MCQ 11 Mark
‘X’ and ‘Y' are two elements which form X2Y3 and X3Y4. If 0.2mol of X2Y3 weighs 32g and 0.4mol of X3Y4, weighs 92.8g, the atomic weights of X and Y respectively are:
  • A
    16, 56
  • B
    16, 16
  • C
    56, 16
  • D
    56, 56
Answer
  1. 56, 16

Explanation:

Molecular weight of X2Y3 = 32.0g/0.2mol

X2Y3 = 32.0g/0.2mol = 160g/mol

Molecular weight of X3Y4 = 92.8g/0.4mol

X3Y4 = 92.8g/0.4mol = 232g/mol

Now suppose the atomic weight of X = a and atomic weight of Y = b

Then, 2a + 3b = 160 ......(i)

And, 3a + 4b = 232 ......(ii)

For equ (i)

$\text{A}=\frac{(160-3\text{b})}{2}$

Put value of (i) in (ii)

$3\frac{(160-3\text{b})}{2}+4\text{b}=232$

After solving,

a = 56 and b = 16

Why is atom electrically neutral:
  • A
    It has same number of neutrons & protons
  • B
    It has same number of neutrons & electrons
  • C
    It has same number of protons & electrons
  • D

  • A
    Avogadro
  • B
    Gay Lussac
  • C
    Proust
  • D
    Dalton
Answer
  1. Proust

The concept of atomic mass was proposed by William Prout.

Early atomic mass theory was proposed by the English chemist William Prout in a series of published papers in 1815 and 1816.

Known as Prout's Law, Prout suggested that the known elements had atomic weights that were whole number multiples of the atomic mass of hydrogen.

Which of the following would weigh the highest?
  • A
    0.2 mole of sucrose (C12 H22 O,,)
  • B
    2 moles of CO2
  • C
    2 moles of CaCO3
  • D
    10 moles of H2O
Answer
  1. 2 moles of CaCOwould weigh the highest.

Explanation:

  1. Mass of 1 mole of sucrose (12 × 12) + (1 × 22)+ (16 ×11) = 342g
Mass of 0.2 mole of sucrose = 342 × 0.2 = 68.4g
  1. Mass of 1 mole of CO2 = 12 + (16 × 2) = 44g. Mass of 2 moles of CO2 = 44 × 2 = 88g
  2. Mass of 1 mole of CaCO3 = 40 + 12 + (16 × 3) = 100g
Mass of 2 moles of CaCO3 = 100 × 2 = 200g
  1. Mass of 1 mole of H20 = 2 + 16 = 18g
Mass of 10 moles of H2O = 18 × 10 = 180g
Therefore, mass of 2 moles of CaCO3 is the highest, i.e., 200g.

Which of the following statements is not true about an atom?
  • A
    Atoms are not able to exist independently.
  • B
    Atoms are the basic units from which molecules and ions are formed.
  • C
    Atoms are always neutral in nature.

    Atoms aggregate in large numbers to form the matter that we can see, feel or touch.
Answer
  1. Atoms are not able to exist independently.
  1. Atoms aggregate in large numbers to form the matter that we can see, feel or touch.

Explanation:

The molecules and ions aggregate together in large number to form the matter. We cannot see the individual molecules/ ions with our eyes, only we can see the various substances which are a big collection of molecules/ ions. Atoms of only inert gases can exist independently, i.e. as single atoms. Rest of the statements about an atom are true.

Which of the following statement is wrong:
  • A
    An atom is electrically neutral.
  • B
    The size of a cation is smaller than that of the corresponding atom.
  • C
    The size of an anion is bigger than that of the corresponding atom.
  • D
    An atom and its ion have an unequal number of protons.
Answer
  1. An atom and its ion have an unequal number of protons.

Explanation:

An atom and its ion have an equal number of protons.

Thus, for example, a chlorine atom and chloride ions have an equal number of protons. 

When the chlorine atom is converted into a chloride ion, there is no change in the composition of the nucleus. 

A chlorine atom has one electron less than a chloride ion.

Chlorine atom gains one electron to form chloride ion.

Which of the following is not a postulate of Dalton's atomic theory
  • A
    Different elements have atoms of different masses.
  • B
    Atoms combine in simple whole number ratios to form compounds.
  • C
    Atoms are not created or destroyed in chemical change.
  • D
    Atoms of a single element can have different masses.
Answer

Explanation:

Postulates of Dalton's atomic theory:

All matter consists of indivisible particles called atoms.

Atoms of the same elements are similar in shape and mass but differ from the atoms of other elements.

Atoms cannot be created or destroyed.

Atoms of different elements may combine with each other in fixed, simple, whole-number ratios to form elements and compounds.

The atom is the smallest unit of matter that can take part in a chemical reaction.

'Atoms of a single element can have different masses' is not present in postulates of Dalton's atomic theory.

      18g of O2
    • C
      18g of CO2
    • D
      18g of CH4
    Answer
    1. 18g of CH4

    Explanation:

    1. Number of otoms in 18g of $\text{H}_2\text{O}=\frac{18}{18}\times6.022\times10^{23}\times3$

    $=18.066\times10^{23}=1.8066\times10^{24}$

    1. Number of otoms in 18g of $\text{O}_2=\frac{18}{32}\times6.022\times10^{23}\times2$

    $=3.387\times10^{23}\times2=6.774\times10^{23}$

    1. Number of otoms in 18g of $\text{CO}_2\text{}=\frac{18}{44}\times6.022\times10^{23}\times3=7.390\times10^{23}$

    2. Number of otoms in 18g of $\text{CH}_4\text{}=\frac{18}{16}\times6.022\times10^{23}\times5=3.387\times10^{24}$

    Which of the following contains maximum number of molecules?
    • A
      1g CO2
    • B
      1g N2
    • C
      1g H2
    • D
      1g CH2
    Answer
    1. 1g H2

    Explanation:

    OPtion (C) the correnct answer, i.e 1g H2 contains maximum number of molecules.

    (a) Number of molecules in 4g CO2 = 6.022 × 1023

    (Molar mass of CO2 = 44g)

    $\therefore\ $Number of molecules in 1g CO2 $=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}}{44}=1.37\times10^{22}$

    (b) Number of molecules in 28g N2 = 6.022 × 1023

    (Molar mass of H2 = 28g)

    $\therefore\ $Number of molecules in 1g N$=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}}{28}=2.15\times10^{22}$

    (c) Number of molecules in 2g H2 = 6.022 × 1023

    (Molar mass of H2 = 2g) 

    $\therefore\ $Number of molecules in 1g H$=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}}{2}=3.011 \times10^{22}$

    (d) Number of molecules in 16g CH4 = 6.022 × 1023

    (Molar mass of CH4 = 16g)

    $\therefore\ $Number of molecules in 1g CH4 $=\frac{6.022\times10^{23}}{16}=3.76\times10^{22}$

    Thus, 1g H2 contains the maximum number of molecules.

    Which of the following contains maximum number of molecules?
    • A
      1g CO2
    • B
      1g N2
    • C
      1g H2
    • D
      1g CH4
    Answer
    1. 1g H2

    Explanation:

    Number of molecules $=\frac{\text{mass of substance}}{\text{molar mass}}\times\text{N}_\text{A}$

    For 1g hydrogen $=\frac{1\text{g}}{2\text{g}}\times\text{N}_\text{A}=0.5\text{N}_\text{A}=0.5\times6.022\times10^{23}$

    $=3.011\times10^{23}$

    Molar mass of other molecules are much higher than given mass, so number of molecules in them will be less than that in hydrogen.
