Question 14 Marks
Read the passage given below and answer the following questions from 1 to 5.
After having some idea about the terms atomsand molecules, it is appropriate here tounderstand what do we mean by atomic andmolecular masses.One atomicmass unit is defined as a mass exactly equal to one-twelfth of the mass of one carbon – 12 atom.Molecular mass is the sum of atomic masses of the elements present in a molecule. It is obtained by multiplying the atomic mass of each element by the number of its atoms and adding them together. Some substances, such as sodium chloride, do not contain discrete molecules as their constituent units. In such compounds, positive (sodium ion) and negative (chloride ion) entities are arranged in a three dimensional structure. The mole, symbol mol, is the SI unit of amount of substance. One mole contains exactly 6.02214076× 1023 elementary entities. This number is the fixed numerical value of the Avogadro constant, NA , when expressed in the unit mol–1 and is called the Avogadro number. The amount of substance, symbol n, of a system is a measure of the number of specified elementary entities. An elementary entity may be an atom, a molecule, an ion, an electron, any other particle or specified group of particles. It may be emphasised that the mole of a substance always contains the same number of entities, no matter what the substance may be. In order to determine this number precisely, the mass of a carbon–12 atom was determined by a mass spectrometer and found to be equal to 1.992648 × 10–23 g. Knowing that one mole of carbon weighs 12 g, the number of atoms in it is equal to:
12 g /mol C-12 .
1.992648 × 1023 g / C- 12 atom. = 6.0221367 × 1023 atoms/mol.
The mass of one mole of a substance in grams is called its molar mass. the molar mass in grams is numerically equal to atomic molecular/formula mass in u.An empirical formula represents the simplestwhole number ratio of various atoms present ina compound, whereas, the molecular formulashows the exact number of different types ofatoms present in a molecule of a compound. If the mass per cent of variouselements present in a compound is known, its empiricalformula can be determined. Molecular formulacan further be obtained if the molar mass isknown.Many a time, reactions are carried out with the Amounts of reactants that are different than The amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one Reactant is in more amount than the amount required by balanced chemical reaction. The reactant which is present in the least amount Many a time, reactions are carried out with the
amounts of reactants that are different than the amounts as required by a balanced chemical reaction. In such situations, one reactant is in more amount than the amount required by balanced chemical reaction. The reactant which is present in the least amount gets consumed after sometime and after that further reaction does not take place whatever be the amount of the other reactant. Hence, the reactant, which gets consumed first, limits the amount of product formed and is, therefore, called the limiting reagent.
