1 (d) Number of molecules in B is three times greater than the number of molecules in A.v
Solution

(c) The ratio between the number of molecules in A to number of molecules in B is 2: 1
No. of moles of oxygen = 8 g/32 g = 0.25 moles of oxygen
No. of moles of sulphur dioxide = 8 g/64 g
= 0.125 moles of sulphur dioxide
Ratio between the no. of molecules = 0.25: 0.125 = 2: 1

Answer:

(c) The ratio between the number of molecules in A to number of molecules in B is 2: 1
No. of moles of oxygen = 8 g/32 g = 0.25 moles of oxygen
No. of moles of sulphur dioxide = 8 g/64 g
= 0.125 moles of sulphur dioxide
Ratio between the no. of molecules = 0.25: 0.125 = 2: 1

Q.20What is the mass of precipitate formed when 50 ml of 8.5 % solution of AgNO 3 is mixed with 100 ml of 1.865 % potassium chloride solution?v
  1. (a) 3.59 g
  2. (b) 7 g
  3. (c) 14 g
  4. (d) 28 g
Solution

(a) 3.59 g
AgNO 3 + KCl → KNO 3 + AgCl
50 mL of 8.5 % solution contains 4.25 g of AgNO 3
No. of moles of AgNO 3 present in 50 mL of 8.5 % AgNO 3 solution
= Mass / Molar mass = 4.25 / 170 = 0.025 moles
Similarly, No of moles of KCl present in 100 mL of 1.865 % KCl solution = 1.865 / 74.5 = 0.025 moles
So total amount of AgCl formed is 0.025 moles (based on the stoichiometry)
Amount of AgCl present in 0.025 moles of AgCl
= No. of moles × molar mass = 0.025 × 143.5 = 3.59 g

Answer:

(a) 3.59 g
AgNO 3 + KCl → KNO 3 + AgCl
50 mL of 8.5 % solution contains 4.25 g of AgNO 3
No. of moles of AgNO 3 present in 50 mL of 8.5 % AgNO 3 solution
= Mass / Molar mass = 4.25 / 170 = 0.025 moles
Similarly, No of moles of KCl present in 100 mL of 1.865 % KCl solution = 1.865 / 74.5 = 0.025 moles
So total amount of AgCl formed is 0.025 moles (based on the stoichiometry)
Amount of AgCl present in 0.025 moles of AgCl
= No. of moles × molar mass = 0.025 × 143.5 = 3.59 g

Q.21The mass of a gas that occupies a volume of 612.5 ml at room temperature and pressure (25°C and 1 atm pressure) is 1.1 g. The molar mass of the gas isv
  1. (a) 66.25 g mol -1
  2. (b) 44 g mol -1
  3. (c) 24.5 g mol -1
  4. (d) 662.5 g mol -1
Solution

(b) 44 g mol -1
No. of moles of a gas that occupies a volume of 612.5 mL at room temperature and pressure (25° C and 1 atm pressure)
= 612.5 × 10 -3 L/24.5 L mol -1
= 0.025 moles
We know that,
Molar mass = Mass / no. of moles
= 1.1 g / 0.025 mol
= 44 g mol -1

Answer:

(b) 44 g mol -1
No. of moles of a gas that occupies a volume of 612.5 mL at room temperature and pressure (25° C and 1 atm pressure)
= 612.5 × 10 -3 L/24.5 L mol -1
= 0.025 moles
We know that,
Molar mass = Mass / no. of moles
= 1.1 g / 0.025 mol
= 44 g mol -1

Solution

(c) both (a) and (b)
No. of moles of carbon present in 6 g of C – 12 = Mass/Molar mass
= 6/12 = 0.5 moles
= 0.5 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.
No. of moles in 8 g of methane
= 8/16 = 0.5 moles
= 0.5 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.
No. of moles in 7.5 g of ethane = 7.5 / 16 = 0.25 moles
= 2 × 0.25 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.

Answer:

(c) both (a) and (b)
No. of moles of carbon present in 6 g of C – 12 = Mass/Molar mass
= 6/12 = 0.5 moles
= 0.5 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.
No. of moles in 8 g of methane
= 8/16 = 0.5 moles
= 0.5 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.
No. of moles in 7.5 g of ethane = 7.5 / 16 = 0.25 moles
= 2 × 0.25 × 6.022 × 10 23 carbon atoms.

= \(\frac{24}{28}\) × 100 = 85.71 %
Percentage of carbon in propene (C 3 H 6 ) = \(\frac{24}{28}\) × 100 = 85.71 %

Answer:

(a) Propene
Percentage of carbon in ethylene (C 2 H 4 ) = \(\frac{\text { mass of carbon }}{\times 100 \text { Molar mass }}\)
= \(\frac{24}{28}\) × 100 = 85.71 %
Percentage of carbon in propene (C 3 H 6 ) = \(\frac{24}{28}\) × 100 = 85.71 %

Molecular mass:
* Relative molecular mass is defined as the ratio of the mass of the molecule to the unified atomic mass unit.

* For carbon monoxide (CO) Molecular mass = Atomic mass of carbon + Atomic mass of oxygen 12 + 16 = 28 u.
Molar mass:
* It is defined as the mass of one mole of a substance.
* The molar mass of a compound is equal to the sum of the relative atomic masses of its constituent expressed in g mol- 1.
