Answer

1. How are 0.50 mol Na2 CO3 and 0.50 M Na2 CO3 different?

Ans: Molecular mass of Na2 CO3 = 2 × 23 + 12 × 1 + 16 × 3 = 106u

∴ 0.50 mol of Na2 CO3 = 0.50 × 106 = 53 g of Na2 CO3
0.50MNa2 CO3 means 0.5 mol of Na2 CO3 , i.e. 53 g of Na2 CO3 has been dissolved in 1
litre of solution.

2. If 10 volumes of dihydrogen gas react with five volumes of dioxygen gas, how many
volumes of water vapour would be produced?

Ans: 2H2 (𝑔) + O2 (𝑔) ⟶ 2H2 O(𝑔)

∵ 2 volumes of H2 react with 1 volume of O2 to from 2 volumes of H2 O

2
∴ 10 volumes of H2 react with 5 volumes of O2 to form 2 × 10 = 10 volumes of H2 O.

3. In a reaction 𝐴 + 𝐵2 ⟶ 𝐴𝐵2 , identify the limiting reagent when 2 mole of 𝐴 are mixed
with 3 moles of 𝐁2 .

Ans: 1 mole of 𝐴 reacts with 1 mole of 𝐵2 2 moles of 𝐴 reacts with 2 moles of 𝐵2 . But we
have 3 moles of 𝐵2 .
∴ 𝐵2 is excess reagent, ' 𝐴 ' is limiting reagent.

4. Why molality is preferred over molarity of a solution?

Ans: Molarity of a solution depends upon temperature because volume of a solution

varies with different temperature but molality is independent of temperature.

5. Classify the following into elements, compounds and mixtures: water, tea, silver, steel,
carbon dioxide and platinum.
Ans: Element: Silver, platinum,
Compounds: water, carbon dioxide,
Mixture: Tea, steel.

6. What does the following prefixes stand for:

(a) pico (b) nano
(c) micro (d) deci

Ans: (a) 10−12 (b) 10−9

(c) 10−6 (d) 10−1
7. How many grams of KClO3 must be decomposed to prepare 3.36 litres of oxygen at STP?
(Atomic weight of = 39, 𝐶𝑙 = 35.5, 𝑂 = 16𝐮 )
2KClO3 (𝑠) 3O2
Ans: ⟶ 2KCl +
(2 × 122.5 = 245 g) (3 × 22.4 L)
Since, 3 × 22.4 L of O2 at STP is liberated from 245 g of KClO3 .
245 823.2
Therefore, 3.36 L of O2 at STP is liberated from 3×22.4 × 3.36 = 67.2 = 12.25 gofKClO3

8. Calculate the moles of NaOH required to neutralize the solution produced by dissolving
1.1 g P4 O6 in water. Use the following reactions:
P4 O6 + 6H2 O ⟶ 4H3 PO3
2NaOH + H3 PO3 ⟶ Na2 HPO3 + 2H2 O
(Atomic mass/g mo𝑙 −1 ; P = 31, O = 16)

Ans: P4 O6 + 6H2 O ⟶ 4H3 PO3

2NaOH + H3 PO3 ⟶ Na2 HPO3 + 2H2 O
Molecular weight of P4 O6 = 4 × 31 + 6 × 16
= 124 + 96 = 220 g mol−1
1.1 g 1 1
Number of moles of P4 O6 = = moles ∵ 4 moles of H3 PO3 is produced by
220 200 200
moles of P4 O6
1 1
∵ 1 mole of H3 PO3 will require 4 × = moles of P4 O6
200 50
1 1
moles of P4 O6 produce 4 × moles of H3 PO3 Also, 1 mole of H3 PO3 requires 2
200 200
1 1 1
moles of NaOH. 50 moles of H3 PO3 requires 2 × 50 = 25 = 0.04 moles of NaOH.

9. Hydrogen reacts with nitrogen to produce ammonia according to the equation:

3H2 (𝑔) + 𝐍2 (𝑔) ⟶ 2𝐍𝐇3 (𝑔)
Determine how much ammonia would be produced if 100 g of N2 reacts?
Ans: 3H2 ( g) + N2 ( g) ⟶ 2NH3 ( g)
(2×14=28 g) (2×17=34 g)
Now, 28 g of N2 reacts with hydrogen to form 34 g of NH3
Hence, 100 g of N2 reacts with hydrogen to form
34 3400
× 100 = = 121.4 g

10. (i) How can you say that sugar is solid and water is liquid?
(ii) Oxygen is prepared by catalytic decomposition of potassium chlorate (KClO3 ).
Decomposition of potassium chlorate gives potassium chloride (KCl) and oxygen (O2 ). If
2.4 mol of oxygen is needed for an experiment, how many grams of potassium chlorate
must be decomposed? (At. mass of K = 39, Cl = 35.5, O = 16 )
Ans: (i) Sugar has fixed shape and volume where as water has fixed volume but not fixed
shape.
(ii) 2KClO3 (𝑠) ⟶ 2KCl(𝑠) + 3O2 (𝑔)
Molar mass of KClO3 = 39 + 35.5 + 3 × 16 = 122.5
For 3 moles of O2 we need 2 × 122.5 g of KClO3 . For 2.4 mole of O2 we need
2×122.5
= 3 × 2.4 = 196 g of KClO3 .

11. What volume of 0.1MNaOH solution is required to neutralise 100ml of concentrated

aqueous sulphuric acid which contains 98% H2 SO4 by mass. The density of concentrated
 sulphuric acid solution is 1.84 g ml−1 . NaOH reacts with H2 SO4 according to the following
reaction:
2NaOH + H2 SO4 ⟶ Na2 SO4 + 2H2 O
(Atomic mass /g mol−1 H = 1, S = 32, O = 16 ).

= 98 × 100 × 1.84
2(M1 V1 )H2SO4 = (M2 V2 )NaOH
⇒ 2 × 18.4M × 100ml = 0.1M × V2
2×18.4×100
⇒ V2 = = 36.80 × 103 ml = 36.8 L

12. Calculate the weight of FeO formed from 2 g of VO and 5.75 g of Fe2 O3 . Also, report the
limiting reagent.
2VO + 3Fe2 O3 ⟶ 6FeO + V2 O5
(Atomic mass of V = 51.4, O = 16, Fe = 55.9 g )
Ans: 2VO + 3Fe2 O3 ⟶ 6FeO + V2 O5
Molar mass of VO = 51.4 + 16 = 67.4
Molar mass of Fe2 O3 = 2 × 55.9 + 3 × 16
= 111.8 + 48 = 159.8
3×159.8
2 × 67.4 g of VO reacts with 3 × 159.8 g of Fe2 O3 2 g of VO reacts with 2×67.4 × 2
479.4
= 7.1 g of Fe2 O3 .
67.4
Since Fe2 O3 is present in small amount, therefore, it is limiting reactant.
3 × 159.8 g of Fe2 O3 gives 6(55.9 + 16)g of FeO
6×71.9
5.75 g of Fe2 O3 gives × 5.75
3×159.8
= 5.174 g of FeO
