NEET Previous Year Questions (2014-2023): Some Basic Concepts

of Chemistry
Q.1. Select the correct statements from the following (2023)
A. Atoms of all elements are composed of two fundamental particles.
–31
B. The mass of the electron is 9.10939 × 10 kg.
C. All the isotopes of a given element show same chemical properties.
D. Protons and electrons are collectively known as nucleons.
E. Dalton’s atomic theory, regarded the atom as an ultimate particle of matter.
Choose the correct answer from the options given below
(a) A, B and C only
(b) C, D and E only
(c) A and E only
(d) B, C and E only
Ans: d
Atoms consist of three fundamental particles: Electrons, protons and neutrons
The mass of the electron is 9.10939 × 10–31 kg
All the isotopes of a given element show same chemical properties.
Protons and neutrons present in the nucleus are collectively called as nucleons.
Dalton’s atomic theory, regarded the atom as the ultimate particle of matter.
So, the correct statements are B, C, E only

Q.2. The right option for the mass of CO2 produced by heating 20 g of 20% pure limestone is
(Atomic mass of Ca = 40) (2023)

(a) 1.12 g
(b) 1.76 g

(c) 2.64 g
(d) 1.32 g
Ans: b

From 100 g CaCO3 → 44 g CO2 produced

As CaCO3 is 20% pure

So, 100 g CaCO3 → 44 g CO2

= 1.76 g CO2

Q.3. What mass of 95% pure CaCO3 will be required to neutralise 50 mL of 0.5 M HCl solution
according to the following reactions?

[Calculate upto second place of decimal point] (2022)

(a) 3.65 g
(b) 9.50 g
(c) 1.25 g
(d) 1.32 g
Ans: d

Q.4. An organic compound contains 80% (by wt.) carbon and the remaining percentage of
hydrogen. The right option for the empirical formula of this compound is: [Atomic wt. of

C is 12, H is 1] (2021)
(a) CH3
(b) CH4
(c) CH
(d) CH2
Ans: a
An empirical formula represents the simplest whole number ratio of various atoms present in a
compound, whereas, the molecular formula shows the exact number of different types of atoms
present in a molecule of a compound.

Q.5. Which one of the followings has maximum number of atoms? (2020)
(a) 1g of O2(g) (Atomic mass of O = 16)
(b) 1g of Li(s) (Atomic mass of Li = 7)
(c) 1g of Ag(s) (Atomic mass of Ag = 108)
(d) 1g of Mg(s) (Atomic mass of Mg = 24)
Ans: b
(a) no. of atoms

(b) no. of atoms

(c) no. of atoms

(d) no. of atoms

∴ 1 gm of Li is having maximum no. of atoms.

Q.6. The number of moles of hydrogen molecules required to produce 20 moles of

ammonia through Haber's process is : (2019)
(a) 10

(b) 20
(c) 30
(d) 40
Ans: c
Haber's process

20 moles need to be produced

2 moles of NH3 → 3 moles of H2
Hence 20 moles of moles of H2

Q.7. In which case is the number of molecules of water maximum? (2018)

(a) 18 mL of water
(b) 0.18 g of water
(c) 0.00224 L of water vapours at 1 atm and 273 K
-3
(d) 10 mol of water
Ans: a

Q.8. A mixture of gases contains H2 and O2 gases in the ratio of 1 : 4 (w/w). What is the

molar ratio of the two gases in the mixture ? (2015)

(a) 2:1
(b) 1:4
(c) 4:1
(d) 16:1
Ans: c

Q.9. 1.0 g of magnesium is burnt with 0.56 g O2 in a closed vessel. Which reactant is left in
excess and how much ? (2014)
(At. wt. Mg = 24; O = 16)
(a) Mg, 0.44 g
(b) O2, 0.28 g
(c) Mg, 0.16 g
(d) O2, 0.16 g
Ans: c

Q.10. When 22.4 litres of H2 (g) is mixed with 11.2 litres of Cl2 (g) , each at S.T.P., the
moles of HCl (g) formed is equal to : (2014)
(a) 0.5 mol of HCl (g)
(b) 1.5 mol of HCl (g)
(c) 1 mol of HCl (g)
(d) 2 mol of HCl (g)
Ans: c

1 mole = 22.4 liters at S.T.P.

Here, Cl2 is limiting reagent. So, 1 mole of HCI(g) is formed.
