  • C
    There are an infinite number of atoms
  • D
    All of the above
Answer
  1. All of the above

Explanation:

Atoms and void are the bases of Democritus system for explaining the universe: solid indestructible atoms, infinite in number and shape, differing in size, but otherwise lacking in sensible qualities, were originally scattered throughout infinite void.

In general, the atoms were so small as to be invisible.

Atomos means that the atoms are physically indivisible.

The number of Al3+ ions in 0.051g of aluminium oxide are (Atomic mass of Al = 27u, O = 16u).
  • A
    6.022 × 1020
  • B
    3.3 × 1020
  • C
    2.2 × 1020
  • D
    6.022 × 1023
Answer
  1. 6.022 × 1020

Explanation:

Molar mass of Al2O= 2 × 27 + 3 × 16 = 54 + 48 = 102g

102g of Al2Ocontains = 2 × 6.22 × 1023 Al3+ ions

$\therefore$ 0.051g of Al2Ocontains $=\frac{2\times6.022\times10^{23}}{102}\times0.051$

= 6.022 × 1020 Al3+ ions.

The molecular weight of calcium carbonate CaCO3​ is:
  • A
    80
  • B
    90
  • C
    100
  • D
    110
Answer
  1. 100

Molecular weight is the mass of whole molecule.

Steps:- (1) Chemical formula of calcium carbonate ⟶CaCO3​

(2) Mass of Calcium⟶ 40

     Mass of Carbon⟶ 12

     Mass of Oxygen⟶ 16

(3) Multiply mass of each element by number of atoms of that element.

(4) Add all the masses obtained after multiplication.

⟶CaCO3​

= 1 × 40 + 1 × 12 + 3 × 16

= 40 + 12 + 48

= 100.

The mass of single atom of an element X is 2.65 × 10-23g. The atomic mass and name of element is:
  • A
    16u, oxygen.
  • B
    16u, sulphur.
  • C
    32u, oxygen.
  • D
    32u, sulphur.
Answer
  1. 16u, oxygen.

Explanation:

The atomic mass of an element is numerically equal to the mass of 1 mole of its atoms.

1 mole of atoms = 6.022 × 1023 atoms

Now, 1 atom of element X has mass = 2.65 × 10 - 23g

So, 6.022 × 1023 atoms of element X have mass = 2.65 × 1023 × 6.022 × 10

= 15.96 = 16g

Atomic mass of the element X is 16u.

Oxygen is the element with atomic mass 16 and having symbol O.
