A (B), (C) and (D) Only
B (A), (B) and (C) Only
C (C), (D) and (E) Only
D (A), (D) and (E) Only
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

A) Weight of a substance is the amount of matter present in it.

Not correct.

The amount of matter present in a substance is called its mass, not its weight.

Mass of a substance is the amount of matter present in it.

B) Mass is the force exerted by gravity on an object.

Not correct.

Mass is not the force exerted on an object by gravity.

Mass is the amount of matter in an object, while weight is the force of gravity on that object.

C) Volume is the amount of space occupied by a substance.

Correct.

The amount of space occupied by a substance is its volume, which is simply the equivalent three dimensional measurements of spatial geometry (height, width; and (length).

Standard units of volume are cubic centimeters for solids, milliliters or liters for liquids, and liters pr gases.

D) Temperatures below 0C0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} are possible in Celsius scale, but in Kelvin scale negative temperature is not possible.

Correct.

Celsius temp is possible below 0C0^{\circ} \mathrm{C} (negative temp).

But, it is not possible in the Kelvin Scale 273 K273 \mathrm{~K} \rightarrow Absolute temperature Kelvin temp =C={ }^{\circ} \mathrm{C} temp +273.15 The minimum temperature possible in the Kelvin scale is the absolute zero temperature (OK\mathrm{OK}).

OK means 273.15C-273.15^{\circ} \mathrm{C}.

Since absolute zero is the coldest possible temperature, there we no negative values on the Kelvin temperature scale.

E) Precision refers to the closeness of various measurements for the same quantity.

Correct.

A measure of how close repeated measurements are to each other is known as precision.

Precision is the reproducibility of a result or measurement.

If weight of a substance is measured five times and get 8.2 kg each time, then the measurement is very precise - Example.

So, the correct statements are (C) , (D) and (E).

Correct answer: Option 3) (C) ,(D) and(E) only

Q82
What is the mass ratio of ethylene glycol (C2H6O2\mathrm{C_2H_6O_2}, molar mass = 62 g/mol) required for making 500 g of 0.25 molal aqueous solution and 250 mL of 0.25 molar aqueous solution?
A 1 : 2
B 1 : 1
C 2 : 1
D 3 : 1
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

For 500 g of 0.25 molal aqueous solution, 0.25 =

w1625001000{{{{{w_1}} \over {62}}} \over {{{500} \over {1000}}}}

=

2w262{{2{w_2}} \over {62}}

......(1) For 250 mL of 0.25 molar aqueous solution

w2622501000=4w262{{{{{w_2}} \over {62}}} \over {{{250} \over {1000}}}} = {{4{w_2}} \over {62}}

.......(2) Dividing equation (1) by (2), we get

0.250.25=2w1624w262{{0.25} \over {0.25}} = {{{{2{w_1}} \over {62}}} \over {{{4{w_2}} \over {62}}}}
2w162=4w262\Rightarrow {{2{w_1}} \over {62}} = {{4{w_2}} \over {62}}
w1w2=42=21\Rightarrow {{{w_1}} \over {{w_2}}} = {4 \over 2} = {2 \over 1}

Note : (1) Molality of solution is defined as number of moles of solute present per kg of solvent.

m=no.ofmoles(solute)weight(inkg)ofsolventm = {{no.\,of\,moles\,(solute)} \over {weight(in\,kg) of solvent}}

(2) Molarity of solution is defined as number of moles of solute present per litre of solution.

M=no.ofmoles(solute)v(inlitreofsolution)M = {{no.\,of\,moles\,(solute)} \over {v(in\,litre\,of\,solution)}}

Q84
Molality (m)(\mathrm{m}) of 3M3 \mathrm{M} aqueous solution of NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} is : (Given : Density of solution =1.25 g mL1=1.25 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1}, Molar mass in g mol1:Na23,Cl35.5\mathrm{g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1}: \mathrm{Na}-23, \mathrm{Cl}-35.5)
A 2.90 m
B 3.85 m
C 1.90 m
D 2.79 m
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

To calculate the molality (m)(\mathrm{m}) of a 3M (molar) aqueous solution of NaCl\mathrm{NaCl}, we need to follow certain steps, using the given data and understanding the definitions properly.

Molarity (M) is defined as the number of moles of solute per liter of solution.

Molality (m)(\mathrm{m}), on the other hand, is defined as the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

The given density of the solution is 1.25 g mL11.25 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1} which allows us to calculate the mass of the solvent in a given volume of solution.

We know: Molarity (M) of NaCl = 3 M3 \mathrm{~M} Density of NaCl solution = 1.25 g mL11.25 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1} Molar mass of NaCl=Na+Cl=23+35.5=58.5 g mol1\mathrm{NaCl} = \mathrm{Na} + \mathrm{Cl} = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mol}^{-1} First, to find the molality, we need to find the moles of NaCl in a given mass of the solvent.

Keeping in mind that 3 M3 \mathrm{~M} means there are 3 moles3 \mathrm{~moles} of NaCl\mathrm{NaCl} per liter of solution, we consider 1 liter (or 1000 mL) of solution to simplify our calculation, knowing that density can convert volume to mass directly.

The mass of 1 liter of NaCl solution is 1.25 g mL1×1000 mL=1250 g1.25 \mathrm{~g} \mathrm{~mL}^{-1} \times 1000 \mathrm{~mL} = 1250 \mathrm{~g}.

Since we have a 3 M solution of NaCl, 3 moles=mass of the solutionmass of solventmolar mass of NaCl3 \mathrm{~moles} = \dfrac{\text{mass of the solution} - \text{mass of solvent}}{\text{molar mass of NaCl}} With 3 moles of NaCl, the mass of NaCl present in 1 L solution =3 moles×58.5 g/mol=175.5 g= 3 \mathrm{~moles} \times 58.5 \mathrm{~g/mol} = 175.5 \mathrm{~g} The mass of the solvent (water) can be found by subtracting the mass of NaCl from the total mass of the solution.

Mass of solvent=1250 g175.5 g=1074.5 g\text{Mass of solvent} = 1250 \mathrm{~g} - 175.5 \mathrm{~g} = 1074.5 \mathrm{~g} To convert this mass into kilograms (since molality is expressed per kilogram of solvent), 1074.5 g=1.0745 kg1074.5 \mathrm{~g} = 1.0745 \mathrm{~kg} Finally, the molality (m)(\mathrm{m}), m=moles of solutekilograms of solvent=3 moles1.0745 kg\mathrm{m} = \dfrac{\text{moles of solute}}{\text{kilograms of solvent}} = \dfrac{3 \mathrm{~moles}}{1.0745 \mathrm{~kg}} m2.79\mathrm{m} \approx 2.79 So, the correct answer is Option D: 2.79 m

= 2 mol No of moles of H2O produced =

918{9 \over {18}}

= 0.5 mol According to stoichiometric mole mole analysis :

molesofCO2x=molesofH2Oy2{{moles\,of\,C{O_2}} \over x} = {{moles\,of\,{H_2}O} \over {{y \over 2}}}

\Rightarrow

2x=0.5y2{2 \over x} = {{0.5} \over {{y \over 2}}}

\Rightarrow

xy=21{x \over y} = {2 \over 1}

So,

noofatomsofCinCxHynoofatomsofHinCxHy=21{{no\,of\,atoms\,of\,'C'\,in\,{C_x}{H_y}} \over {no\,of\,atoms\,of\,'H'\,in\,{C_x}{H_y}}} = {2 \over 1}

\therefore

B 2376 g and 2592 g
C 2592 g and 2376 g
D 3429 g and 3142 g
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

C15H30 +

452{{45} \over 2}

O2 \to 15CO2 + 15H2O Given, volume of fuel = 1L = 1000 ml And density of fuel = 0.756 g/ml We know,

d=wvd = {w \over v}
0.756=w1000\Rightarrow 0.756 = {w \over {1000}}

\Rightarrow w = 756 gm \therefore weight of fuel = 756 gm Molar mass of C15H30 = 15 ×\times 12 + 30 = 210 \therefore Moles of C15H30 =

756210{{756} \over {210}}

From equation you can see, 1 mole of C15H30 react with

452{{45} \over 2}

mole of O2 \therefore

756210{{756} \over {210}}

moles of C15H30 react with

452×756210{{45} \over 2} \times {{756} \over {210}}

moles of O2 \therefore Moles of O2 required =

452×756210{{45} \over 2} \times {{756} \over {210}}

\therefore Mass of O2 required =

452×756210{{45} \over 2} \times {{756} \over {210}}

×\times 32 = 2592 g Also, From 1 mole of C15H30 15 moles of CO2 formed \therefore From

756210{{756} \over {210}}

moles of C15H30 15 ×\times

756210{{756} \over {210}}

moles of CO2 formed \therefore Moles of CO2 formed = 15 ×\times

756210{{756} \over {210}}

\therefore Mass of CO2 formed = 15 ×\times

756210{{756} \over {210}}

The ammonia evolved from the treatment of 0.30 g of an organic compound for the estimation of nitrogen was passed in 100 mL of 0.1 M sulphuric acid. The excess of acid required 20 mL of 0.5 M sodium hydroxide solution for complete neutralization. The organic compound is
A urea
B benzamide
C acetamide
D thiourea
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Initially total H2SO4 present = 100 mL of 0.1 M =

1001000×0.1{{{100} \over {1000}} \times 0.1}

mole = 0.01 mole 2NaOH + H2SO4 \to Na2SO4 + 2H2O Let in this reaction H2SO4 required n mole \therefore

201000×0.52{{{{20} \over {1000}} \times 0.5} \over 2}

=

n1{n \over 1}
n\Rightarrow n

= 0.005 mole So now remaining H2SO4 = 0.01 - 0.005 = 0.005 mole .

Those remaining H2SO4 will react with NH3.

2NH3 + H2SO4 \to (NH4)2SO4 Let no moles of NH3 produce through this reaction is =

\therefore

x2{x \over 2}

=

0.0051{{0.005} \over 1}
x\Rightarrow x

= 0.01 In NH3 no of N atom is 1 and H atom is 3.

So no of moles of N atom in NH3 = 0.01×\times1 = 0.01 mole This 0.01 mole or 0.01×\times14 gm N is produced from 0.3 gm unknown organic compound. \therefore % of N in unknown compound is =

0.01×140.3×100{{0.01 \times 14} \over {0.3}} \times 100

= 46.6 % of N in urea [(NH4)2CO] =

14×260×100{{14 \times 2} \over {60}} \times 100

= 46.6 % [ Mol weight of urea = 60] % of N in benzamide [C6H5CONH2] =

14121×100{14 \over {121}} \times 100

= 11.5 % [ Mol weight of benzamide [C6H5CONH2] = 121] % of N in acetamide [CH3CONH2] =

1459×100{14 \over {59}} \times 100

= 23.4 % [ Mol weight of acetamide [CH3CONH2] = 59] % of N in thiourea [NH2CONH2] =

14×276×100{{14 \times 2} \over {76}} \times 100

Q89
In Dumas' method for estimation of nitrogen 0.4 g of an organic compound gave 60 mL of nitrogen collected at 300 K temperature and 715 mm Hg pressure. The percentage composition of nitrogen in the compound is (Given : Aqueous tension at 300 K=15 mmHg300 \mathrm{~K}=15 \mathrm{~mm} \mathrm{Hg} )
A 15.71%15.71 \%
B 17.46%17.46 \%
C 7.85%7.85 \%
D 20.95%20.95 \%
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Step 1: Calculate the pressure of dry nitrogen gas The nitrogen gas was collected over water, so we subtract the aqueous tension (pressure of water vapor) from the total pressure to find the pressure of dry nitrogen gas.

Pressure of dry N2=715mmHg15mmHg=700mmHg\text{Pressure of dry } \mathrm{N}_2 = 715\,\mathrm{mm\,Hg} - 15\,\mathrm{mm\,Hg} = 700\,\mathrm{mm\,Hg}

Now, convert this pressure from mm Hg to atm:

700mmHg÷760=700760atm700\,\mathrm{mm\,Hg} \div 760 = \frac{700}{760}\,\mathrm{atm}

Step 2: Use the ideal gas equation to find moles of nitrogen The volume of nitrogen (VV) is given as 60 mL.

Convert this to liters: 60 mL = 0.060 L (or use 60×10360 \times 10^{-3} L).

The temperature (TT) is 300 K, and the gas constant (RR) is 0.0821 L·atm·K−1·mol−1.

Using the formula n=PVRT\mathrm{n} = \dfrac{\mathrm{PV}}{\mathrm{RT}}:

n=700×60×103760×0.0821×300\mathrm{n} = \frac{700 \times 60 \times 10^{-3}}{760 \times 0.0821 \times 300}

When you calculate this, you get:

n=0.0022  mole\mathrm{n} = 0.0022\;\text{mole}

Step 3: Calculate the mass of nitrogen gas produced Moles of nitrogen are 0.0022.

The molar mass of N2\mathrm{N}_2 is 28 g/mol.

Mass of N2=0.0022×28=0.063g\text{Mass of } \mathrm{N}_2 = 0.0022 \times 28 = 0.063\,\mathrm{g}

Step 4: Find the percentage of nitrogen in the compound The mass of organic compound taken is 0.4 g.

To find the percentage of nitrogen:

Percentage of nitrogen=Mass of N2Mass of compound×100\text{Percentage of nitrogen} = \frac{\text{Mass of } \mathrm{N}_2}{\text{Mass of compound}} \times 100
=0.0630.4×100=15.71%= \frac{0.063}{0.4} \times 100 = 15.71\%

A 33.6
B 0.84
C 8.4
D 16.8
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

2NaHCO3 + (COOH)2 \to (COONa)2 + 2H2O + 2CO2 \therefore 1 mole of CO2 is produced by 1 mole of NaHCO3.

Given, volume of CO2 produced = 0.25 ml 25 L of CO2 contains 1 mol \therefore 0.25 ml of CO2 contains =

125×103×0.25{1 \over {25 \times {{10}^3}}} \times 0.25

moles = 10-5 moles \therefore Moles of NaHCO3 = 10-5 moles Mass of NaHCO3 = 10-5 ×\times 84 g \therefore % of NaHCO3 in a tablet =

84×10510×103×100{{84 \times {{10}^{ - 5}}} \over {10 \times {{10}^{ - 3}}}} \times 100

= 8.4 %
