Q22
In which case is number of molecules of water maximum?
A 18 mL of water
B 0.18 g of water
C 0.00224 L of water vapours at 1 atm and 273 K
D 10 –3 mol of water
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

(a) 18 mL water : Since, density of H 2 O = 1 g/mL Mass of water = V × d = 18 × 1 = 18 g No. of molecules of H 2 O =

1818×{{18} \over {18}} \times

N A = 1 ×\times N A (b) 0.18 g of water : No. of molecules of H 2 O =

0.1818×{{0.18} \over {18}} \times

N A = 0.01×\times N A (c) Volume of H 2 O(g) STP = 0.00224 L No. of molecules of H 2 O =

V22.4{V \over {22.4}}

×\times N A =

0.0022422.4{{0.00224} \over {22.4}}

×\times N A = 0.0001 ×\times N A (d) No of Molecules of water = mole × N A = 10 –3 N A

Q23
Which of the following is dependent on temperature?
A Molarity
B Mole fraction
C Weight percentage
D Molality
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Molarity = Number of moles of solute Volume of solution (in L) Molality = Number of moles of solute Mass of solvent (in kg) Mole fraction = Number of moles of component Total number of moles of all components Weight percentage = Weight of a component Total weight of solution ×\times 100 KEY Concept : Those units which are volume related will be affected by the change in temperature.

The definition of molarity is - Number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

From definition you can see it is depends on volume which increases with increasing temperature and decreases with decreasing temperature.

All the other three options (Molality, Mole fraction, Weight fraction of solute) are mass related units and temperature has no effect on mass.

Q24
Suppose the elements X and Y combine to form two compounds XY 2 and X 3 Y 2 . When 0.1 mole of XY 2 weights 10 g and 0.05 mole of X 3 Y 2 weighs 9 g, the atomic weights of X and Y are
A 40, 30
B 60, 40
C 20, 30
D 30, 20
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

Assume the atomic weight of element X is x and element Y is y. For XY 2 ,

n=wMol.wt.n = {w \over {Mol.\,\,wt.}}
0.1=10x+2y0.1 = {{10} \over {x + 2y}}
x+2y=100.1=100\Rightarrow x + 2y = {{10} \over {0.1}} = 100

...(i) For X 3 Y 2 ,

n=wMol.wt.n = {w \over {Mol.\,\,wt.}}
0.05=93x+2y0.05 = {9 \over {3x + 2y}}
3x+2y=90.05=180\Rightarrow 3x + 2y = {9 \over {0.05}} = 180

...(ii) On solving equations (i) and (ii), we get y = 30 g mol -1 Put the value of y in equation. (i) x + 2(30) = 100 \Rightarrow x = 100 - 60 = 40 g mol -1

A 3.5 g
B 7 g

Q26
What is the mole fraction of the solute in a 1.00 m aqueous solution?
A 1.770
B 0.0354
C 0.0177
D 0.177
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

Number of moles of water in 1000 g =

100018{{1000} \over {18}}

= 55.56 mol Thus, mole fraction of solute =

11+55.56{1 \over {1 + 55.56}}

= 0.0177

Q27
The number of water molecules is maximum in
A 1.8 gram of water
B 18 gram of water
C 18 moles of water
D 18 molecules of water
Correct Answer
Option C
Solution

1.8 g of water =

6.023×102318×1.8{{6.023 \times {{10}^{23}}} \over {18}} \times 1.8

= 6.023 ×\times 10 22 molecules \therefore 18 g of water = 6.023 ×\times 10 23 molecules = 1 mole of water \therefore 18 moles of water = 18 ×\times 6.023 ×\times 10 23 molecules

Q28
If Avogadro number N A , is changed from 6.022 × \times 10 23 mol -1 to 6.022 × \times 10 20 mol -1 , this would change
A the mass of one mole of carbon
B the ratio of chemical species to each other in a balanced equation
C the ratio of elements to each other in a compound
D the definition of mass in units of grams.
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

We know mass of 1 mol (6.022 ×\times 10 23 ) atoms of carbon = 12 g If Avogadro number is changed to 6.022 ×\times 10 20 then mass of 1 mol of cabon is =

12×6.022×10206.022×1023{{12 \times 6.022 \times {{10}^{20}}} \over {6.022 \times {{10}^{23}}}}

=

12×103g12 \times {10^{ - 3}}\,g

\therefore It would change the mass of one mole of carbon.

Q29
A mixture of gases contains H 2 and O 2 gases in the ratio of 1 : 4 (w/w). What is the molar ratio of the two gases in the mixture ?
A 16 : 1
B 2 : 1
C 1 : 4
D 4 : 1
Correct Answer
Option D
Solution

Ratio of weight of gases = w H 2 : w O 2 = 1 : 4 \therefore Number of moles of H 2 =

121 \over 2

\therefore Number of moles of O 2 =

4324 \over 32

Ratio of moles of gases = n H 2 : n O 2 =

121 \over 2

:

4324 \over 32

=

121 \over 2

×\times

32432 \over 4

= 4 : 1

Q30
When 22.4 liters of H 2 (g) is mixed with 11.2 litres of Cl 2 (g) , each at S.T.P. the moles of HCl (g) formed is equal to
A 1 mol of HCl (g)
B 2 mol of HCl (g)
C 0.5 mol of HCl (g)
D 1.5 mol of HCl (g)
Correct Answer
Option A
Solution

1 mole = 22.4 L at S.T.P<br><br> n<sub>H<sub>2</sub></sub> =

22.422.4{{22.4} \over {22.4}}

= 1 mole<br><br> n<sub>Cl<sub>2</sub></sub> =

11.222.4{{11.2} \over {22.4}}

= 0.5 mole<br><br> <table class=tg> <tbody><tr> <th class=tg-s6z2></th> <th class=tg-s6z2>H<sub>2</sub></th> <th class=tg-s6z2>+</th> <th class=tg-s6z2>Cl<sub>2</sub></th> <th class=tg-s6z2>\Rightarrow</th> <th class=tg-s6z2>2HCl<sub>(g)</sub></th> </tr> <tr> <td class=tg-s6z2>Initial</td> <td class=tg-s6z2>1 mol</td> <td class=tg-s6z2></td> <td class=tg-s6z2>0.5 mol</td> <td class=tg-s6z2></td> <td class=tg-s6z2>0</td> </tr> <tr> <td class=tg-s6z2>Final</td> <td class=tg-s6z2>( 1 - 0.5) <br> = 0.5 mol</td> <td class=tg-s6z2></td> <td class=tg-s6z2>(0.5 - 0.5) <br> = 0 mol</td> <td class=tg-s6z2></td> <td class=tg-s6z2>2 x 0.5 <br> 1 mol</td> </tr> </tbody></table><br> Here Cl<sub>2</sub> is limiting reagent.

So 1 mole of HCl<sub>(g)</sub> is formed.
