Question 45 Marks
Which has more number of atoms?
100g of N2 or 100g of NH3
Answer
Molar mass of N2 = 2 × 14 = 28g

$\because$ 28g of N2 has number of molecules = 6.022 × 1023

$\therefore$ 100g of N2 has number of molecules $=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}\times100}{28}=2.1\times10^{24}$

Atoms in 100g of N2 = 2.1 × 1024 × 2

= 42 × 1024 atoms

Similarly, molar mass of NH3 = 14 + 3 × 1 = 17g

$\because$ 17g NH3 has number of molecules = 6.022 × 1023

$\therefore$ 100g NH3 has number of molecules $=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}\times100}{17}=3.54\times10^{24}$

Atoms in 100g of NH3 = 3.54 × 1024 × 4 = 1.416 × 1025

Thus, 100g of NH3 has more number of atoms.

Question 55 Marks
Which has more number of atoms, 100grams of sodium or 100grams of iron (given, atomic mass of Na = 23u, Fe = 56u)?
Answer
Atomic mass of Na = 23u (Given)
Then, gram atomic mass of Na = 23g
Now, 23g of Na contains = 6.022 × 1023g number of atoms
Thus, 100g of Na contains = 6.022 × 1023 / 23×100 number of atoms
= 2.6182 × 1024 number of atoms
Again, atomic mass of Fe = 56u (Given)
Then, gram atomic mass of Fe = 56g
Now, 56g of Fe contains = 6.022 × 1023g number of atoms
Thus, 100g of Fe contains = 6.022 × 1023 / 56 × 100 number of atoms
= 1.0753 × 1024 number of atoms
Therefore, 100grams of sodium contain more number of atoms than 100grams of iron.

Question 65 Marks
Which has more atoms, 50g of aluminium or 50g of iron? Illustrate your answer with the help of calculations.
(Atomic masses: Al = 27u; Fe = 56u)
Answer
1 mole of aluminium weighing 27g has = 6.022 × 1023 atoms of Al
So, 1g of Al has = 0.22 × 1023 atoms of Al
Hence, 50g of Al will have = 50 × 0.22 × 1023 atoms of Al
= 11 × 1023 atoms of Al
1 mole of iron weighing 56g has = 6.022 × 1023 atoms of Fe
So, 1g of Fe has = 0.10 × 1023 atoms of Fe
Hence, 50g of Fe will have = 50 × 0.10 × 1023 atoms of Fe = 5 × 1023 atoms of Fe
Thus, 50g of Al has more no. of atoms as compared to 50g of Fe.

Question 75 Marks
Which contains more molecules, 10g of sulphur dioxide (SO2) or 10g of oxygen (O2)?
(Atomic masses: S = 32u; O = 16u)
Answer
Given,
Mass of sulphur dioxide = 10g
Molar mass of sulphur dioxide = (1 × 32) + (2 × 16) = 64g
We know that 64g of sulphur dioxide contain 6.022 × 1023 molecules.
Number of molecules in 64g sulphur dioxide = 6.022 × 1023
Number of molecules in 10g sulphur dioxide $= \frac{10\ \times\ 6.022\ \times\ 10^{23}}{64}$
Hence, the number of molecules in 10g sulphur dioxide is 9.4× 1022
Given,
Mass of oxygen = 10g
Molar mass of oxygen molecule = (2 × 16) = 32g
Number of molecules in 32g oxygen = 6.022 × 1023
Number of molecules in 10g oxygen $= \frac{10\ \times\ 6.022\ \times\ 10^{23}}{32}$
Hence, the number of molecules in 10g oxygen is 18.8 × 1022
It is clear that the number of atoms in 10g oxygen is greater than that in 10g sulphur dioxide.

Question 85 Marks
What weight of oxygen gas will contain the same number of molecules as 56g of nitrogen gas?
(O = 16u; N = 14u)
Answer
Mass of nitrogen gas = 56g
We know that equal moles of all substances contain equal number of molecules. (1 mole of all substances contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules).
The first step will be to convert 56g nitrogen gas into moles.
1 mole nitrogen gas N= 28g
28g nitrogen = 1 mole
56g nitrogen = 2 moles
Since, equal moles of all substances contain equal number of molecules, 2 moles of nitrogen will have the same number of molecules as 2 moles of oxygen.
The next step will be to find the mass of 2 moles of oxygen in grams.
1 mole of oxygen = 32g
2 moles of oxygen = 32 × 2 = 64g
Hence, 64g oxygen will contain the same number of molecules as 56g nitrogen gas.

Question 95 Marks
What mass of nitrogen N2, will contain the same number of molecules as 1.8g of water, H2O?
(Atomic masses: N = 14u; H = 1u; O = 16u)
Answer
Mass of water = 1.8g
We know that equal moles of all substance contain equal number of molecules (1 mole of all substances contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules).
The first step will be to convert 1.8g water into moles.
1 mole of water = (2 × 1) + (1 × 16) = 18g
18g water = 1 mole
1.8g water = 0.1 moles
Since, equal moles of all substances contain equal number of molecules, 0.1 moles of water will have the same number of molecules as present in 0.1 moles of nitrogen.
The next step will be to find the mass of 0.1 moles of nitrogen in grams.
1 mole of nitrogen = 28g
0.1 moles of nitrogen = 28 × 0.1 = 2.8g
Hence, 2.8g nitrogen will contain the same number of molecules as present in 1.8g water.

Question 105 Marks
What are ionic and molecular compounds? Give examples.
Answer
Atoms of different elements join together in definite proportions to form molecules of compounds. Compounds can be either ionic compounds or molecular compounds.
Ionic compounds are those compounds that contain charged species of metals and nonmetals.
The charged species are known as ions.
An ion is a charged particle and can be negatively or positively charged.
A negatively charged ion is called an anion and the positively charged ion is called cation.
Ionic compounds are formed when ionic bonds are formed between different elements through transfer of electrons.
Examples of ionic compounds - sodium chloride, calcium oxide.
Molecular compounds or covalent compounds are those compounds in which the elements share electrons via covalent bonds.
Examples - water, ammonia, carbon dioxide.

Answer
Given,
Mass of one molecule of a substance = 4.65 × 10-23
We know that the mass of a molecule of a substance is equal to the mass of 1 mole of that
substance. 1 mole of a substance consists of 6.022 × 1023 molecules; therefore, the mass of a molecule of a substance is equal to the mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules.
Therefore, to calculate the molecular mass of the substance, we need to calculate the mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of that substance.
Mass of 1 molecule of the substance = 4.65 × 10-23
Mass of 6.022 × 1023 molecules of the substance = 6.022 × 1023 × 4.65 × 10-23 = 28g

Question 155 Marks
State the two important laws of chemical combination. How Dalton’s atomic theory explains the two Laws?
Answer
John Dalton based his theory on two laws. They are explained below:
Law of Conservation of Mass: According to the law of conservation of mass, the matter is neither created nor destroyed. This means, in a chemical reaction, amount of elements remains same in starting when only reactants there and at the completion of the reaction when product formed. We always use the “Law of conservation of mass” when we balance chemical equations.
Law of Constant Composition: According to the law of constant composition, a pure compound will always have the same proportion of the same elements. For example, table salt with the molecular formula of NaCl holds the same proportions of the elements Na (sodium) and Cl (chlorine). This composition doesn’t depend on where the salt came from and how much salt one should have.

Question 165 Marks
State the law of constant proportions. Give one example to illustrate this law.
Answer
Law of constant proportion given by PROUST states that "A chemical compound always consists of the same elements combined together in the same proportion by mass."
For example: If we decompose 100 gms of pure water by passing electricity through it, then 11gms of hydrogen and 89gms of oxygen are obtained. Now, if we repeat this experiment by taking pure water from different sources (like river, sea, well, etc.), the same masses of hydrogen and oxygen elements are obtained in each case. They are always combined together in the same constant proportion of 11 : 89 or 1 : 8 by mass. And this is the law of constant proportions.

Question 175 Marks
State the law of conservation of mass. Give one example to illustrate this law.
Answer
Law of conservation of mass by LAVOISIER states that: "Mass can neither be created nor be destroyed in a chemical reaction". So, in a chemical reaction, the total mass of reactants must be equal to the total mass of products.
For example: When calcium carbonate is heated, a chemical reaction takes place to form calcium oxide and calcium carbonate. If 100gms of calcium carbonate is decomposed completely, then 56gms of calcium oxide and 44gms of carbon dioxide are formed.
In the above example: The total mass of products = 56gms (CaO) + 44gms (CO2) = 100gms.
As total mass of products is equal to the total mass of reactant so, the law of conservation of mass is satisfied.

Question 185 Marks
Raunak took 5 moles of carbon atoms in a container and Krish also took 5 moles of sodium atoms in another container of same weight.
  1. Whose container is heavier?
  2. Whose container has more number of atoms?
Answer
  1. 1 mole = molar mass of a substance.

$\therefore$ 1 mole of carbon atoms weigh = 12g

$\therefore$ 5 moles of carbon atoms will weigh = 12 × 5 = 60g

Hence, Raunak’s container has weigh = 60g In the same way,

$\therefore$ 1 mole of sodium atoms weigh = 23g

$\therefore$ 5 moles of sodium atoms will weigh = 23 × 5 = 115g

Hence, Krish’s container has weigh = 115g

Thus, Krish’s container is heavier than Raunak’s container.

As, 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023 atoms

  1. Here, both containers have 5 moles of each carbon and sodium, therefore,both containers have equal number of atoms, e., 5 × 6.022 × 1023 atoms, or 3.011 × 1024 atoms in each.

Question 225 Marks
In a reaction, 5.3g of sodium carbonate reacted with 6g of acetic acid. The products were 2.2g of carbon dioxide, 0.9g water and 8.2g of sodium Q acetate. Show that these observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass. sodium carbonate + acetic acid → sodium acetate + carbon dioxide + water.
Answer

In the given reaction, sodium carbonate reacts with ethanoic acid to produce sodium ethanoate, carbon dioxide, and water.

Sodium+EthanoicSodium+Carbon+Water
carbonate acid ethanoate dioxide  

Mass of sodium carbonate = 5.3g (Given)

Mass of ethanoic acid = 6g (Given)

Mass of sodium ethanoate = 8.2g (Given)

Mass of carbon dioxide = 2.2g (Given)

Mass of water = 0.9g (Given)

Now, total mass before the reaction = (5.3 + 6)g

= 11.3g

And, total mass after the reaction = (8.2 + 2.2 + 0.9)g

= 11.3g

∴Total mass before the reaction = Total mass after the reaction

Hence, the given observations are in agreement with the law of conservation of mass.

Question 235 Marks
In an experiment, 4.90g of copper oxide was obtained form 3.92g of copper. In another experiment, 4.55g of copper oxide gave, on reduction, 3.64g of copper. Show with the help of calculations that these figures verify the law of constant proportions.
Answer
Rection 1:

$\ \ 2\text{Cu} \ \ \ \ \ \ +\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}_2\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\ \ \ \ 2\text{CuO}\\ ^{(3.92\text{gm})} \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{(4.90-3.92\ =\ 0.98\text{gm})}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{(4.90\text{gm})}$

$\frac{3.92}{3.92}=1,\ \frac{0.98}{3.92}=0.25,\ \frac{4.90}{3.92}=1.25$

So, 1 equivalent of Cu reacts with 0.25 equivalent of O2 to from 1.25 equivalent of copper oxide.

Reaction 2:

$2\text{CuO}\ \ \xrightarrow{\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ }\ \ \ \ 2\text{Cu}\ \ \ +\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \text{O}_2\\ ^{(4.55\text{gm})}\ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ \ ^{(3.64\text{gm})}\ \ \ \ \ \ ^{(4.55-3.64\ =\ 0.91\text{gm})}$

$\frac{4.55}{3.64}=1.25,\ \frac{3.64}{3.64}=1,\ \frac{0.91}{3.64}=0.25$

Here again, one can see that 1.25 equivalent of CuO decomposed to form 1 equivalent of Cu and 0.25 equivalent of oxygen.

Hence, law of constant proportion is verified.

Question 245 Marks
If one gram of sulphur contains x atoms, calculate the number of atoms in one gram of oxygen element.
(Atomic masses: S = 32u; O = 16u)
Answer
Given,
1g sulphur contains x atoms
We know that equal moles of all substances contain equal number of molecules (1 mole of all substances contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules).
Therefore, the ratio of molecules in sulphur and oxygen will be the same as their ratio of moles.
Therefore, 1g of $\text{S} = \frac{1}{32}$ moles of S Now, $\frac{1}{32}$ moles of S contain x molecules (given). Since equal number of molecules are present in equal moles of all substances, $\frac{1}{32}$ moles of oxygen will also contain x number of molecules.
Number of moles in 1g of oxygen:
1 mole of O = 16g
16g O = 1 mole of O
Therefore, 1g $\text{O}_2=\frac{1}{16}$ moles of O2
We have already stated that $\frac{1}{32}$ moles of oxygen contain x molecules; therefore,
$\frac{1}{16}$ mole of oxygen will contain $=\frac{\text{x}\ \times\ 32}{16} = 2 \text{x molecules}$
Hence, 1 gram oxygen consists of 2x the number of sulphur molecules.

Question 255 Marks
If 1 gram of sulphur dioxide contains x molecules, how many molecules will be present in 1 gram of oxygen?
(S = 32u; O = 16u)
Answer
Given,

Mass of sulphur dioxide = 1g

We know that equal moles of all substances contain equal number of molecules. (1 mole of all substances contains 6.022 × 1023 molecules).

Therefore, the ratio of molecules in sulphur dioxide and oxygen will be same as the ratio of their moles.

Number of moles in 1g of sulphur dioxide:

1 mole of SO2 = (1 × 32) + (2 × 16) = 64g

64g of SO2 = 1 mole of SO2

Therefore, 1g of $\text{SO}_2 = \frac{1}{64}$ moles of SO2

Now, $\frac{1}{64}$ moles of SO2 contain x molecules (given). Since equal number of molecules are present in equal moles of all substances, $\frac{1}{64}$ moles of oxygen will also contain x number of molecules.

Number of moles in 1g of oxygen:

1 mole of O2 = 2 × 16 = 32g

32g of O2 = 1 mole of O2

Therefore, 1g of $\text{O}_2 = \frac{1}{32}$ moles of O2

We have already stated that $\frac{1}{64}$ moles of oxygen contain x molecules. Therefore,

$\frac{1}{32}$ mole of oxygen will contain $=\frac{\text{x}\ \times\ 64}{32}=2\text{x}$

Hence, 1gm of oxygen consists of 2x number of molecules.

Question 265 Marks
How many grams of magnesium will have the same number of atoms as 6 grams of carbon?
(Mg = 24u; C = 12u)
Answer
Mass of carbon = 6g
We know that equal moles of all substances contain equal number of atoms (1 mole of all substances contains 6.022 × 1023 atoms).
The first step will be to convert 6g carbon into moles.
1 mole of carbon = 12g
12g carbon = 1 mole
Therefore, 6g carbon = 0.5 moles
Since, equal moles of all substances contain equal number of atoms, 0.5 moles of carbon will have the same number of atoms as present in 0.5 moles of magnesium.
The next step will be to find out the mass of 0.5 moles of magnesium in grams.
1 mole of magnesium = 24g
0.5 moles of magnesium = 24 × 0.5 = 12g
Hence, 12g magnesium will contain the same number of atoms as present in 6g carbon.

Question 315 Marks
Compute the difference in masses of 103 moles each of magnesium atoms and magnesium ions. (Mass of an electron =9.1 × 10-31kg)
Answer
103 moles of Mg atoms = 103 × 6.022 × 1023

= 6.022 × 1026Mg atoms

103 moles of Mg2+ ions = 103 × 6.022 × 1023

= 6.022 × 1026Mg2+ ions

One Mg2+ ion is formed from one Mg atom by loss of 2 electrons,

As Mg → Mg2+ + 2e- i.e.

$\therefore$ Difference in the mass of 6.022 × 1026Mg atom and Mg2+ ions

= mass of 2 × 6.022 × 1026 electrons

= 2 × 6.022 × 1026 × 9.1 × 10-31kg.

(as mass of an electron = 9.1 × 10-31kg)

= 109.6004 × 10-5kg = 1.096 × 10-3kg = 1.096g

Question 325 Marks
Calculate the number of aluminium ions present in 0.051g of aluminium oxide.
(Hint: The mass of an ion is the same as that of an atom of the same element. Atomic mass of Al = 27u)
Answer

1 mole of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = 2 × 27 + 3 × 16

= 102g

$\text{i.e.},102\text{g} \ \text{of} \ \text{AI}_2\text{O}_3=6.022\times10^{23} \ \text{molecules} \ \text{of} \ \text{AI}_2\text{O}_3$

$\text{Then}, \ 0.051\text{g} \ \text{of} \ \text{AI}_2\text{O}_3 \ \text{contains}=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}}{102}\times0.051 \ \text{molecules}$

$=3.011\times10^{20} \ \text{molecules} \ \text{of} \ \text{AI}_2\text{O}_3$

The number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in one molecule of aluminium oxide is 2.

Therefore, the number of aluminium ions (Al3+) present in 3.011 × 1020 molecules

(0.051 g ) of aluminium oxide (Al2O3) = 2 × 3.011 × 1020

= 6.022 × 1020.
