Q61
The density of 'xx' M\mathrm{M} solution ('xx' molar) of NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} is 1.12 g mL11.12 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}, while in molality, the concentration of the solution is 3 m3 \mathrm{~m} ( 3 molal). Then xx is (Given : Molar mass of NaOH\mathrm{NaOH} is 40 g/mol40 \mathrm{~g} / \mathrm{mol})
A 3.8
B 3.0
C 3.5
D 2.8
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

To find the molarity,

xx

, of the

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

solution, we need to relate the given density and molality.

Molarity is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution, while molality is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

We are given the following: Molality (m) =

3 mol/kg3\ \mathrm{mol/kg}

(3 molal) Density of solution (ρ\rho) =

1.12 g/mL1.12\ \mathrm{g/mL}

=

1120 g/L1120\ \mathrm{g/L}

Molar mass of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

(

MNaOHM_\mathrm{NaOH}

) =

40 g/mol40\ \mathrm{g/mol}

First, let's find the number of moles of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

in 1 kg of water, which is the definition of molality. Since the molality is 3 molal, we have:

3 mol3\ \mathrm{mol}

of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

in 1 kg of water (or 1000 g of water).

Now, to find the molarity, we need the volume of the solution in which these moles of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

are dissolved. The mass of 1 L (1000 mL) of solution, given the density, is:

1120 g1120\ \mathrm{g}

The mass of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

in 3 moles is:

3mol×40 g/mol=120 g3 \mathrm{mol} \times 40\ \mathrm{g/mol} = 120\ \mathrm{g}

Thus, the mass of water in this 1 L solution can be found by subtracting the mass of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

from the total mass of the solution:

1120 g120 g=1000 g1120\ \mathrm{g} - 120\ \mathrm{g} = 1000\ \mathrm{g}

So, we have 3 moles of

NaOH\mathrm{NaOH}

in 1 L of solution.

Therefore, the molarity (x) of the solution is directly 3 M (since molarity is moles of solute per liter of solution).

Hence,

x=3x = 3

. Therefore, the correct answer is Option B: 3.0.

Q62
The quantity which changes with temperature is :
A Molality
B Molarity
C Mole fraction
D Mass percentage
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

The quantity that changes with temperature from the given options is Molarity.

Molarity, which is denoted with a capital M, measures the number of moles of solute dissolved in one liter of solution.

It is expressed as:

Molarity(M)=moles of soluteliters of solutionMolarity (M) = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{liters \ of \ solution}

Since the volume of liquids expands or contracts with temperature, the volume of the solution will change as the temperature changes, which in turn will affect the molarity.

For example, if the temperature of a solution increases, its volume may expand.

If the number of moles of solute remains constant, the increased volume will result in a decreased molarity because the solute is now dispersed in a greater volume of solution.

In contrast, other measures of concentration such as: Molality, which is measured as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent (not affected by temperature since it's based on mass, not volume),

Molality(m)=moles of solutekilograms of solventMolality (m) = \frac{moles \ of \ solute}{kilograms \ of \ solvent}

Mole fraction, which is the ratio of the number of moles of one component to the total number of moles of all components in the solution (also not affected by temperature since the ratio of moles doesn't change with temperature),

Mole fraction (X)=moles of componenttotal moles in mixtureMole \ fraction \ (X) = \frac{moles \ of \ component}{total \ moles \ in \ mixture}

and Mass percentage, which is the percentage by mass of a component in a mixture (again, not affected by temperature because it's based on mass),

Mass \ percentage \

(%)

=mass of componenttotal mass of mixture×100%= \frac{mass \ of \ component}{total \ mass \ of \ mixture} \times 100\%

do not change with temperature. Therefore, the correct answer to the question is: Option B : Molarity

Q63
How many moles of magnesium phosphate Mg3(PO4)2 will contain 0.25 mole of oxygen atoms?
A 1.25 ×\times 10-2
B 2.5 ×\times 10-2
C 0.02
D 3.125 ×\times 10-2
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

In one Mg3(PO4)2 molecule no of oxygen atoms = 8 So if there is M mole of Mg3(PO4)2 molecules then no of moles of oxygen atoms is = M ×\times 8 According to question, M ×\times 8 = 0.25 \Rightarrow M = 0.03125 = 3.125 ×\times 10-2

Q64
An organic compound contains C, H and S. The minimum molecular weight of the compound containing 8% sulphur is : (atomic weight of S = 32 amu)
A 200 g mol-1
B 400 g mol-1
C 600 g mol−1
D 300 g mol−1
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

We know that 8% sulphur means 8 g of sulphur present in 100 g of an organic compound. Thus, 32 g of sulphur present in

1008×32g{{100} \over 8} \times 32g

= 400 g of organic compound. Therefore, minimum molecular weight of the compound is 400 g mol-1.

Q68
Two solutions of a substance (non electrolyte) are mixed in the following manner. 480 ml of 1.5 M first solution + 520 ml of 1.2 M second solution. What is the molarity of the final mixture?
A 2.70 M
B 1.344 M
C 1.50 M
D 1.20 M
Correct Answer
Option B
Solution

Short Cut Method : Molarity, Normality, Average Atomic Mass, Average Molar Mass, Average Density, Average Vapour Pressure all of those values will be between the solutions which are going to be mixed.

Here molarity of first solution is 1.2 and molarity of second solution is 1.5.

So the molarity of the mixture will always be more than 1.2 and less than 1.5.

Remember the molarity of mixture can't be either 1.2 or 1.5.

So from the option you an see only 1.344 M can be the right answer.

Normal method : The formula for molarity of mixture of two substance is =

M1V1+M2V2V1+V2{{{M_1}{V_1} + {M_2}{V_2}} \over {{V_1} + {V_2}}}

Here

M1=1.5{M_1} = 1.5

,

V1=480{V_1} = 480

,

M2=1.2{M_2} = 1.2

,

V2=520{V_2} = 520

\therefore Molarity of mixture =

1.5×480+1.2×520480+520{{1.5 \times 480 + 1.2 \times 520} \over {480 + 520}}

=

720+6241000{{720 + 624} \over {1000}}

=

13441000{{1344} \over {1000}}

= 1.344

Q70
A metal chloride contains 55.0%55.0 \% of chlorine by weight . 100 mL100 \mathrm{~mL} vapours of the metal chloride at STP weigh 0.57 g0.57 \mathrm{~g}. The molecular formula of the metal chloride is (Given: Atomic mass of chlorine is 35.5u35.5 \mathrm{u})
A MCl2\mathrm{MCl}_{2}
B MCl4\mathrm{MCl}_{4}
C MCl3\mathrm{MCl}_{3}
D MCl\mathrm{MCl}
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

The weight percent of chlorine in the compound is given as 55.0%.

This implies that the weight percent of the metal is 45.0%.

Now, we need to find the molar mass of the compound.

At STP (standard temperature and pressure), 1 mole of any gas occupies 22.4 L.

We know that 100 mL (or 0.1 L) of the metal chloride vapor weighs 0.57 g.

Therefore, the molar mass of the compound (MClx) is:

MMClx=0.57g0.1L×22.4L/mol=127.68g/molM_{MCl_x} = \frac{0.57 \, \text{g}}{0.1 \, \text{L}} \times 22.4 \, \text{L/mol} = 127.68 \, \text{g/mol}

Given the weight percent of the metal and chlorine, we can find the molar mass of the metal (MM) using the equation:

MM=MMClx×45.055.0=104.04g/molMM = M_{MCl_x} \times \frac{45.0}{55.0} = 104.04 \, \text{g/mol}

Subtracting the atomic mass of chlorine from the molar mass of the metal gives the molar mass of the metal:

MMx35.5=104.04g/molMM - x \cdot 35.5 = 104.04 \, \text{g/mol}

Where 'x' is the number of chlorine atoms in the compound. Solving this equation for 'x' gives:

x=104.04MM35.5x = \frac{104.04 - MM}{35.5}

We find that 'x' is approximately 2.

Therefore, the molecular formula of the compound is MCl2.

So, the correct answer is MCl2.
