Q1Multiple choice

Which of the following correctly represents 360 g of water?

Choose the option :

(a) (i)

(b) (i) and (iv)

(c) (ii) and (iii)

(d) (ii) and (iv)

Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Answer is (d) (ii) and (iv)

Explanation:

Number of moles = Mass of water / Molar mass of water

Number of moles = 360g / 18g/mol

Number of moles = 20

Number of molecules = 20 x 6.022 x 1023 = 1.2044 x 1025 molecules of water

Thus, option (d) is correct.

Worked solution

Answer is (c) 2 moles of CaCO3

Explanation:

The molecular mass of C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁ is = 12(12) + 22(1) + 11(16) gm = 342 gm

0.2 moles of it weigh = 0.2 x 342 gm = 68.4gm

The molar mass of CO₂ is = 12 + 2(16) gm = 44gm

2 moles of it weigh = 2 x 44 = 88gm

The molar mass of CaCO₃ weigh = 40 + 12 + 3(16) = 100gm

2 mole of it weigh = 2 x 100 gm = 200gm

Molar mass of H₂O is = 2(1) + 16 = 18gm

10 mole of it weigh = 10 x 18 gm = 180gm

Q6Multiple choice

Which of the following has maximum number of atoms?

Show answerHide answer
Correct option: D
Show solutionHide solution
Worked solution

Answer is (d) 18g of CH4

Explanation:

Number of atoms = Mass of substance × Number of atoms in the molecule/ Molar mass × NA

(a) 18 g of water =18 x3/18 ×NA = 3 NA

(b) 18 g of oxygen = 18 x2 /32 × NA = 1.12 NA

(c) 18 g of CO2 = 18 x3/44 × NA = 1.23 NA

(d) 18 g of CH4 =18 x5 /16 × NA = 5.63 NA

Note: NA = 6.023×1023
