Answer of MCQ

1. (d)

(ii) 20 moles of water = 20 ×18 g = 360 g of water, because mass of 1 mole of water is the same as
its molar mass, i.e., 18 g.

(iv) 1.2044 × 1025 molecules of water contains

1.2044 ´ 1025 number of moles, NA = 6.023 X 1023

NA

1.2044 ´ 1025
\ = 20moles
6.022 ´ 1023

20 moles of water = 20 X 18g

= 360 of water

2. (a) Inert gases exist in monoatomic form.

3. (b)

4. (d)

5. (c)

Weight of a sample in gram = number of moles × molar mass

(a) 0.2 moles of C12H22O11 = 0.2 × 342 = 68.4 g

(b) 2 moles of CO2 = 2×44 = 88 g

(c) 2 moles of CaCO3 = 2×100 = 200 g

(d) 10 moles of H2O = 10×18 = 180 g

8. (a)

Mass of one atom of oxygen = Atomic mass/NA

9. (a)

Number of moles of sucrose = Mass of substance/ Molar Mass

3.42
= 0.01mol
342mol-1

1 mol of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) contains = 11× NA atoms of oxygen

0.01 mol of sucrose (C12 H22 O11) contains = 0.01 × 11 × NA atoms of oxygen

4
= 0.11× NA atoms of oxygen

Number of moles of water =

18g
= 1mol
18gmol-1

1 mol of water (H2O) contains 1×NA atom of oxygen

Total number of oxygen atoms = Number of oxygen atoms from sucrose +

Number of oxygen atoms from water

= 0.11 NA + 1.0 NA = 1.11NA

Number of oxygen atoms in solution = 1.11 × Avogadro’s number

= 1.11 × 6.022 ×1023

= 6.68 × 1023

Q3. How many moles are there in 1 litre of water?2 marks

Ans.

1L water=1000g
18 g water contains 1 mole
1000g of water contains

=55.56 mole
18

Q4. If one mole of oxygen atom weighs 16 grams, then what will be the mass (in grams) of

1 atom of oxygen? 3 marks

Ans. 1 mole of oxygen has 6.022 x 1023 oxygen atoms.

1 mole of oxygen atoms weigh 16 grams.

Thus, mass of 6.022 x 1023 atoms of oxygen is 16 grams.

So,

1atom of oxygenhas mass= g
6.022×1023
=2.66×10-23g

Q6. How many grams of hydrogen gas contain the same number of molecules as
22 grams of carbon dioxide gas?5 marks

Ans.

1 mole of carbon dioxide (CO2 ) weighs 12+2×16=44 g

Thus, 44 g of CO2=1mole
1
22g CO2= mole
2
1
Now, mole of carbon dioxide will have the same number of molecules
2
1
as mole of hydrogen.
2
1mole of hydrogen weighs 2 g
1 2
mole of hydrogen weighs =1 g
2 2

Thus, 1 gram of oxygen will contain the same number of molecules as 22 grams of carbon
dioxide.

Q7. Calculate the number of chromium atom in 1.47 g of potassium dichromate

(K2Cr2O7) [Atomic mass: K=39, Cr=52, O=16].5 marks

Ans.

1 mole of K2Cr2O7=2×39+2×52+7×16
=294 grams
294 grams of K2Cr2O7 contains 2 mole of Cr atom
2×1.47
1.47grams of K2Cr2O7 contains
294
=0.01mole of Cr atom
1mole of Cr atom=6.022×1023 atoms of Cr
0.01mole of Cr atom=6.022×1023×0.01
=6.022×1021
