Answer:

Given: Mass of CO2 = 88g

Gram molecular mass of CO2 = 44g


To calculate the number of molecules, first we apply the formula:





Number of gram molecules = 2


Now, number of molecules = 2 × 6.022 × 1023


= 1.2 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of CO2 is1.2 × 1024


There are three atoms in CO2 (1atom of carbon and two atoms of oxygen)


∴ Total number of atoms = 3 × Number of molecules


= 3 × 1.2 × 1024


= 3.6 × 1024


Thus, total number of atoms of CO2 is3.6 × 1024



Question 16.

Calculate the following.

Volume of 170 g ammonia at STP.

(GMM/GFM: H2O - 18 g, CaCO3 - 100 g, CO2 - 44 g, NH3 - 17 g)


Answer:

Given: Mass of ammonia at STP = 170g

Molecular mass of NH3 = 17g


First, we will calculate the number of moles by applying the formula given:




Number of moles = 10


Thus, number of moles of CaCO3 is 10


Now 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres of volume.


∴ 1 mole of NH3 = 22.4 litre


10 moles of NH3 = 22.4 × 10 = 224 litres


Thus, the volume occupied by 170g of NH3 is 224 litres.



Question 17.

Answer:

Given: Volume of CO2 gas at STP = 112L

Gram molecular mass of CO2 = 44g


First, we will calculate the number of moles so that we can find the mass of CO2 gas


As we know 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres of volume.


∴ 1 mole of NH3 = 22.4 litre


22.4 × Number of moles = 112 litres



Number of moles = 5


Now, we can calculate the mass of CO2 gas by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of CO2 gas = Number of moles × GMM of CO2


Mass of CO2 gas = 5 × 44g


Mass of CO2 gas = 220g


Thus, mass of 112 L CO2 gas at STP is 220g


Now, number of molecules = Number of moles × 6.022 × 1023


= 5 × 6.022 × 1023


= 3.011 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of CO2 is3.011 × 1024

Answer:

i) Calculation of number of molecules in each:

a. Given: Mass of He = 20g


Gram molecular mass of He = 4g


To calculate the number of molecules, first we apply the formula:





Number of gram molecules = 5


Now, number of molecules = 5 × 6.022 × 1023


= 3.011 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of He is3.011 × 1024


b. Given: Volume of NH3 at STP = 44.8L


Gram molecular mass of NH3 = 17g


First we will calculate the number of moles so that we can find the number of molecules.


As we know that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres of volume.


∴ 1 mole of NH3 = 22.4 litre


22.4 × Number of moles = 44.8 litres



Number of moles = 2


Now, number of molecules = No. of moles × 6.022 × 1023


= 2 × 6.022 × 1023


= 1.204 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of NH3 is1.204 × 1024


c. Given: Volume of N2 at STP = 67.2L


Gram molecular mass of N2 = 28g


First we will calculate the number of moles so that we can find the number of molecules.


As we know that 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 litres of volume.


∴ 1 mole of NH3 = 22.4 litre


22.4 × Number of moles = 67.2 litres



Number of moles = 3


Now, number of molecules = No. of moles × 6.022 × 1023


= 3 × 6.022 × 1023


= 1.806 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of N2 is1.806 × 1024


d. 1 mol of H2SO4


Given: Number of moles = 1mol


Number of molecules = No. of moles × 6.022 × 1023


= 1 × 6.022 × 1023


= 6.022 × 1023


Thus, number of molecules of H2SO4 is6.022 × 1023


e. Given: Mass of water = 180g


Gram molecular mass of H2O = 18g


To calculate the number of molecules, first we apply the formula:





Number of gram molecules = 10


Now, number of molecules = 10 × 6.022 × 1023


= 6.022 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of H2O is6.022 × 1024


The arrangement of the samples in increasing order of the number of molecules in each is:

Answer:

Calculation of number of atoms in each:

a. Number of molecules = 3.011 × 1024 (calculated)


In He, there is only one atom


Thus, total number of atoms of He = 1 × Number of molecules


= 3.011 × 1024


b. Number of molecules = 1.204 × 1024 (calculated)


In NH3, there are four atoms


Thus, total number of atoms of NH3 = 4 × Number of molecules


= 4 × 1.204 × 1024


= 4.8 × 1024


c. Number of molecules = 1.806 × 1024 (calculated)


In N2, there are two atoms


Thus, total number of atoms of N2 = 2 × Number of molecules


= 2 × 1.806 × 1024


= 3.6 × 1024


d. Number of molecules = 6.022 × 1023 (calculated)


In H2SO4, there are seven atoms


Thus, total number of atoms of H2SO4 = 7 × No. of molecules


= 7 × 6.022 × 1023


= 4.21 × 1024


e. Number of molecules = 6.022 × 1024 (calculated)


In H2O, there are three atoms


Thus, total number of atoms of H2O = 3 × Number of molecules


= 3 × 6.022 × 1024


= 1.8 × 1025


The arrangement of the samples in increasing order of the number of atoms in each is:


20 g of He < 67.2 L of N2 at STP < 1 mol of H2SO4 < 44.8 L of NH3 at STP < < 180 g of water

What will be the masses of samples b, c and d?


Answer:

Calculation of mass:

For 44.8 L of NH3 at STP (b)


Number of moles = 2 (calculated in part (i)-b)


Now, we can calculate the mass of NH3 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of NH3 = Number of moles × GMM of NH3


Mass of NH3 = 2 × 17g


Mass of NH3 = 34g


Thus, mass of 44.8L of NH3 at STP is 34g


For 67.2 L of N2 at STP (c)


Number of moles = 3 (calculated in part (i)-c)


Now, we can calculate the mass of N2 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of N2 = Number of moles × GMM of N2


Mass of N2 = 3 × 28g


Mass of N2 = 84g


Thus, mass of 67.2 L of N2 at STP is 84g


1 mol of H2SO4


Number of moles = 1


Now, we can calculate the mass of H2SO4 by applying the formula given:



We can write,


Mass of H2SO4 = Number of moles × GMM of H2SO4


Mass of H2SO4 = 1 × 98g


Mass of H2SO4 = 98g


Thus, mass of 1 mol of H2SO4 is 98g



Question 5.

In 90 gram of water

How many molecules are present?


Answer:

Given: Mass of water = 90g

Gram molecular mass of H2O = 18g


To calculate the number of molecules, first we apply the formula:





Number of gram molecules = 5


Now, number of molecules = 5 × 6.022 × 1023


= 3.01 × 1024


Thus, number of molecules of 90 gm of water is3.011 × 1024



Question 6.

In 90 gram of water

What will be the total number of atoms?


Answer:

Number of molecules = 3.011 × 1024 (calculated)

In H2O, there are three atoms


Thus, total number of atoms of H2O = 3 × Number of molecules


= 3 × 3.011 × 1024


= 9.033 × 1024



Question 7.

In 90 gram of water

What will be the total number of electrons in this total number of particles?


Answer:

Number of gram molecules = 5 (calculated in part a)

Now, 1 molecule of water contains:


1 × 8 electron of oxygen


2x1 electron of Hydrogen


Total 10 electrons per molecule.


So total number of electrons = Number of gram molecules × number of electron per molecule


Total number of electrons = 5 × 10


Total number of electrons = 50 moles of electrons


As we know 1 mole = 6.022 × 1023


∴ 50 moles of electrons = 50 × 6.022 × 1023


= 3.01 × 1025 number of electrons


Thus, the total number of electrons = 3.01 × 1025



Question 8.

You are given 100 g of NaOH, 200 mL water, beakers and weighing balance. How will you prepare a 1 molar (1 M) solution of NaOH taking sufficient quantities from these?


Answer:

Preparation of 1M solution of NaOH


As we know that 1 mole of NaOH has 40gm of mass.


Hence, if we want to prepare 1M NaOH solution:


i. First we need to weigh 40gm of NaOH in weighing balance.


ii. Pipette out 1L water from 200mL water and put in a beaker.


iii. Now, dissolve 40gm of NaOH in the beaker.


That’s how 1M solution of NaOH is prepared.



Question 9.

500 mL of a 1M solution of common salt is taken.

How many grams of common salt are dissolved in this?


Answer:

Given: Volume of solution of NaCl (common salt) = 500mL

= 0.5L


Molarity of solution = 1M



We can write,


Number of moles = Molarity × volume in litres


Number of moles = 1M × 0.5L


Number of moles = 0.5


Now, to find the mass in grams, apply the formula given:



Gram molecular mass of NaCl = GMM of Na + GMM of Cl


= 23g + 35.5g


= 58.5g


Therefore,



Mass of NaCl in grams = 0.5 × 58.5g


Mass of NaCl in grams = 29.25g


Thus, 29.25 grams ofcommon salt are dissolved.


Note: If one litre of the solution contains 1mol of solute, it is called 1M (molar) solution.



Question 10.

500 mL of a 1M solution of common salt is taken.

If the solution is diluted with water to a volume of 2 L, what will be the molarity?


Answer:

If the solution is diluted with water to a volume of 2 L, the molarity will be:


As number of moles = 0.5 (calculated in part a)


Volume in litres = 2L (given)




Molarity = 0.25M


Thus, the molarity will be 0.25M
