B. 6.09 × 1022

C. 6.022 × 1023

D. 6.022 × 1021


Answer:

Molar mass of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) = 342g/mole

Thus,


Number of moles of sucrose = Given mass/ Molar Mass


=


1 mol of sucrose contains = 1× NA sucrose molecules = 11 x NA atoms of oxygen


0.01 mol of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) contains = 0.01 × 11 × NA atoms of oxygen


= 0.11× NA atoms of oxygen


Molar mass of water = 18g/mole


Thus, Number of moles of water =


1 mol of water (H2O) contains = 1×NA water molecules = 1 x NA atoms of oxygen


Total number of oxygen atoms = Number of oxygen atoms from sucrose + Number of oxygen atoms from water


= 0.11 NA + 1.0 NA = 1.11NA


Number of oxygen atoms in solution = 1.11 × Avogadro’s number


= 1.11 × 6.022 ×1023


= 6.68 × 1023

Question 10.

Does the solubility of a substance change with temperature? Explain with the help of an example.


Answer:

Yes, the solubility of a substance increase with an increase in temperature.

For example,


1. Take approximately 50 mL of water in a beaker.


2. Add sugar in the beaker with continuous stirring.


3. When no more sugar can be dissolved, heat the contents of the beaker. The temperature of the solution is brought to 40°C.


4. Start adding sugar again until it doesn’t dissolve in water anymore. The amount of sugar that has been added is calculated and recorded.


5. Steps 3 and 4 are again repeated at 60°C, 80°C, and 100°C and the results are recorded.


The results show that as the temperature of the water increases, the amount of salt dissolving in the solution is also higher.

Question 1.

Verify by calculating that

(a) 5 moles of CO2 and 5 moles of H2O do not have the same mass.

(b) 240 g of calcium and 240 g magnesium elements have a mole ratio of 3:5.


Answer:

(a) Mass of given sample = Number of moles X Molar mass

Thus, the mass of 5 moles of CO2 = 5 × 44 (Molar mass of CO2 = 44g/mole)


= 220g


The mass of 5 moles of H2O = 5 × 18 (Molar mass of H2O = 18g/mole)


= 90g


Therefore, we can say that 5 moles of CO2 and 5 moles of H2O do not have the same mass.


(b) Number of moles of given sample:


Thus, number of moles of 240 g of calcium:


n1 =


n1 = 6


Number of moles of 240 g magnesium:


n2 =


n2 = 10


Therefore, the ratio of number of moles: n1 : n2

(a) CaCO3

(b) MgCl2

(c) H2SO4

(d) C2H5OH

(e) NH3

(f) Ca(OH)2


Answer:

(a) CaCO3

Atomic mass of Ca = 40


Atomic mass of C = 12


Atomic mass of O = 16


Thus, CaCO3 = 40 : 12 : 16 × 3


= 40 : 12 : 48


Ratio by mass = 10 : 3 : 12


(b) MgCl2:


Atomic mass of Mg = 24


Atomic mass of Cl = 35.5


Thus, the ratio by mass = Mg : Cl x 2


= 24 : 35.5 x 2


= 24 : 71


(c) H2SO4:


Atomic mass of H = 1


Atomic mass of S = 32


Atomic mass of O = 16


Thus, the ratio by mass = 2XH : S : 4XO


= 2 : 32 : 64


= 1 : 16 : 32


(d) C2H5OH


The ratio by mass = 2XC : 6XH : O


= 2X12 : 6 : 16


= 24 : 6 : 16


= 12 : 3 : 8


(e) NH3


The ratio by mass = N : 3 × H


14 : 1


(f) Ca(OH)2


The ratio by mass = Ca : 2XO : 2 × H


= 40 : 32 : 2


= 20 : 16 : 1



Question 3.

Calcium chloride when dissolved in water dissociates into its ions according to the following equation.

CaCl(aq) → Ca2+ (aq) + 2Cl (aq)

Calculate the number of ions obtained from CaCl2 when 222 g of it is dissolved in water.


Answer:

Molar mass of CaCl2 = The atomic mass of Ca + 2 × the atomic mass of Cl

= 40 + 35.5 × 2 = 111 g/mol


1 mole of calcium chloride = 111g


Thus, 222g of CaCl2 is equivalent to 2 moles of CaCl2


Since 1 formula unit CaCl2 gives 3 ions (one Ca2+ cation and two Cl- anions),


Therefore, 1 mole of CaCl2 will give 3 moles of ions


2 moles of CaCl2 would give 3 × 2 = 6 moles of ions.


No. of ions = No. of moles of ions × Avogadro number


= 6 × 6.022 ×1023


= 36.132 ×1023


= 3.6132 ×1024 ions



Question 4.

The difference in the mass of 100 moles each of sodium atoms and sodium ions is 5.48002 g. Compute the mass of an electron.

A sodium atom and ion, differ by one electron. Sodium loses one electron to form sodium ion.

for 100 moles, each of sodium atoms and ions there would be a difference of 100 moles of electrons. Thus, the mass of 100 moles of electrons = 5.48002 g


As 1 mole of electron have 6.022 × 1023 electrons


Therefore, mass of 6.022 × 1023electrons =


Mass of one electron = = 9.1 ×10-28 g



Question 5.

The mass of one steel screw is 4.11g. Find the mass of one mole of these steel screws. Compare this value with the mass of the Earth (5.98 × 102 4kg). Which one of the two is heavier and by how many times?


Answer:

Mass of one steel screw = 4.11g

Mass of Earth = 5.98 × 1024kg = 5.98 × 1027kg


We know, 1 mole = 6.022 x 1023


One mole of screws weigh = 4.11 x 6.022 x 1023 = 2.48 ×1024g


Mass of the Earth/ Mass of 1 mole of screws = 5.98 ×1027 kg / 2.48 ×1024 kg = 2.4 x 103


Therefore, we can say that the mass of earth is 2.4×103 times the mass of screws.


The earth is 2400 times heavier than one mole of the screw.

Question 13.

Compute the difference in masses of 103 moles each of magnesium atoms and magnesium ions.

(Mass of an electron = 9.1×10–31 kg)


Answer:

A Mg atom and Mg2+ ion differ by two electrons.

For 103 moles, each of magnesium atoms and ions there would be a difference of 103 x 2 moles of electrons.


Mass of 2 ×103 moles of electrons = 2×103 × 6.023 ×1023 × 9.1 ×10–31 kg


= 2 × 6.022 × 9.1 × 10–5kg = 109.6004 ×10–5 kg


= 1.096 × 10–3kg



Question 14.

Which has more number of atoms?

100g of N2 or 100 g of NH3?


Answer:


The number of atoms =

⇒ N = × N0


The number of molecules in 100g of N2:


Atomic mass of nitrogen (N) = 14


Molar mass of N2 molecules = 14x2 = 28g



Number of atoms in N2 = 1 + 1 = 2


= 2 X = 43.01X 1023


The number of molecules in 100g of NH3:


Molar mass of NH3 molecules = 14+3X1 = 17g



number of atoms in NH3 = 1 + 3 = 4


= 4 X


Therefore, NH3 would have more atoms.



Question 15.

Compute the number of ions present in 5.85 g of sodium chloride.


Answer:

The molar mass of NaCl = The atomic weight of Na + The atomic weight of Cl

Atomic weight; Na = 22.99 g, Cl = 35.45 g


Thus, molar mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mole.


The number of moles =


Each NaCl particle contains one Na+ and one Cl ion = 2 ions


Total moles of ions = 0.1 × 2 = 0.2 moles


Number of ions = total number of moles of ions X Avogadro's number


Therefore,


No. of ions = 0.2 × 6.022 ×1023


= 1.2042 ×1023 ions



Question 16.

∴ 0.0046 mole of gold will contain = 0.0046 × 6.022 ×1023


= 2.77 ×1021 atoms of gold particle



Question 17.

What are ionic and molecular compounds? Give examples.


Answer:

Ionic compounds: Ionic compounds are formed by the transfer of electrons are called as ionic compound. The bond found in these compounds are ionic in nature.

Positively charged ions are known as cations and negatively charged ions are known as anions. Ionic compounds are formed.


For example, sodium chloride (NaCl). Its constituent particles are positively charged sodium ions (Na+) and negatively charged chloride ions (Cl).


Molecular Compounds: They are also known as covalent compounds. Atoms of different elements join together in definite proportions to form molecular compounds. These compounds are formed by sharing of electrons between the two atoms and the elements are held together by covalent bonds.


These, are the pure substances, formed by non-metals. Molecular compounds can exist as either solid, liquid or gaseous state.


Examples: carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, hydrogen chloride, water, methane etc.



Question 18.

Compute the difference in masses of one mole each of aluminium atoms and one mole of its ions. (Mass of an electron is 9.1×10–28 g). Which one is heavier?


Answer:

Mass of 1 mole of aluminium atom = the molar mass of aluminium = 27 g mol–1

A aluminium atom and ion, differ by three electrons. Aluminium loses three electrons to form aluminium ion.


The mass of one electron = 9.1×10–28 g


For one mole of A13+ ion, three moles of electrons are to be lost


Therefore, total number of electrons lost = 3


The mass of three moles of electrons = 3 × (9.1×10–28) × 6.022×1023 g


= 27.3 × 6.022 ×10–5 g


= 164.400 ×10–5 g


= 0.00164 g


Molar mass of Al3+ = molar mass of aluminium – mass of electrons


= 27–0.00164 = 26.9984 g mol–1


Therefore, difference in masses of one mole each of aluminium atoms and one mole of its ions


= 27 – 26.9984 = 0.0016 g

Ratio of number of atoms of gold to silver = Au : Ag


= :


= 108 : 100 × 197


= 108 : 19700


= 1 : 182.41



Question 20.

A sample of ethane (C2H6) gas has the same mass as 1.5 ×1020 molecules of methane (CH4). How many C2H6 molecules does the sample of gas contain?


Answer:

Number of molecules of methane (CH4) = 1.5 ×1020

Mass of 1 mole of CH4 = 16 g


Mass of 1 mole of ethane (C2H6) = 30g


1 mole of substances contains 6.022 X 1023 molecules.


Thus, the mass of 6.022 X 1023 molecules of CH4 = 16 g


Thus, the mass of 1.5 ×1020 molecules of methane = 1.5 ×1020 × 16/ 6.022 X 1023


= 3.98 x 10-3g


Mass of molecules of C2H6 is = Mass of CH4(given)


Mass of 6.022 X 1023 molecules of C2H6 = 30g


Therefore, 3.98 x 10-3g of ethane will contain = 6.022 x 1023 x 3.98 x 10-3 / 30


= 0.8 × 1020 molecules
