Some Basic Concepts of Chemistry

1. Answer (B)
We will have to take weighted average
54  5  90  56  5  57
= 55.95
100
2. Answer (B, C)
(A) If empirical formula of 3 is P3Q4, then molecular formula is (P3Q4)n

3MP 40 2
 3M  4M  100  5
P Q

15MP = 6MP + 8MQ

9MP = 8MQ

 3MP  8MQ
 For P3Q5, % of P =  3M  5M   100 =  100  34.78%
 P Q  23M Q

(B) If empirical formula of compound 3 is P3Q2, we have

3MP 2

3MP  2MQ 5

15MP = 6MP + 4MQ

9MP = 4MQ

If MP = 20

180
MQ   45
4

(C) If empirical formula of 2 is PQ

MP 4 44.44
 M  M  9  100
P Q

9MP = 5MP + 4MQ

5MP = 4MQ

If empirical formula is assumed as P5Q4,

 5MP 
% of P =  5M  4M   100 = 50
 P Q 

Hence P5Q4 is the empirical formula of compound

(D) If empirical formula of I is P2Q, we have

 2MP 
% of P =  2M  M   100 = 50
 P Q 

4MP = 2MP + MQ
2MP = MQ
Hence, atomic weight of P and Q cannot be 70 and 35 respectively.
Hence (B, C) are correct
3. Answer (3)
25.2  25.25  25
Average titre value = = 25.15
3
Siginificant figure is 3.
4. Answer (4)
6.023 × 1023 × 1.380 × 10–23 = 8.312
It has four significant figure.
5. Answer (8)
w 2  1000
m
m2  w 1
1 mL solvent having mass 0.4 g.
1000 mL solvent having mass 400 g
1000 mL solution contain 3.2 × 80 g solute = 256 g
256  1000
 m 8
80  400
6. Answer (6.00 to 6.20)

2Al(s)  3H2SO4 (aq)  Al2 (SO 4 )3 (aq)  3H2 (g)

5.4 50  5
Moles taken
27 1000

= 0.2 moles 0.25 moles

H2SO4 is limiting reagent

 Moles of H2(g) produced = 0.25 moles

Using ideal gas equation : PV = nRT

0.25  0.082  300

 V
1

V = 6.15 L
